Simplified procedure for controlling pressure distribution of a scramjet combustor

Scramjet engines are used at extreme temperatures and velocity. New control problems involving distributed parameter control have been found concerning investigations of the control of scramjet engines whose physical states are spatially interacted. Succeeding the existing theoretical studies on the distributed parameter control for scramjet engines, this paper puts forward a simplified distributed parameter control approach for scramjet engines aimed at engineering application. The simplified control procedure uses the classical proportional-integral（PI） compensation to control the target pressure distribution of scramjet engines, which is effective and applicable for practical implements. Simulation results show the validation of the simplified distributed parameter control procedure.     

带前体压缩的前掠侧压式进气道实验及数值研究

为提高侧压式进气道流量系数，设计了一种前机身顶压与侧压相结合的前掠侧压式进气道，在马赫5．3小高超风洞中完成吹风实验，并用FLUENT软件对进气道流场进行了数值模拟，分析了主要流动特征，获得了进气道基本性能。实验结果表明，马赫5．3设计状态下，这种前掠侧压式进气道的流量系数可以达到0．85以上，比一般后掠进气道提高20％左右。通过数值及实验研究发现，进气道下游隔离段内由于上下壁面的巨大压差导致顶板对称面两侧出现对涡，涡面将隔离段内的流动分为高速高能区与低速低能区两种流动。

Experimental study on flow excursion instability of supercritical hydrocarbon fuel in scramjet regenerative cooling parallel channels

Flow instability of supercritical hydrocarbon fuel is a crucial issue in scramjet regenerative cooling structure. In this study, flow excursion instability and flow distribution in parallel tubes were experimentally studied for supercritical fluids. Two types of flow excursion occur in a single tube. Type I and Type II excursions, and they are corresponding to decreasing and increasing flow rate respectively. They can trigger flow maldistribution between parallel tubes and the hysteresis phenomenon of flow distribution. The effects of system parameters, including inlet temperature, system pressure, and heat flux, on flow distribution were analyzed. In addition, the relationship between flow excursion and the pseudo-critical interval proposed in the literature was established according to the heated tube outlet temperature at the onset of flow instability. Finally, the flow excursion instability boundary was obtained using two dimensionless parameters. These experimental results can provide helpful insight on the mechanism of Scramjet regenerative cooling.     

喷注方案对圆形超燃冲压发动机性能的影响研究

在飞行马赫数Ma=6，总当量比为1.0条件下，采用三维数值模拟研究了不同喷注位置煤油当量比分布对双凹腔圆形发动机推力性能和壁面热流的影响。喷注位置包括支板壁面喷注K1，隔离段出口壁面喷注K2，第一凹腔尾缘壁面喷注K3以及第一扩张段壁面喷注K4。结果表明，K1注油当量比大小直接影响燃烧室内的燃烧模态和流道中心燃烧。为了保证发动机推力性能，K1注油须达到一定量，促使流道燃烧处于亚燃模态，且流道内具有较强的中心燃烧。为优化发动机壁面热流环境，剩余燃料需要在K2，K3和K4分散注入。K2和K3注油当量比大小同时影响第一凹腔燃烧性能，其中K2注油当量比降低，推力性能下降，但壁面热流性能提高，而适当增加K3喷注煤油，有利于提高推力性能。增加K4注油，第二凹腔及其之后流道区域燃烧增强，发动机推力性能和热流性能均提高。通过分析各注油位不同当量比分布对发动机力热性能的影响规律，最终获得了力热性能较优的注油当量比分配方案，此时K1～K4注油当量比大小依次为0.6，0.1，0.1，0.2。     

Effect of injection scheme on asymmetric phenomenon in rectangular and circular scramjets

The asymmetric separation has a crucial effect on the performance of the scramjet. In this study, the asymmetric separation and combustion in both rectangular and circular scramjets are investigated numerically, and the effect of injection scheme is analyzed. The characteristics of the flow field are analyzed based on sufficient code verification. In the rectangular scramjet, the separation tends to occur in the corner due to the corner boundary-layer effect. The separation is asymmetric and only two corners have serious separation. The fuel penetration depth in the separation zone increases and the combustion is intensified. When the injection scheme is uniform, both the combustion and separation become weak. In the circular scramjet, the separation and combustion are basically axisymmetric in the scramjet with one-row injection scheme. The asymmetric combustion becomes obvious in cases with multi-row injection scheme. When the injection orifices distribute intensively on the top and bottom sides, the strongest and weakest separations occur near these two sides respectively. When the distribution of orifices becomes uniform, the direction of separation cannot be predicted. For multi-row cases, the nonuniform injection scheme could result in violent combustion and asymmetric flow structures compared with the uniform injection scheme.     

中心支板参数对RBCC发动机性能影响研究

针对某宽域加速飞行任务下RBCC发动机中心支板主要几何参数设计问题，采用全流道一体化数值模拟方法，在Ma 0.4-6速域内研究支板阻塞比、顶角及长宽比等参数对发动机引射、亚/超燃模态的性能影响规律。结果表明，随着阻塞比增大，各模态下空气流动受压缩作用增强，燃烧反应更加充分，发动机总推力有0.13%-5%的提升；随着顶角增大，除Ma 2.5工况由流道截面构型变化引起激波形成外，增强的支板前缘激波使得燃烧反应位置较为集中，燃料喷注贯穿主流深度提高，较为充分的燃烧释热使得发动机总推力有2.2%-5.7%的提升；随着长宽比减小，在Ma 0.4-4条件下，增大的流道面积有利于煤油横向扩展，较好的氧燃掺混使得发动机总推力有2%-4.8%的提升，而在Ma 6条件下，支板前缘激波的减速增压作用逐渐减弱，发动机总推力可降低5.2%-7.1%。所得结论可为RBCC发动机中心支板设计参数选择提供依据。
