高背压等离子点火器及其液体燃料点火特性实验研究

航天应用的液体火箭发动机及燃烧型加热器燃烧室室压高、燃料流量大、温度低、有重复启动需求，实现安全可靠点火的难度较大。针对这些需求，研究了一种采用高背压设计的电弧等离子体点火器。实验研究了Ar，N₂气体工质在高进气压力下的伏安特性，发现N₂在宽压力范围内适用于点火。发射光谱分析表明，在高达数MPa的进气压力下，Ar，N₂等离子体射流电子密度符合局部热力学平衡判据（LTE判据），点火能量集中。N₂等离子体整体温度低于Ar，但阳极喷口附近温度高于Ar，N₂等离子体射流火焰长，卷吸沿程空气造成射流平均温度偏低，但有助于低温液体推进剂的蒸发混合和强化点火。等离子体射流引起了臭氧和氮氧化物的形成，具有促进点火和化学反应的作用。背压提高引起电源输出电压升高，提高供气压力和电流，有助于点火器在高背压环境中稳定电压。燃烧型空气加热器燃烧室的点火实验发现，采用N₂等离子体喷注面中心点火，可以在短时间内完成酒精-空气和酒精-液氧-空气的点火，最高燃烧室室压接近5MPa时，点火器仍能稳定工作，多次使用电极烧蚀不明显，在液体火箭发动机的重复可靠点火方面具有很好的应用前景。     

详细化学反应机理对预混丙烷钝体熄火模拟影响

航空发动机熄火预测是重要关键问题之一，湍流和化学反应的非线性相互作用使预测非常困难。本文采用大涡模拟（LES）对湍流进行高精度模拟，采用概率密度函数输运方程湍流燃烧模型（TPDF）耦合JL4、Z66和H73三种化学反应机理，对预混丙烷钝体熄火现象和规律进行研究。JL4的反应机理最简单，反应释热快，局部放热高，火焰宽度大，火焰两侧温度梯度大，燃烧更加趋于稳定，无法模拟出熄火状态。H73机理绝热火焰温度低，火焰温度低，回流区中部OH含量高；在近熄火状态，大量CO被氧化，释放热量过高导致无法模拟出熄火现象。Z66机理可以模拟出火焰正常状态，在低当量比下也可以模拟出熄火状态。本文算例中，局部Da数大于1的区域超过35%则会发生熄火。     

螺旋桨滑流对发动机进气道气动性能的影响

针对螺旋桨/短舱/进气道一体化构型,采用多重参考系(MRF)法和滑移网格非定常法进行了数值模拟研究,实现了螺旋桨/短舱/进气道一体化内外流耦合流场仿真,研究了不同工况下螺旋桨滑流对进气道气动性能的影响,并与无桨构型的进气道性能进行了对比,最后通过数值分析解释了螺旋桨桨盘后总压上升的原因。结果表明:多重参考系法和滑移网格非定常法对进气道出口的时均参数的计算结果吻合较好,多重参考系法可用于螺旋桨及进气道的气动性能参数计算;螺旋桨做功使进气道总压恢复系数增高,螺旋桨转速越大,总压恢复系数的增量就越大,且螺旋桨滑流使进气道出口畸变指数明显增大;通过数值分析推导的桨盘前后总压关系公式与仿真结果的误差均在3%以内。

多机并联火箭羽流流场及其底部热环境分析

For the problem that the plume flow field structure of a multi engine parallel rocket is complicated and the bottom thermal environment is extremely harsh, which may cause the failure of the engine structural components, the plume flow field and thermal environment at different altitudes are studied through numerical simulation. The result is compared with the measured results in flight which shows that when the rocket is flying at a low altitude, the plume of the engines do not interfere with each other. As the flight altitude increases, the plumes gradually expand and begin to interfere with each other, and finally there is an obvious backflow at the bottom of the rocket. The maximum heat flux at the moment of take off is basically the same as the measured value in flight. Before the backflow occurs, the heat flux mainly consists of radiant heat, the convective heat flow increases as the flight altitude grows, but it is also much smaller than the peak heat flow at takeoff. The result has certain guiding significance for the optimal design of engine structure thermal protection.     

A novel control method for turboshaft engine with variable rotor speed based on the Ngdot estimator through LQG/LTR and rotor predicted torque feedforward

In order to compensate for the disturbance of wide variation in rotor demanded torque on power turbine speed and realize the fast response control of turboshaft engine during variable rotor speed, a cascade PID control method based on the acceleration estimator of gas turbine speed (Ngdot) and rotor predicted torque feedforward is proposed. Firstly, a two-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) model is applied in the integrated rotor/turboshaft engine system to achieve variable rotor speed. Then, an online estimation method of Ngdot based on the Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR) is proposed for power turbine speed cascade control. Finally, according to the cascade PID controller based on Ngdot estimator, a rotor demanded torque predicted method based on the Min-batch Gradient Descent-Neural Network (MGD-NN) is put forward to compromise the influence of rotor torque interference. The simulation results show that compared with cascade PID controller based on Ngdot estimator and the one combined with collective pitch feedforward control, the novel control method proposed can reduce the overshoot of power turbine speed by more than 20%, which possesses faster response, superior dynamic effect and satisfactory robustness performance. The control method proposed can realize the fast response control of turboshaft engine with variable rotor speed better.     

Satellite launch vehicle effect on the Earth’s lower ionosphere: A case study

The effect of the rocket exhaust products on the D-region of the ionosphere is investigated with the help of Very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic wave propagation characteristics within the Earth-ionosphere waveguide. The changes in the electron density profile are computed from the observed VLF signal amplitude perturbations about 3 dB during the rocket launch. We find a localized electron depletion in the lower ionosphere at an altitude of around 58 km, that is thought to be originated by the attachment of ionospheric ion and molecular hydrogen along with water molecule in the exhaust product of first stage burn of Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket at the time of GSLV launched from Sriharikota, India, on 27 August 2015 at 11:22 UT (16:52 IST). The ionospheric depletion perturbed the navigational VLF signal (VTX = 17 kHz) 134 s after the launch of the GSLV rocket.
