Hypersonic shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interaction in a sharp cone/flare model

A direct numerical simulation of hypersonic Shock wave and Turbulent Boundary Layer Interaction(STBLI) at Mach 6.0 on a sharp 7° half-angle circular cone/flare configuration at zero angle of attack is performed. The flare angle is 34° and the momentum thickness Reynolds number based on the incoming turbulent boundary layer on the sharp circular cone is Re_θ = 2506. It is found that the mean flow is separated and the separation bubble occurring near the corner exhibits unsteadiness. The Reynolds analogy factor changes dramatically across the interaction, and varies between 1.06 and 1.27 in the downstream region, while the QP85 scaling factor has a nearly constant value of 0.5 across the interaction. The evolution of the reattached boundary layer is characterized in terms of the mean profiles, the Reynolds stress components, the anisotropy tensor and the turbulence kinetic energy. It is argued that the recovery is incomplete and the near-wall asymptotic behavior does not occur for the hypersonic interaction. In addition, mean skin friction decomposition in an axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer is carried out for the first time. Downstream of the interaction, the contributions of transverse curvature and body divergence are negligible, whereas the positive contribution associated with the turbulence kinetic energy production and the negative spatial-growth contribution are dominant. Based on scale decomposition, the positive contribution is further divided into terms with different spanwise length scales. The negative contribution is analyzed by comparing the convective term, the streamwise-heterogeneity term and the pressure gradient term.     

考虑约束的高超声速飞行器制导与控制一体化设计

针对高超声速飞行器上升段飞行过程中强耦合、强非线性同时要求满足过程约束的特点，提出了一种结合级联控制方法和控制障碍函数的新型三维制导控制一体化算法。首先通过对速度子系统设计控制障碍函数约束算法来满足飞行器的过程约束要求，然后利用反步法、动态逆控制方法设计其余子系统的控制器，两者共同组成制导控制一体化控制器。考虑到飞行器在上升过程中容易遭遇阵风扰动的问题，设计非线性干扰观测器以增强算法的鲁棒性。最后通过李雅普诺夫函数证明了系统的稳定性，并且通过仿真验证了该新算法能够在满足高超声速飞行器上升段过程约束的同时，实现飞行器的三维跟踪控制。     

临近空间高超声速稀薄流中梯形缝隙绕流分析

针对高超声速飞行器表面不规则缝隙的构型特征，将其简化为梯形缝隙模型；采用直接模拟蒙特卡洛(DSMC)方法对高超声速稀薄流中的缝隙绕流问题进行数值模拟；研究了不同的缝隙壁面倾角对流场结构以及壁面参数的影响，为航天器结构设计以及热防护设计提供了数值支持。结果表明：改变倾角会改变流场结构，当倾角减小时，外部流场会更深入缝隙内部，使得缝隙内流场和表面的气动参数增强，且倾角越小，影响的程度越深。同时，倾角减小也会减小缝隙内的旋涡强度，当倾角小于30°时，缝隙内的旋涡区域完全消失。     

Mahalanobis distance-based fading cubature Kalman filter with augmented mechanism for hypersonic vehicle INS/CNS autonomous integration

Inertial Navigation System/Celestial Navigation System(INS/CNS) integration, especially for the tightly-coupled mode, provides a promising autonomous tactics for Hypersonic Vehicle(HV) in military demands.

A novel adaptive lateral reentry guidance algorithm with complex distributed no-fly zones constraints

Aimed at complex distributed no-fly zones avoidance problems, a novel adaptive lateral reentry guidance algorithm is proposed. Firstly, by introducing the improved attractive and repulsive potential fields, an improved artificial potential field method is developed. Combined with the proposed judgment criterion for whether a no-fly zone has been avoided, the proposed improved artificial potential field method effectively solves the reference heading angle determination problem under the constrai...     

A power and thermal management system for long endurance hypersonic vehicle

Due to the pneumatic heating and combustion effect, the scramjet engine of hypersonic vehicle faces high temperature challenge. It is necessary to comprehensively consider its thermal management and power generation together. A new Power and Thermal Management System (PTMS) combined with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO₂) closed Brayton cycle and fuel vapor turbine is proposed and discussed in this paper. The new PTMS can meet the cooling requirement of hypersonic vehicle at Mach number 6–7, and avoid the coking and scrapping in the scramjet cooling channels. Compared with the PTMS only based on fuel vapor turbine, the new PTMS utilizes the waste heat of scramjet to generate more electricity. In addition, it can reduce the use of fuel sink for cooling, and the additional weight penalty can be compensated for long endurance hypersonic flight.     

Oblique detonation wave triggered by a double wedge in hypersonic flow

Pressure-gain combustion has gained attention for airbreathing ramjet engine applications owing to its better thermodynamic efficiency and fuel consumption rate. In contrast with traditional detonation induced by a single wedge, the present study considers oblique shock interactions attached to double wedges in a hypersonic combustible flow. The temperature/pressure increases sharply across the interaction zone that initiates an exothermic reaction, finally resulting in an Oblique Detonation Wav...
