液体火箭发动机音叉式涡轮叶盘振动特性研究 (液体火箭推进专刊)

某液体火箭发动机采用整体叶盘音叉式涡轮转子，该转子盘-轴根部圆角试车考核中曾多次出现裂纹故障。为推断裂纹产生原因，通过数值计算及模态实验获取了该转子受力状态、振型、阻尼比等结构振动特性。结合振动信号分析，将裂纹故障原因聚焦到叶盘的二节径型振动。通过高频速变压力测量，得到涡轮流场内压力脉动数据，间接获取了该转子工作状态下的振动特性。试验表明被测涡轮转子流场通道内，分频幅值最大压力脉动对应涡轮转子2节径前行波振动，幅值约为11KPa。分析确定涡轮叶盘二节径振动是故障产生的主要原因。

Modeling gravity effects on water retention and gas transport characteristics in plant growth substrates

Growing plants to facilitate life in outer space, for example on the International Space Station (ISS) or at planned deep-space human outposts on the Moon or Mars, has received much attention with regard to NASA’s advanced life support system research. With the objective of in situ resource utilization to conserve energy and to limit transport costs, native materials mined on Moon or Mars are of primary interest for plant growth media in a future outpost, while terrestrial porous substrates with optimal growth media characteristics will be useful for onboard plant growth during space missions. Due to limited experimental opportunities and prohibitive costs, liquid and gas behavior in porous substrates under reduced gravity conditions has been less studied and hence remains poorly understood. Based on ground-based measurements, this study examined water retention, oxygen diffusivity and air permeability characteristics of six plant growth substrates for potential applications in space, including two terrestrial analogs for lunar and Martian soils and four particulate substrates widely used in reduced gravity experiments. To simulate reduced gravity water characteristics, the predictions for ground-based measurements (1 − g) were scaled to two reduced gravity conditions, Martian gravity (0.38 − g) and lunar gravity (0.16 − g), following the observations in previous reduced gravity studies. We described the observed gas diffusivity with a recently developed model combined with a new approach that estimates the gas percolation threshold based on the pore size distribution. The model successfully captured measured data for all investigated media and demonstrated the implications of the poorly-understood shift in gas percolation threshold with improved gas percolation in reduced gravity. Finally, using a substrate-structure parameter related to the gaseous phase, we adequately described the air permeability under reduced gravity conditions.     

A review of numerical analyses and experimental characterization methods for forming of textile reinforcements

The forming of textile reinforcements is an important stage in the manufacturing of textile composite parts with Liquid Composite Molding process. Fiber orientations and part geometry obtained from this stage have significant impact on the subsequent resin injection and final mechanical properties of composite part. Numerical simulation of textile reinforcement forming is in strong demand as it can greatly reduce the time and cost in the determination of the optimized processing parameters, which is the foundation of the low-cost application of composite materials. This review presents the state of the art of forming modeling methods for textile reinforcement and the corresponding experimental characterization methods developed in this field. The microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic models are discussed. Studies concerning the simulation of wrinkling are also presented since it is the most common defect occurred in the textile reinforcement forming. Finally, challenges and recommendations on the future research directions for textile reinforcement modeling and experimental characterization are provided.

Periodic atomization characteristics of simplex swirl injector induced by klystron effect

The atomization dynamic characteristics of a simplex swirl injector was investigated experimentally by using a hydrodynamic mechanical pulsator and the shadow photography technique. The frequency response characteristics of the fluid film and atomization fluctuations and their correlations with pressure fluctuations were obtained by using an in-house code of image processing. It is demonstrated that the klystron effect induced by periodic pressure fluctuations results in periodic liquid film fluctuation with large amplitudes, periodic superposition of droplets and reduction of the breakup length. It was found that the atomization of the simplex swirl injector only responds to the pressure fluctuation in frequency range approximately from 0 to 300 Hz, and it is particularly sensitive to pressure fluctuations at frequencies from 100 to 200 Hz. According to this experiment, the responsive frequency limitation is merely affected by injector configuration, rather than the supply line.     

空间发动机真空起动点火时差及其实现方法

液体火箭发动机在真空中起动时，燃烧室内易产生三相共存的状态，其中凝聚相能引起不正常的起动压力峰而损坏发动机。本文研究了甲基肼和四氧化二氮组合为推进剂时真空起动的点火时差，以便尽量减少着火前上述状态的存在程度。给出了利用控制阀通电时差、充填时差和控制阀响应时差这三种起动方式来实现该点火时差的方法。前两种方法已在某远地点发动机上使用并获得成功。     

船舶燃气轮机进气系统中过滤装置数值模型化处理方法研究

为了研究船舶燃气轮机进气系统中,过滤装置数值模型化处理方法的模拟精度及其适用性。针对一种双通道船舶燃气轮机进气系统,分别采用Fan边界和多孔介质模型方法对过滤装置（百叶窗、滤清器）的复杂结构进行处理,开展进气系统内流场特性的详细数值计算研究。结果表明：进气系统大部分总压损失源于燃烧空气滤清器产生的总压损失和竖井中的流动损失;与Fan边界相比,多孔介质模型方法能够获得更贴合实际的进气系统流场,对系统总压损失的预测更具可靠性;两种方法计算出的进气系统流动损失相差不超过10%;使用Fan边界需保证过滤装置不产生明显的整流作用,且压力损失实验数据完备,而选用多孔介质模型需要已知过滤装置阻力系数、孔隙率等物理参数。
