Transitional wave configurations between Type III and Type IV oblique-shock/bow-shock interactions

The interactions of oblique/bow shock waves are the key flow phenomena restricting the design and aerothermodynamic performance of high-speed vehicles. Type III and Type IV Shock/Shock Interactions(SSIs) have been extensively investigated, as such interactions can induce abnormal aerodynamic heating problems in hypersonic flows of vehicles. The transition process between these two distinct types of shock/shock interactions remains unclear. In the present study, a subclass of shock/shock interaction configuration is revealed and defined as Type IIIa. Type IIIa interaction can induce much more severe aerodynamic heating than a Type IV interaction which was ever reported to be the most serious in literature. The intense aerodynamic heating observed in this configuration highlights a new design point for the thermal protection system of hypersonic vehicles. A secondary Mach interaction between shock waves in the supersonic flow path of a Type III configuration is demonstrated to be the primary mechanism for such a subclass of shock/shock interaction configuration.     

Trailing-edge shock loss control with self-sustaining synthetic jet in a supersonic compressor cascade

To effectively reduce the loss of strong shock wave at the trailing edge of the supersonic cascade under high backpressure, a shock wave control method based on self-sustaining synthetic jet was proposed. The self-sustaining synthetic jet was applied on the pressure side of the blade with the blow slot and the bleed slot arranged upstream and downstream of the trailing-edge shock,respectively. The flow control mechanism and effects of parameters were investigated by numerical simulation. The res...     

Predicting near-wall turbulence with minimal flow units in compressible turbulent channel flows

Mach number effects on the near-wall turbulence in the absence of outer motions remain unclear so far. The present study extends the Minimal Flow Units (MFUs), a widely applied method to investigate near-wall turbulence free from the impact of large-scale motions in the outer region in incompressible channel flows, to compressible wall-bounded turbulence. The compressible near-wall turbulence in MFU proves accurate in replicating near-wall statistics, independent of Mach number and statistically equivalent to the universal signals extracted from the full-sized channel. It is further utilized as universal signals in the predictive models of compressible near-wall turbulence, which is capable of accurately predicting variances and joint probability density functions of velocity and temperature fluctuations.     

Symmetric Mach reflection configuration with asymmetric unsteady solution

Symmetric Mach reflection in steady supersonic flow has been usually studied by solving a half-plane problem with the symmetric line treated as reflecting surface, thus losing the opportunity to discover antisymmetric flow structures. Here in this paper we treat this problem as an entire-plane problem. Using an unsteady numerical approach, we find that the two sliplines exhibit antisymmetric unsteadiness if the Mach stem height is small while the flow remains symmetric if the Mach stem height is large. The mechanism by which disturbance, generated in the downstream of the flow duct between the two sliplines, propagates upstream is identified and it is also shown that the interaction between the transmitted expansion waves and the sliplines increases the amplitude of the unstable modes. The present study suggests a new type of compressible jet that deserves further studies.     

Topology optimization of turbine disk considering maximum stress prediction and constraints

For the stress-constrained topology optimization of a turbine disk under centrifugal loads, the jagged boundaries of the mesh and the gray densities on the solid/void interfaces could make the calculated stress field inconsistent with the actual value. It may result in overestimating the maximum stress and thus affect the effectiveness of stress constraints. This paper proposes a new method for predicting the maximum stress to overcome the difficulty. In the process, a predicted density is newly defined to obtain stable boundaries with thin layers of gray elements, a transition factor is innovatively proposed to evaluate the effects of intermediate-density elements, two different stiffness penalty schemes are flexibly used to calculate the elastic modulus of elements, and a linear stress penalty is further adopted to relax the stress field of the structure. The proposed approach for predicting the maximum stress value is verified by the analysis of a structure with smooth boundaries and the topology optimization of a turbine disk. An updating scheme of the stress constraint in the topology optimization is also developed using the predicted maximum stress. Some key ingredients affecting the optimization results are discussed in detail. The results prove the effectiveness and efficacy of the proposed maximum stress prediction and developed stress constraint methods.

为了降低宽速域飞行器的内流阻力，基于边界层燃烧方法，分析了系列进口马赫数条件下二维扩散段总阻力中摩阻和压阻的特性，研究了不同进口马赫数下摩阻和压阻分量对总减阻的贡献、燃烧影响区域和壁面热流密度，探讨了喷射参数对减阻效果的影响，探索了边界层燃烧方法在典型混压式进气道中的减阻应用。结果表明，随着进口马赫数的增加，总阻力中摩阻分量随之增加；边界层燃烧对摩阻和压阻减阻的机理有所不同，壁面附近流场特性变化使得摩擦系数减小，燃烧局部增压对壁面产生的增推效果使得压力系数减小；从总内阻减阻百分比看，在相同燃料/空气当量比下，低马赫数工况下边界层燃烧减阻效果不如高马赫数工况，且在低马赫数工况下，喷嘴附近壁面热流密度会显著增加；在本文所研究的参数范围内，摩阻和压阻对当量油气比更为敏感，而对喷射方向和喷射速度不敏感。

激光脉冲能量作用下隔离段激波形态及发展控制的数值研究

为了寻求有效的流动控制方法来降低隔离段总压损失，本文基于非定常雷诺平均的Navier-Stokes方程，探究激光脉冲能量沉积对二维及三维隔离段流场马赫反射的控制效果。在来流马赫数分别为1.61和2.51的隔离段流场马赫反射上游，加入脉冲能量沉积，对比激励流场与基础流场，结果表明：能量沉积主要通过高温热核和其诱导的压力波两种方式对马赫反射结构施加作用，显著地影响了马赫反射结构，促使Ma∞ =1.61来流工况下马赫杆的高度减小，马赫反射强度减弱；Ma∞ =2.51来流工况下的马赫反射结构转变为稳定的正规反射，减小了总压损失。控制过程包括：(1)能量沉积产生的局部高温降低当地马赫数，减小马赫反射强度；(2)高温热核诱导的弓形波与马赫反射相互作用，马赫反射结构变形；(3)以反压形式影响马赫反射。
