Transition prediction and sensitivity analysis for a natural laminar flow wing glove flight experiment

Natural laminar flow technology can significantly reduce aircraft aerodynamic drag and has excellent technical appeal for transport aircraft development with high aerodynamic efficiency. Accurately and efficiently predicting the laminar-to-turbulent transition and revealing the maintenance mechanism of laminar flow in a transport aircraft’s flight environment are significant for developing natural laminar flow wings. In this research, we carry out natural laminar flow flight experiments with different Reynolds numbers and angles of attack. The critical N-factor is calibrated as 9.0 using flight experimental data and linear stability theory from a statistical perspective, which makes sure that the relative error of transition location is within 5%. We then implement a simplified e^N transition prediction method with a similar accuracy compared with linear stability theory. We compute the sensitivity information for the simplified e^N method with an adjoint-based method, using the automatic differentiation technique (ADjoint). The impact of Reynolds numbers and pressure distributions on TS waves is analyzed using the sensitivity information. Through the sensitivity analysis, we find that: favorable pressure gradients not only suppress the development of TS waves but also decrease their sensitivity to Reynolds numbers; there exist three special regions which are very sensitive to the pressure distribution, and the sensitivity decreases as the local favorable pressure gradient increases. The proposed sensitivity analysis method enables robust natural laminar flow wings design.

以双下侧进气布局的固体火箭冲压发动机为研究对象,以补燃室中燃气与空气的掺混燃烧效率规律为研究目标,将燃气喷管数量、补燃室头部距离、补燃室长径比、空气进气角度、空气进气速度5个因子作为二次燃烧效率的影响因子,基于试验设计方法,建立了5因子2水平的全因子试验表,并以该表为基础对构建出的32种不同掺混结构的固体火箭冲压发动机补燃室的反应流场进行数值模拟。用试验设计中的数据处理方法对计算结果进行分析,获得了5个显著因子及各因子对燃烧效率的影响规律。为了验证分析结果的正确性,从试验设计表中选取5种掺混结构进行了地面连管试验,试验结果与分析结论一致。将试验设计方法应用到固体火箭冲压发动机燃烧性能的研究中,为发动机性能寻优提供了新途径,具有较高的工程应用价值。     

考虑进口非均匀的喷管设计及冷流条件下的性能研究

超燃冲压发动机尾喷管与燃烧室直接相连,由于没有几何喉道和收缩段的整流作用,实际工作过程中尾喷管的进口气流是非均匀的,因而有必要研究非均匀进口条件下的尾喷管设计方法。以超燃冲压发动机尾喷管非均匀进口马赫数分布为条件,采用有旋特征线设计了超燃冲压发动机非对称尾喷管的等熵膨胀型线。利用数值模拟和试验相结合的方法研究了冷流条件下喷管的气动性能。结果表明,在相同的进口条件下,相对于假定进口马赫数均匀分布设计得到的喷管,考虑进口马赫数非均匀分布设计的喷管推力增加0.6%~2.0%,负升力降低可达82.0%,俯仰力矩增加8.6%~13.0%,这说明在喷管的设计过程中考虑进口参数分布的非均匀性是有必要的。

The pGAPS experiment: An engineering balloon flight of prototype GAPS

The General Anti-Particle Spectrometer (GAPS) project is being carried out to search for primary cosmic-ray antiparticles especially for antideuterons produced by cold dark matter. GAPS plans to realize the science observation by Antarctic long duration balloon flights in the late 2010s. In preparation for the Antarctic science flights, an engineering balloon flight using a prototype of the GAPS instrument, “pGAPS”, was successfully carried out in June 2012 in Japan to verify the basic performance of each GAPS subsystem. The outline of the pGAPS flight campaign is briefly reported.     

低负荷和高负荷压气机叶栅气动性能的实验和数值模拟

为了明确采用高负荷设计及一般设计（低负荷）方法的压气机气动性能和流动转捩的差异,进行了不同攻角下的叶栅吸力面流谱绘制和参数测量实验。并基于实验边界条件,采用γ-θ转捩模型开展数值研究。结果表明:与低负荷叶栅相比,随着攻角的增大,高负荷叶栅主流附面层由附着流变为分离流,尾迹的宽度和损失强度增加,并与角区分离融合为一个“带状”损失区。而低负荷叶栅的角区分离仍为紧贴壁面的开式分离,主流附面层仍然附着在壁面上。结果表明:高负荷设计增强了叶栅内逆压力梯度,这使得流动更容易分离,表现为表面形状因子呈现大范围的“峰谷”型分布,转捩模式也由局部旁路转捩变为全叶高范围的分离泡转捩。
