Numerical study of a trapezoidal bypass dual throat nozzle

Bypass Dual Throat Nozzle (BDTN) is a novel type of fluidic thrust vectoring nozzle. To improve the infrared stealth performance of BDTN, a nozzle based on BDTN is proposed and numerically simulated. Each cross-section along the x-axis of the novel nozzle becomes a trapezoid, which is named “BDTN-TRA.” The main numerical simulation results show that BDTN-TRA can produce a thrust vectoring angle when the upper or lower bypass valve is open. The angle difference between the two conditions mentioned above is usually approximately 1°–2°. Even if the two bypasses are closed, BDTN-TRA can produce a small thrust vectoring angle at around 3°–5°. When the sidewall angle increases from 60° to 90°, the thrust coefficient and thrust vectoring angle under each work condition usually decrease. A larger aspect ratio indicates better performance. As the aspect ratio increases over 7.2, the performance of BDTN-TRA is quite close to that of BDTN with rectangular cross-sections at the same aspect ratio. These features will benefit the control and trimming for future aircraft design, especially for the flying wing layout aircraft. Last but not least, BDTN-TRA has a more extraordinary mixing performance compared with BDTN. The distributions of static temperature and axial velocity along the x-axis of BDTN-TRA with sidewall angle of 60° decrease faster than those of BDTN. When the total temperature of the inlet equals 1600 K, the static temperature difference between BDTN-TRA with sidewall angles of 60° and 90° is over 360 K at twice the length of the nozzle downstream of the nozzle exit, which is the reflection for excellent infrared stealth for the fighter.

喷注方案对圆形超燃冲压发动机性能的影响研究

在飞行马赫数Ma=6，总当量比为1.0条件下，采用三维数值模拟研究了不同喷注位置煤油当量比分布对双凹腔圆形发动机推力性能和壁面热流的影响。喷注位置包括支板壁面喷注K1，隔离段出口壁面喷注K2，第一凹腔尾缘壁面喷注K3以及第一扩张段壁面喷注K4。结果表明，K1注油当量比大小直接影响燃烧室内的燃烧模态和流道中心燃烧。为了保证发动机推力性能，K1注油须达到一定量，促使流道燃烧处于亚燃模态，且流道内具有较强的中心燃烧。为优化发动机壁面热流环境，剩余燃料需要在K2，K3和K4分散注入。K2和K3注油当量比大小同时影响第一凹腔燃烧性能，其中K2注油当量比降低，推力性能下降，但壁面热流性能提高，而适当增加K3喷注煤油，有利于提高推力性能。增加K4注油，第二凹腔及其之后流道区域燃烧增强，发动机推力性能和热流性能均提高。通过分析各注油位不同当量比分布对发动机力热性能的影响规律，最终获得了力热性能较优的注油当量比分配方案，此时K1～K4注油当量比大小依次为0.6，0.1，0.1，0.2。     

Feasibility analysis of solar thermal propulsion system with thermal energy storage

Possessing relatively high specific impulse and moderate thrust levels, solar thermal propulsion (STP) is a promising candidate in spacecraft propulsion system. However, the traditional solar thermal propulsion system suffers from thrust failure in the shadow area, which seriously affects its applicability. In this paper, we investigate feasibility of regenerative solar thermal propulsion system (RSTP) incorporating thermal energy storage, which can effectively overcome unmatched synchronous working time and illumination time. A numerical model for RSTP considering the whole energy transfer process from light concentrating, heat storage, to thrust generation is built, which is verified by experiment measurements with relative errors less than 15 %. The result shows that the maximum time to complete heat storage is about 4000 s, which is within the illumination time for low Earth orbit. In the solar eclipse region, the thrust (F_t) and the specific impulse (I_sp) of the system increase with the propellant flow rate, which can reach about 2 N and 690 s, respectively. What’s more, the system can operate for around 100 s continuously at the maximum thrust in the shadow area. This work provides alternative approaches for microsatellite propulsion with high specific impulse, high thrust, and continuous operation despite presence of solar eclipse.
