壁温对压缩拐角流动影响的数值模拟研究

压缩拐角是高超声速飞行器上的典型非连续区域,其分离/再附结构对局部热环境有较大影响。本文采用基于Navier-Stokes方程的自研程序,开展了典型压缩拐角外形的气动热环境数值模拟研究,分析了不同壁温条件下压缩拐角的热环境分布规律。计算结果表明:随着壁温升高,流场整体结构变化不大,但由于近壁面流体物性参数变化较大,导致拐角分离涡分离点向前移动、再附点向后移动,拐角处干扰区扩大;压缩拐角大部分区域的热流随着壁温的升高而减小,且干扰区内热流减小的幅度比无干扰区更大,但热流并不完全遵循随壁温升高而减小的规律。另外,通过对比变壁温计算热流和热壁修正公式修正热流,发现热壁修正公式在干扰区存在精度降低、适用性不足的问题。本文的研究进一步加深了壁温对压缩拐角流动影响的认识,缩小了热壁修正公式的适用范围。     

S型收缩流道对涡轮通流能力影响的研究

为进一步提高航空发动机涡轮通流能力，以小型跨声速涡轮为原型，研究了静子S型收缩流道对涡轮通流能力的影响。将S型流道直线段长度和收缩段内外圆半径比作为流道造型参数，分别针对原型涡轮静子内外端壁进行调整造型，得到一系列不同参数组合的S型内外端壁涡轮算例。保持膨胀比为设计值不变，利用CFD软件对原型和S型流道涡轮进行设计点模拟分析。结果表明，S型流道涡轮流量提升的原理在于增大的静子喉道面积。在相同造型参数下，S型外端壁涡轮的静子叶根损失被有效降低，流量提升明显，且流量高于S型内端壁涡轮1%左右，但由于最大外径增大使其质量通量提升效果减弱；与之相反，S型内端壁涡轮的质量通量提升明显，且高于S型外端壁涡轮3%左右。从提升涡轮质量通量并保证效率不低于原型的角度看，S型外端壁造型参数选取范围更广。

Influence of lunar regolith compressibility on sampling performance of thick wall spiral drills

A 2 m class robotic drill was sent to the Moon and successfully collected and returned regolith samples in late 2020 by China. It was a typical thick wall spiral drill (TWSD) with a hollow auger containing a complex coring system to retain subsurface regolith samples. Before the robotic drill was launched, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to investigate and predict the possible drilling loads it may encounter in the lunar environment. This work presents how the sampling performance of the TWSD is affected by the regolith compressibility. Experiments and analysis during the drilling and sampling process in a simulated lunar regolith environment were conducted. The compressibility of a typical lunar regolith simulant (LRS) was measured through uni-directional compression tests to study the relationship between its inner regolith stress and bulk density. A theoretical model was established to elucidate the cutting discharge behavior by auger flights based on the aforementioned relationship. Experiments were conducted with the LRS, and the results show that the sampling performance is greatly affected by the flux of the drilled cuttings into the spiral flight channels. This work helped in scheduling reasonable drilling parameters to promote the sampling performance of the robotic drill in the Chinese Chang'E 5 mission.

Improving performance of macro electrolyte jet machining of TC4 titanium alloy: Experimental and numerical studies

Electrolyte jet machining (EJM) is a promising method for shaping titanium alloys due to its lack of tool wear, thermal and residual stress, and cracks and burrs. Recently, macro-EJM has attracted increasing attention for its high efficiency in machining wide grooves or planes. However, macro-EJM generates large amounts of electrolytic products, thereby increasing the difficulty of rapid product removal with a standard tool and reducing the surface quality. Therefore, for enhanced product transport, a novel tool with a back inclined end face was proposed for macro-EJM of TC4 titanium alloy. For comparison, also proposed were ones with a standard flat end face, a front inclined end face, and both front and back inclined end faces. The flow field distributions of all proposed tools were simulated numerically, and experiments were also conducted to validate the simulation results. The results show that one with a 5° back inclined end face can decrease the low-velocity flow zone in the machining area and increase the high-velocity flow zone at the back end of tool, thereby promoting rapid product removal. A relatively smooth bright-white groove surface was obtained. The same tool also resulted in the highest machining depth and material removal rate among the tested ones. In addition, rapid product removal was beneficial to the subsequent processing. Because of its rapid product removal, the machining depth and material removal rate during deep groove machining using the tool with a 5° back inclined end face were respectively 7% and 14% higher than those produced using a standard one. Moreover, the lowest bottom height difference of 0.027 mm can be obtained when the step-over value was 8.2 mm, and a plane with a depth of 0.285 mm and a bottom height difference of 0.03 mm was fabricated using the tool with a 5° back inclined end face.
