Strong interactions of incident shock wave with boundary layer along compression corner

The coherent structure and instability of the interaction of incident shock wave with boundary layer developing on a compression corner are experimentally studied. The experiments are carried out in a supersonic wind tunnel of Mach number 2. Particular attention is paid to shock patterns and unsteady shock motions induced by the separation bubble. The high-speed schlieren is used to visualize the flowfield evolution and to characterize the instability. The snapshot proper orthogonal decomposition of schlieren sequences is applied to investigate the primary coherent structure in the flowfield. Fast Fourier transform and continuous wavelet transformation are applied to characterize the instability. The results show that there are large-scale low-frequency oscillations of the shock waves and small-scale high-frequency pulsations in the separation region. The peak frequency of shock oscillation is mainly concentrated in the range of 100–1000 Hz. The pulsation of the small flow structure in the separation bubble is mainly concentrated above 12.5 kHz. Based on the results of experimental analysis, the preliminary mechanism of the large-scale instability of such interaction is obtained.     

Integrated supersonic wind tunnel nozzle

In supersonic wind tunnels, the airflow at the exit of a convergent-divergent nozzle is affected by the connection between the nozzle and test section, because the connection is a source of disturbance for supersonic flow and the source of disturbance generated by this disturbance propagates downstream. In order to avoid the disturbance, the test can only be carried out in the rhombus area. However, for the supersonic nozzle, the rhombus region is small, limiting the size and attitude angle of the test model. An integrated supersonic nozzle is a nozzle and a test section as a whole, which is designed to weaken or eliminate the disturbance. The inviscid contour of the supersonic nozzle is based on the method of characteristics. A new curve is formed by the smooth connection between the inviscid contour and test section, and the boundary layer is corrected for the overall curve. Integrated supersonic nozzles with Mach number 1.5 and 2 are designed, which are based on this method. The flow field is validated by numerical and experimental results. The results of the study highlight the importance of the connection about the nozzle outlet and test section. They clearly show that the wave system does not exist at the exit of the supersonic nozzle, and the flow field is uniform throughout the test section.     

槽流的亚临界转捩与局地湍流

在中低雷诺数时,处于线性稳定的槽道流若受到强扰动可发生亚临界转捩变为湍流。近年人们对该类转捩机理的研究取得重要进展。对于平板泊肃叶流,亚临界转捩之初是稀疏湍流态,其特征结构是远间隔的包含小尺度涡和高低速条带的大尺度的湍流带,可倾斜伸长。该阶段的湍流占比有上限但并非雷诺数的单值函数。随着雷诺数的增加转捩进入平衡局地湍流态,即存在统计定常态,其湍流占比是雷诺数单值函数,可由定向逾渗模型描述。进一步增加雷诺数,湍流带的分裂愈发频繁,最终流场会布满湍流带,在更高的雷诺数时变为均匀湍流。论文概述了为比拟亚临界转捩过程所提出的动力学模型,以及为定量表征管流、平板库艾特流和平板泊肃叶流转捩过程的相似性所提出的局地稳定性参数,并在最后对槽道流亚临界转捩研究的发展做了简要展望。     

高超声速有攻角锥飞行工况下迎风面波包的演化

飞行工况下由于壁温与来流温度之比较低，Mack模态的不稳定性会得到显著增强，因此Mack模态占主导的有攻角锥迎风面相对侧面可能会提前转捩。本文采用高分辨率直接数值模拟研究了高超声速有攻角锥在飞行工况下迎风面Mack模态的演化规律，Mack模态由迎风中心线附近的一个短时局部壁面吹吸激发。波包的空间分布和不同模态幅值沿流向的演化过程表明在有攻角条件下，Mack模态的演化过程与零度攻角锥边界层中的类似，基频共振是Mack模态最可能的转捩形式。     

Nacelle-airframe integration design method for blended-wing-body transport with podded engines

Strong shock waves and flow separation often occur during the integration of nacelle and airframe for blended-wing-bodies with podded engines. To address this problem, this paper presents an integration method with numerical simulations. The philosophy of channeling flow and avoiding the throat effect on the nacelle and airframe is established based on the analysis of flow interference in the initial configuration. A parametric integration design method is proposed from twodimensional plane to three-dimensional space with control mechanisms and selection principles of the key parameters determined by their influences. Results show that strong shock waves and flow separation can be successfully eliminated under the influence of both the reshaped channel and decelerated inflow below the nacelle. Supersonic regions around the nacelle are effectively reduced, concentrating mainly on the lip position. Thus, a significant cruise drag reduction(8.7%) is achieved though the pressure drag of the nacelle increases.     

Recent advances in physical understanding and quantitative prediction of impinging-jet dynamics and atomization

Impinging-jet injectors are widely used in liquid propulsion applications, since their simple configuration provides reliable and efficient atomization. The flowfield involves a series of complicated spatio-temporal evolutions. Much effort has been directed toward understanding the underlying physics and developing quantitative predictions of impinging-jet atomization. This paper summarizes the recent advances in this direction, including state-of-the-art theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies, along with representative results. Finally, concluding remarks address remaining challenges and highlight modeling capabilities of high-fidelity simulations.     

Numerical investigation of transitions in flow states and variation in aerodynamic forces for flow around square cylinders arranged inline

This study focuses on the transitions in flow states around two-, three- and four-inline square cylinders under the effect of Reynolds numbers at two different gap spacing values using the lattice Boltzmann method. For this purpose, Reynolds number is varied in the range 1–130 while two different values of spacing taken into account are gap spacing?=?2 and 5. Before going to actual problem, the code is tested for flow around a single square cylinder by comparing the results with experimental and numerical results of other researchers, and good agreement is found. The current numerical computations yield that for both spacing values and all combinations of cylinders there exist three different sates of flow depending on Reynolds numbers: steady state, transitional state and unsteady state. It is found that the range of Reynolds numbers for these flow states is different for both spacing values. At gap spacing?=?2 the range of Reynolds numbers for each flow state decreases by increasing the number of cylinders while at gap spacing?=?5 opposite trend is observed. The results also show that at gap spacing?=?2 the reduction in drag force is greater than the corresponding reduction at gap spacing?=?5. The maximum reduction in drag force is observed at Reynolds numbers?=?1 at both spacing values. Similarly, at both spacing values and all Reynolds numbers, the maximum reduction in drag force is observed for the case of four-inline square cylinders.     

基于GPR模型的自适应平方根容积卡尔曼滤波算法

与传统算法一样,动态系统的参数化模型(含噪声统计特性)未知或不够准确易导致容积卡尔曼滤波(CKF)效果严重下降,甚至滤波结果发散.为此,利用高斯过程回归(GPR)方法对训练数据进行学习,得到动态系统的状态转移GPR模型和量测GPR模型以及噪声统计特性,用以替代或增强原有动态系统模型,并将其融入到平方根容积卡尔曼滤波(SRCKF)中,分别提出了无模型高斯过程SRCKF (MFGP-SRCKF)和模型增强高斯过程SRCKF (MEGP-SRCKF)两种算法.仿真结果表明:这两种新的自适应滤波算法提高了动态系统模型精度,且实时自适应调整噪声的协方差,克服了传统算法滤波性能易受系统模型限制的问题;与MFGP-SRCKF相比,在给定一个不够准确的参数化模型,且有限的训练数据未能遍布估计状态空间的情况下,MEGP-SRCKF具备更高的滤波精度.     

基于双吸叶轮两侧非均衡进气研究轮盘凸台尺寸影响

为明确双吸叶轮两侧叶轮之间的径向轮盘凸台尺寸变化对其总体性能及内部流场的影响,探索不同尺寸轮盘结构叶轮的流动损失机理,基于双吸叶轮两侧非均衡进气条件,采用数值方法对五种径向轮盘尺寸双吸叶轮的三维粘性流场进行了模拟研究。研究结果表明:从双吸叶轮最优性能及最高流动稳定性观点出发,均要求两侧叶轮之间的径向轮盘凸台超出叶片尾缘一定范围;具体超出尺寸范围则需要通过对双吸叶轮的压比、效率性能目标进行折衷确定。径向轮盘凸台尺寸的改变明显影响双吸叶轮两侧叶轮的流量分配,进而影响扩压器内分离流动损失大小及双吸叶轮的整体性能。另外,相比于较大径向轮盘凸台,无径向轮盘凸台结构更容易造成双吸叶轮两侧叶轮流量差距悬殊。 
