A Supersonic Vehicle Sonic Boom Prediction Method

Abstract

The invention relates to a sonic-boom prediction method of a supersonic aircraft. The method uses a method of combination of CFD numerical-simulation and far-field extrapolation to realize sonic-boomprediction of the supersonic aircraft, and includes the steps of: drawing structural or non-structural grids satisfying requirements, and determining a CFD solver and a solving method; carrying out CFD solving of the supersonic aircraft; extracting near-field static-pressure features of the aircraft; approximately representing the shape of an initial waveform through any number of linear line segments; periodically solving first-order coupled-differential-equations, which describe waveform parameter changes, to obtain information of a waveform of a next moment; and repeating execution until anoverpressure value at a specified height is obtained. According to the method, influences of factors of an aircraft shape, shock waves, expansion waves and the like are systematically simulated, calculation precision is much higher than that of traditional linear methods, and propagation situations of pressure waves in an atmosphere are more realistically simulated at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computational fluid dynamics, in particular to a method for predicting a sonic boom of a supersonic aircraft. Background technique [0002] With the progress and continuous accumulation of various disciplines and technologies such as aerodynamics, electronic systems, materials and manufacturing processes, the conditions and timing for the development of supersonic aircraft have gradually matured. It can be foreseen that in the future civil aviation market, supersonic large passenger aircraft will gradually become the protagonist. This is one of the inevitable directions for human aviation to move towards faster, more economical and environmentally friendly, safer and more comfortable. [0003] A sonic boom is a nonlinear aeroacoustic phenomenon. When an aircraft flies at supersonic speed, its nose, wings, and tail will generate shock waves; on the other hand, due to the change of the shape of the fuselage, there w...

Problems solved by technology

In the long-distance calculation, due to the loss of accuracy and resolution, it will cause large calculation errors in typical flow field parameters and shock waves

[0006] Judging from the current data, the research on the characteristics of sonic boom has become the key technology for the development of a new generation of supersonic aircraft. Foreign countries have done in-depth research in this field, but the domestic research on the characteristics of sonic boom of supersonic aircraft is still in its infancy. Exploration stage, and sonic boom wind tunnel test technology has never been carried out
