Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sonic boom ground simulation tests, and specifically to a test system and method for simulating sonic booms based on electric sparks. Background Technique

[0002] As a core bottleneck technology restricting the development of supersonic civil aircraft, sonic boom has become a key factor limiting its market competitiveness. Therefore, if the sonic boom intensity of the next-generation supersonic civil airliner is to be controlled within an acceptable range, breakthroughs need to be made in low sonic boom configuration design technology and sonic boom characteristic suppression technology.

[0003] Existing sonic boom models mainly include traditional physical models and deep learning-based models. Traditional sonic boom models usually rely on physical laws and mathematical equations to simulate sonic boom phenomena. For example, the augmented Burgers equation is used to solve sonic boom problems, and calculations are carried out through methods such as proper orthogonal decomposition, discrete adjoint, and regularized pseudo-parabolic equations; deep learning models can obtain more accurate results through sonic boom inverse design using deep neural networks (DNNs). The specific method is to invert the near-field waveform through a deep neural network and then obtain the aircraft area distribution through Abel inverse transformation.

[0004] At the same time, sonic boom models also have many limitations. Most of the currently adopted models are based on the assumption of a stationary atmosphere, but the real atmospheric environment inevitably contains non-stationary disturbances such as atmospheric turbulence, which often have a great impact on the propagation of sonic boom signals, resulting in a large deviation between the simulation results and the actual situation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a test system and method for simulating sonic booms based on electric sparks to solve the problem that the sonic boom models in the existing technology do not simulate the atmospheric turbulence environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above facts, the present invention designs a test system and method for simulating sonic booms based on electric sparks in order to solve the problem that the sonic boom models in the existing technology do not simulate the atmospheric turbulence environment.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: Solution 1: A test system for simulating sonic booms based on electric sparks, including a turbulence generation system, a hot-wire measurement system, an electric spark sonic boom source system, and a sonic boom wave measurement system; The turbulence generation system includes a jet turbulence agitator, a fan, and a nozzle; The nozzle is installed on the jet turbulence agitator, and the left side of the jet turbulence agitator is connected to the fan through a hose; The hot-wire measurement system includes a hot-wire probe and a hot-wire anemometer; The hot-wire probe is installed on the left side of the hot-wire anemometer. The hot-wire anemometer transmits data to a computer. The hot-wire probe faces the nozzle and maintains a certain distance. The electric spark sonic boom source system includes an electric spark igniter and a parabolic reflector. The parabolic reflector is installed inside the electric spark igniter. The sonic boom wave measurement system includes an optical fiber acoustic probe array, a signal acquisition system, and a computer. The optical fiber acoustic probe array is connected to the signal acquisition system through a cable. The signal acquisition system is connected to the computer through a network cable. The electric spark igniter faces the optical fiber acoustic probe array and maintains a certain distance.

[0007] Solution 2: An experimental method based on simulating sonic booms with electric sparks, which is realized relying on the experimental system of simulating sonic booms with electric sparks described in Solution 1. The operation process is as follows: Step 1: Use the turbulence generation system to simulate different degrees of turbulence intensity, and adjust the flow rate of the fan and the width of the nozzle of the turbulence generation system. Step 2: Use the hot-wire measurement system to measure the turbulence intensity and transmit the data to the computer. Step 3: After determining the turbulence intensity, generate an N-wave signal used to characterize typical sonic boom characteristics with the electric spark sonic boom source system. Step 4: Turn on the turbulence generation system to make the N-wave signal generated by the electric spark sonic boom source system pass through the atmospheric turbulence field, and use the sonic boom wave measurement system to measure the sonic boom wave signal and transmit the data to the computer.

[0008] Furthermore: The fan is driven by a motor to generate flows with different flow rates. The nozzle slides to adjust the opening width. The air flow generated by the fan is blown out from the nozzle through the jet turbulence agitator.

[0009] Furthermore: The hot-wire probe transfers the sensed quantity into the hot-wire anemometer, and a compensation circuit is arranged in the hot-wire anemometer.

[0010] Furthermore: After the electric spark igniter generates a spherical sonic boom wave, it passes through the parabolic reflector, and the waveform is transformed from spherical to planar.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention takes into account the influence of atmospheric turbulence on sonic booms, simulates the propagation of sonic booms in the atmospheric turbulence field, and improves the prediction accuracy of far-field sonic booms.

[0012] 2. The present invention provides a ground simulation platform for the study of the interaction between sonic boom waves and atmospheric turbulence, and provides a pre-test experimental method for the study of the propagation mechanism of sonic boom waves under the influence of atmospheric turbulence.

[0013] 3. The present invention can better understand the behavior of the aircraft under complex airflow conditions, optimize its design and operation parameters, thereby improving its stability and safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Embodiment 2: A test method based on electric spark simulation of sonic boom waves according to this embodiment is realized relying on the test system based on electric spark simulation of sonic boom waves described in Embodiment 1.
