[0034] A method for analyzing the matching of a non-adjustable air inlet and an aircraft engine flow characteristic, comprising:

[0035] Under the constraint of non-adjustable inlet duct, draw the upper limit curve and lower limit curve of the inlet flow rate W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine is working stably;

[0036] Draw the flow characteristic curve of the inlet flow W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 under the control law for various types of aircraft engines;

[0038] If the flow characteristic curve corresponding to a certain type of aircraft engine is within the range of the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve, it is determined that the non-adjustable inlet duct matches the flow characteristic of the aircraft engine of this type.

[0039] As for the method for analyzing the matching of the non-adjustable air inlet and the flow characteristics of an aircraft engine disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the design thereof draws the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve of the inlet flow W1r varying with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine is working stably under the constraint of the non-adjustable air inlet, and draws the flow characteristic curve of the inlet flow W1r varying with the inlet temperature T1 of each type of aircraft engine under the control law. By judging whether the flow characteristic curve corresponding to a certain type of aircraft engine exceeds the range of the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve, it is determined whether the flow characteristics of the non-adjustable air inlet match that type of aircraft engine. The method is fast and effective. When different types of aircraft engines are replaced during flight, the method is used to perform matching analysis on the flow characteristics of the air inlet and the flow characteristics of the replaced type of aircraft engines. A large number of frequent tests are no longer required. The method has high efficiency and can effectively shorten the working cycle.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned non-adjustable inlet duct and aircraft engine flow characteristic matching analysis method, under the constraint of the non-adjustable inlet duct, the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve of the inlet flow W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine is working stably are drawn, specifically:

[0041] Under the constraint of non-adjustable inlet duct, experiments were conducted with different types of aircraft engines to obtain the upper and lower limit curves of the inlet flow rate W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine is working stably, and the curves were plotted.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned non-adjustable inlet duct and aircraft engine flow characteristic matching analysis method, under the constraint of the non-adjustable inlet duct, the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve of the inlet flow W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine is working stably are drawn, specifically:

[0043] Under the constraint of a non-adjustable inlet duct, the flow characteristic curve of a certain type of engine that can work stably under the control law, in which the inlet flow rate W1r changes with the inlet temperature T1, is used as a benchmark. The flow characteristics are changed to conduct experiments, and the upper and lower limit curves of the inlet flow rate W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine works stably are obtained and plotted.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned non-adjustable air inlet and aircraft engine flow characteristic matching analysis method, under the constraint of the non-adjustable air inlet, the upper limit curve and lower limit curve of the inlet flow W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 when the aircraft engine is working stably are drawn, and this is carried out under the full-speed flight altitude conditions of the aircraft engine.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned non-adjustable inlet and aircraft engine flow characteristic matching analysis method, the full-speed flight altitude of the aircraft engine is obtained from the aircraft engine operating envelope. The operating envelope of a certain type of aircraft engine is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, its full-speed flight altitude is 10km-11km.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, under the constraint of the non-adjustable inlet duct, the aircraft engine works stably, and the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve of the inlet flow rate W1r changing with the inlet temperature T1 are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it can be concluded that with the increase of the inlet temperature T1, the range between the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve gradually narrows. When the inlet temperature T1 corresponds to the aircraft engine flight speed of 1.5Ma, the range of change of the upper limit curve and the lower limit curve is 8%.
