Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the aerospace field, and in particular to a method, system, device, and medium for assessing pressure changes in cryogenic tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the assessment of liquid rocket propellant tank pressurization capacity is achieved through traditional pressurization calculations. This approach uses the rocket's theoretical flight trajectory as input and only considers the impact of the axial overload coefficient on gas heat transfer within the tank during flight. To improve rocket flight performance, cryogenic rockets have begun to employ system-based adjustments to the mixture ratio of remaining propellant within the tank, while simultaneously using iterative guidance technology to enhance orbital accuracy and adaptability. While these two technologies improve rocket flight performance, they also create an additional coupling effect: adjusting the mixture ratio affects changes in engine thrust, which in turn affects the iterative guidance program angle. This process, due to repeated adjustments of the mixture ratio, causes periodic fluctuations in the actual flight program angle. These periodic fluctuations in the rocket body intensify heat transfer between the gas cushion and propellant within the tank, thereby weakening the actual pressurization capacity—an effect that traditional pressurization calculation methods cannot account for. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address one of the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this application provides a method, system, device, and medium for assessing pressure changes in cryogenic storage tanks.

[0026] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a method for assessing pressure changes in cryogenic storage tanks. The method includes:

[0029] S101. Establish a simulation model of the propellant utilization system, and obtain the action state of the engine mixture ratio regulating valve during rocket flight based on the simulation model of the propellant utilization system.

[0030] Specifically, this embodiment first establishes a propellant utilization system simulation model, which can simulate the propellant utilization state during rocket flight, and then obtain the action state of the engine mixture control valve during rocket flight:

[0031]

[0032] S102. Based on the rocket flight iterative guidance scheme, the rocket's flight attitude angles at different times are obtained according to the operating state of the engine mixture ratio regulating valve and the engine mixture ratio conditions.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the guidance specialist, based on the iterative guidance scheme, considers the varying thrust of the engine under different mixture ratios when calculating the iterative flight attitude angles (guidance program angles), and calculates the remaining flight time and corresponding flight attitude angles of the rocket at different times. The engine thrust for different mixture ratios is as follows:

[0034]

[0035] Selecting 3 velocity components and , When the two positional components of the direction are used as terminal constraints, the flight attitude angles of the launch vehicle can be simplified to the following form:

[0036]

[0037] in , To ensure that the rocket reaches the predetermined flight attitude angle formed by the velocity vector at the target point, , To satisfy the flight attitude angles with position constraints, the optimal control problem described above can be solved to obtain the desired values. , , , , , The specific value.

[0038] ( )

[0039] )

[0040] in, , , Apparent velocity increment The three components in the guidance coordinate system. When calculating the apparent velocity increment, the influence of the engine's actual thrust on the mixture ratio adjustment of the system needs to be considered.

[0041] S103. Establish an attitude simulation model, and obtain the engine control yaw angle state based on the attitude simulation model and the flight attitude angle.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment obtains the engine's control angle state through an attitude simulation model and flight attitude angles. In obtaining the engine's control angle state, it is necessary to consider various deviation factors of the rocket during flight, including but not limited to center of mass deviation, engine thrust deviation, thrust line deviation, and separation interference. After obtaining the engine's control angle state, the rocket's center of mass acceleration and attitude angular acceleration at different times can be calculated based on this.

[0043] S104. Establish a three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model based on the control swing angle state of the engine and the parameter information of the rocket's internal pressurization system and outflow device;

[0044] S105. The pressure change process of the cryogenic tank is evaluated based on the three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model to obtain the evaluation results.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, after obtaining the engine's control angle state, a three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model is established based on this control angle state and the parameter information of the rocket's internal pressurization system and outflow device. This three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model integrates multiple aspects such as cryogenic tank motion, propellant sloshing, and gas-liquid heat exchange. Considering the energy changes in the cryogenic tank's air cushions, the model further considers the lateral overload caused by the periodic changes in the rocket's flight attitude angle, and conducts an assessment process for the cryogenic tank pressure changes.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, during the assessment of cryogenic tank pressure changes, the main factors affecting the pressurization capacity of the cryogenic tank include: the energy of the gas entering the cryogenic tank through the pressurization system (pressurization gas flow rate and temperature), heat exchange between the gas and the structure, the sloshing of the propellant at the gas-liquid interface caused by external load excitation (center of mass acceleration and attitude angular acceleration), which intensifies the heat exchange between the gas and liquid, and the expansion work done for propellant outflow (propellant outflow flow rate). Therefore, in this embodiment, during the assessment of the cryogenic tank pressure change process using a three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model, the motion state of the propellant at the gas-liquid interface within the cryogenic tank can be obtained first based on the aforementioned center of mass acceleration and attitude angular acceleration. Then, the heat exchange state within the cryogenic tank can be obtained based on the motion state of the propellant at the gas-liquid interface. Finally, the assessment result is obtained by evaluating the cryogenic tank pressure change using a three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model based on the energy of the gas entering the cryogenic tank through the pressurization system, the heat exchange state within the cryogenic tank, and the outflow flow rate of the outflow device. Figure 3The figure shows the pressure change curve of the cryogenic tank during the actual flight of the rocket and the pressure change curve of the cryogenic tank obtained by the method proposed in this embodiment. It can be seen that the pressure change curve obtained by the method proposed in this embodiment is relatively consistent with the pressure change curve during the actual flight.

[0047] The cryogenic tank pressure change assessment method provided in this embodiment first obtains the operating state of the engine mixture control valve through a propellant system simulation model. Then, based on the engine mixture conditions, it obtains the rocket's flight attitude angles at different times. Next, it uses an attitude simulation model to obtain the engine's control angle state based on the flight attitude angles. Finally, it establishes a three-dimensional fluid motion analysis model and uses this model to assess the cryogenic tank pressure change process. This process fully considers the periodic fluctuations in the rocket's flight attitude angles under different mixture conditions during actual flight, thereby improving the accuracy of assessing cryogenic tank pressure changes during cryogenic rocket flight.
