Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aerodynamics in the aerospace industry, and in particular relates to a method for accurately simulating changes in oxygen content in a low-temperature PSP over a wide temperature range. Background Art

[0002] Measuring model surface pressure has always been a crucial topic in aircraft wind tunnel testing. Measuring model surface pressure distribution in low-temperature, high-Reynolds-number wind tunnels is a crucial tool for studying the influence of Reynolds number on the aerodynamic characteristics of advanced aircraft. By measuring surface pressure distribution, we can determine the aerodynamic loads on the aircraft surface, the separation zone of the flow field, shock waves, and the boundary layer transition location under different test Reynolds numbers, and observe the aerodynamic interference between aircraft components. Furthermore, surface pressure distribution measurement is an important tool for validating numerical calculation methods used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

[0003] Since the late 1990s, domestic PSP (Pressure Sensitive Paint) pressure sensitive paint measurement technology has undergone years of basic research and technological accumulation. The China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center, China Aerospace Aerodynamics Research Institute, China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other institutions have mastered key technologies such as room temperature pressure sensitive coating development, static calibration, and image processing. They have successfully applied room temperature PSP measurement technology to engineering application fields such as surface pressure measurement of large-scale low-, cross-, super-, and hypersonic industrial wind tunnel aircraft models, and rotor surface pressure measurement, which has effectively promoted the level of refined design of my country's advanced aircraft and the development of aerodynamics.

[0004] However, unlike conventional wind tunnels, the inlet flow of low-temperature wind tunnels is nitrogen, and the operating temperature is low with a large temperature difference (110-323K). Therefore, a small amount of oxygen (oxygen content less than 3000ppm) needs to be injected into the wind tunnel circuit. The application of room-temperature PSP in low-temperature wind tunnels will encounter many technical difficulties, such as low oxygen content, low oxygen permeability, poor pressure-sensitive properties of coatings in deep-cold environments, and easy cracking. According to publicly published literature, domestic research on low-temperature pressure-sensitive coating measurement technology is still in its infancy. It is urgent to establish a precise simulation method for the wide-temperature range oxygen content change of low-temperature PSP, and to solve the development of pressure-sensitive coatings in low-temperature and low-oxygen environments as soon as possible, as well as the research on the characteristics of low-temperature pressure-sensitive coatings and their influencing factors.

[0015] Step s3) when a set of nitrogen pressure target values ​​P are traversed at the specified target temperature, go to step s2); otherwise, read each nitrogen pressure target value in turn, and control the pressure measurement and control system so that the calibration container reaches the specified nitrogen pressure target value;

[0016] Step s4) When a set of oxygen content change target values ​​O are traversed under the specified nitrogen pressure target value, go to step s3); otherwise, read the oxygen content target values ​​one by one in sequence, and control the oxygen content measurement and control system using a monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing control method so that the calibration container reaches the specified oxygen content target value;

[0052] The present invention provides a method for accurately simulating the change of oxygen content in low-temperature PSP over a wide temperature range. Figure 1 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0053] A set of target temperatures (-163°C to 50°C) and oxygen content variations (100ppm to 3000ppm) are set. A low-temperature PSP calibration container provides a temperature- and oxygen-controllable environment for the low-temperature PSP paint calibration samples. The container is connected to a chiller, an ultrapure nitrogen cylinder, and an ultrapure oxygen cylinder. A single compressor provides refrigerant, which flows through the refrigerant channel of a temperature-controlled copper block. The cooling capacity provided by the compressor is equal to the heating capacity provided by the heater, achieving temperature stability and high-precision temperature control over a wide temperature range of ±0.1K. Once the temperature stabilizes, a monotonic incremental control method is used to precisely control the ultra-low oxygen content range from 100ppm to 3000ppm. To increase the oxygen content, a fast-acting solenoid valve gradually introduces oxygen into the calibration container. As the target concentration approaches, the valve gradually reduces the gas flow until the target concentration is reached, at which point the flow is stopped. To reduce the oxygen content, the calibration container is evacuated to slightly reduce the pressure, and then nitrogen is added to restore the original pressure. Each pumping and filling operation, while maintaining stable pressure, slightly reduces the oxygen content. Repeating this process allows the oxygen content to precisely drop to the set value, achieving high-precision control of ultra-low oxygen levels. Simulating all target temperatures and oxygen levels, capturing corresponding paint luminescence images, and evaluating paint properties based on low-temperature PSP images at different temperatures and oxygen levels.

[0054] Based on a highly efficient and precise control strategy for multiple temperature, pressure, and oxygen content states, this invention can achieve ultra-low temperature control down to 110K with a control accuracy of less than ±0.1K. Through a monotonic control method, the ultra-low oxygen content of the calibration container can be precisely controlled with a control error of less than ±10ppm, thus achieving precise simulation.

[0055] This method uses a low-temperature pressure-sensitive paint static calibration and coating property research experimental device, which is based on a light source and a camera and includes: a calibration container, a pressure measurement and control system, an oxygen content measurement and control system, a temperature measurement and control system, and a control module deployed on a host computer; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the external structure of the experimental device for static calibration of low-temperature pressure-sensitive paint and coating properties research.

[0056] The calibration container is used to provide an environment with controllable temperature, pressure and oxygen concentration for the calibration sample coated with low-temperature pressure-sensitive paint. An external light source is irradiated onto the calibration sample coated with pressure-sensitive paint through a window at the top of the calibration container, and the calibration sample is photographed by a camera to obtain the coating properties.

[0057] The pressure measurement and control system is used to provide a pressure-controllable and measurable nitrogen source for the calibration sample under the control of the control module; the principle is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0058] The oxygen content measurement and control system is used to provide a controllable and measurable ultra-low oxygen content oxygen source for the calibration sample under the control of the control module under the premise of meeting pressure control. The ultra-low oxygen content is 100ppm to 3000ppm; the principle is as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0059] The temperature measurement and control system is used to provide controllable and measurable cooling and heating capacity for the calibration sample under the control of the control module, thereby achieving temperature control. The principle is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0060] The control module is used to control the operating sequence of the pressure measurement and control system, the oxygen content measurement and control system, and the temperature measurement and control system, and is used to control them separately according to the pressure value, oxygen content, and temperature value of the calibration container in combination with the experimental target value; it is also used to trigger the light source and camera to work when the experimental target value is reached, and to collect experimental images of the corresponding state, thereby realizing static calibration of low-temperature pressure-sensitive paint and research on coating properties;

[0061] Methods include:

[0062] Step s1) The control module reads a set of preset target temperatures T, a set of nitrogen pressure target values ​​P, and a set of oxygen content change target values ​​O; wherein the oxygen content change target values ​​satisfy the range of 100 ppm to 3000 ppm;

[0063] Step s2) When a set of target temperatures T has been traversed, go to step s6), otherwise, read each target temperature in turn, and control the temperature measurement and control system so that the calibration container reaches the specified target temperature;

[0064] Step s3) when a set of nitrogen pressure target values ​​P are traversed at the specified target temperature, go to step s2); otherwise, read each nitrogen pressure target value in turn, and control the pressure measurement and control system so that the calibration container reaches the specified nitrogen pressure target value;

[0065] Step s4) When a set of oxygen content change target values ​​O are traversed under the specified nitrogen pressure target value, go to step s3); otherwise, read the oxygen content target values ​​one by one in sequence, and control the oxygen content measurement and control system using a monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing control method so that the calibration container reaches the specified oxygen content target value;

[0066] Step s5) triggering the light source and camera to work by the control module to obtain an experimental image of the calibration sample coated with the pressure-sensitive paint at the specified target temperature, nitrogen pressure target value, and oxygen content target value, and then going to step s4);

[0067] Step s6) Summarize the experimental images and analyze the low-temperature PSP coating characteristics.

[0068] Specifically, a single compressor refrigeration is used to achieve high-precision temperature regulation in a wide temperature range of -163℃ to 50℃, and precise control of ultra-low oxygen content values ​​of 100ppm-3000ppm is achieved through monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing control methods, thereby providing a precise simulation platform for wide-temperature range oxygen content changes for the development of low-temperature PSP coatings and research on coating properties.

[0069] The present invention provides a method for accurately simulating the change of oxygen content in a low-temperature PSP over a wide temperature range, comprising the following steps:

[0070] Set a set of target temperature (-163℃~50℃) and oxygen content change (100ppm-3000ppm) target values;

[0071] Provide a temperature and oxygen concentration controlled environment for the low-temperature PSP paint calibration samples through a low-temperature PSP calibration container, which is connected to a chiller, ultra-pure nitrogen cylinder, and ultra-pure oxygen cylinder;

[0072] A single compressor is used to provide refrigerant. The low-temperature refrigerant flows through the refrigerant channel of the temperature-controlled copper block. The cooling capacity provided is equal to the heating capacity of the heater, achieving temperature stability and realizing high-precision temperature control in a wide temperature range of ±0.1K. The temperature-controlled copper block is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0073] After the temperature stabilizes, a monotonic incremental control method is used to precisely control ultra-low oxygen levels ranging from 100ppm to 3000ppm. To increase the oxygen content, a rapid on-off solenoid valve gradually introduces oxygen into the calibration container. As the target concentration approaches, the valve gradually reduces the flow until the target concentration is reached, at which point the flow ceases. To decrease the oxygen content, the calibration container is evacuated to slightly reduce the pressure, and then nitrogen is added to restore the original pressure. Each pump-and-fill operation slightly reduces the oxygen content while maintaining stable pressure. Repeated operation allows the oxygen content to accurately drop to the set value, achieving highly precise control of ultra-low oxygen levels.

[0074] Simulate all target temperatures and target oxygen contents, collect corresponding coating luminescence images, and evaluate coating properties based on low-temperature PSP images under different temperature and oxygen content conditions.

[0075] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0076] Example

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for accurately simulating the change of oxygen content in a low-temperature PSP over a wide temperature range. The specific steps are as follows:

[0078] S101: Set a set of target temperature (-163℃~50℃) and oxygen content change (100ppm-3000ppm) target values. The target temperatures are: -163℃, -100℃, -50℃, 0℃, 50℃; the target oxygen contents are 100ppm, 500ppm, 1000ppm, 2000ppm, 3000ppm.

[0079] S102: Providing a temperature- and oxygen-concentration-controlled environment for the low-temperature PSP paint calibration sample through a low-temperature PSP calibration container, and connecting the calibration container to a chiller, an ultrapure nitrogen cylinder, and an ultrapure oxygen cylinder.

[0080] The calibration container is a 304 stainless steel cylinder that can withstand both negative and positive vacuum pressures. The calibrated container's opening is determined by the size of the camera and light source. To accommodate different cameras and light sources, a viewing window area of ​​Φ150mm is used. The calibration container measures Φ180×150mm, with a smooth surface, a wall thickness of 3mm, and a flange thickness of 10mm. The calibration container weighs less than 20kg and can be moved by a single person. The exterior of the calibration container is insulated with a 50mm layer. The top of the calibration container is a viewing window made of 15mm thick high-strength quartz glass with a K9 light transmittance. The viewing window is pressed against the flange and the calibration container, and a silicone rubber ring is used for sealing.

[0081] After the calibration container is installed, it is connected to the chiller, ultra-pure nitrogen cylinder, ultra-pure oxygen cylinder and other equipment.

[0082] S103: A single compressor is used to provide refrigerant. The low-temperature refrigerant flows through the refrigerant channel of the temperature-controlled copper block. The cooling capacity provided is equal to the heating capacity of the heater, achieving a stable temperature of -163°C and realizing high-precision temperature control of ±0.1K.

[0083] The low-temperature refrigerant generated by a single-compressor refrigeration unit enters a temperature-controlled copper block, cools the block, and then returns to the refrigeration unit. The surface temperature of the copper block must be uniform, with a temperature gradient of less than 1K and a temperature control accuracy of less than 0.1K. The temperature-controlled copper block consists of an upper and lower section, each with four semicircular slots. The upper and lower sections are clamped together by screws to hold four copper tubes. Low-temperature refrigerant flows through the tubes, cooling the block. A heater is installed beneath the block, achieving precise temperature control by balancing cooling and heating. Heat from the heater and cooling from the refrigerant are uniformly transferred to the block through the surfaces of the four copper tubes. The surface area of ​​the four refrigerant channels accounts for more than half of the block's cross-sectional area, ensuring uniform heat transfer across the upper section. The solid portion of the upper copper block is 9 mm thick, with an RRR greater than 80 and a thermal conductivity of approximately 350 W / m·K. This high thermal conductivity ensures high temperature consistency throughout the block.

[0084] Temperature stability is achieved through dual PID control of the heater and refrigerant flow. Heater PID control uses a solid-state relay to input a voltage with a specific on / off time ratio determined by PID parameters to the heater, thereby controlling the heating output. Refrigerant flow PID control uses a PLC to control the on / off time ratio of the solenoid valve in the refrigerant flow path, regulating the refrigerant flow through the copper block and thus controlling the cooling capacity. The solenoid valve uses a fast on / off solenoid valve with a short on / off time (less than 2 seconds), a long life (millions of cycles), and low power consumption (a few watts).

[0085] S104: After the temperature stabilizes at -163°C, a series of ultra-low oxygen content values ​​of 100ppm, 500ppm, 1000ppm, 2000ppm, and 3000ppm are precisely controlled in sequence through monotonically increasing control. After each oxygen content stabilizes, a trigger signal is sent to trigger the camera to capture the luminescent image of the coating under the corresponding temperature and oxygen content conditions.

[0086] In the entire oxygen concentration measurement and control system, a high-purity oxygen cylinder and a pressure reducing valve form a stable, high-purity oxygen source. A needle-tip valve, acting as a small, adjustable flow channel, works in conjunction with a solenoid valve with fast on-off capability (cycle time less than 2 seconds) to control oxygen concentration. When oxygen concentration needs to be increased, the fast-on / off solenoid valve gradually introduces oxygen into the calibration container while simultaneously monitoring the oxygen content. As the target concentration approaches, the fast-on / off solenoid valve gradually reduces the gas flow until the target concentration is reached, at which point the flow ceases.

[0087] S105: Repeat S104 and S105 to simulate the target temperatures of -100°C, -50°C, 0°C, and 50°C and the target oxygen content, collect the corresponding coating luminescence images, and evaluate the coating properties based on the low-temperature PSP images under different temperature and oxygen content conditions.

[0088] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and are intended to be encompassed by the claims of the present invention.
