Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a transition prediction method, in particular to a three-dimensional supersonic boundary layer transition prediction method based on a neural network model, and belongs to the technical field of transition prediction. Background Art

[0002] Transition is a flow phenomenon that characterizes the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow. The transition problem is a widely concerned problem in the field of fluid mechanics and is also one of the unsolved problems. With the development of the aerospace industry, the research and development of supersonic aircraft is particularly crucial. In the supersonic flight state, the frictional drag on the aircraft can contribute up to 50% to the total drag, and the magnitude of the frictional drag is closely related to the flow state of the boundary layer. The frictional drag of the turbulent boundary layer is much greater than that of the laminar boundary layer. Therefore, for accurately calculating the drag of the aircraft, the prediction of the transition position is an important factor. In addition, the heat conduction capabilities of the laminar boundary layer and the turbulent boundary layer are also significantly different, and the prediction of the transition position is also important for thermal protection design.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used numerical simulation techniques for supersonic transition mainly include direct numerical simulation method (DNS), large eddy simulation (LES), intermittency factor transport model (RANS), and stability analysis method. DNS and LES methods are currently only used for the mechanism research of simple shapes due to their extremely large computational amounts. The intermittency factor transport model also brings a large computational amount and introduces large errors for aircraft with complex shapes. The most representative method in the stability analysis method is the eN method based on linear stability theory (LST), which is widely used in engineering practice. However, the eN method requires accurate boundary layer velocity and temperature profiles. In the three-dimensional boundary layer, there are complex flow phenomena such as separated flow and cross-flow vortices, which rely on high-precision numerical calculation methods. Moreover, the modal calculation of the three-dimensional boundary layer is more complex, and it is difficult to obtain the perturbation integral path. A global search for the initial eigenvalues is also required when solving the stability equation, which makes it time-consuming to use the stability analysis to calculate the perturbation growth.

[0004] From the current data, the research on transition prediction has become a key technology for aerospace development. However, the commonly used numerical simulation techniques for supersonic transition all require a large amount of time, and there is a lack of an efficient supersonic transition prediction method.
