Description

[0002] With the rapid development of space technology, a large number of space debris are left in the near-earth orbit of the earth, and these space debris with super-speed have a significant threat to the safety of spacecraft. The technology of adding a buffer protection screen outside the cabin wall of the spacecraft is an effective spacecraft protection technology. The protection mechanism is that after the space debris penetrates the protection screen, the space debris is broken into a large number of smaller debris, and the broken debris is like a cloud in a macroscopic view, which is called a debris cloud. The formation of the debris cloud makes the kinetic energy of the space debris highly dispersed and partially dissipated in the form of heat energy, which can greatly reduce the damage strength of the space debris to the spacecraft.

The disadvantages of this method are that the experimental device is large in size, time-consuming and labor-consuming to build, the experimental results are random, and it is difficult to obtain the mechanical parameters in the collision process and the size distribution of the debris in the debris cloud through experimental means.

[0005] The second method is a numerical simulation method, and the current numerical simulation of the space debris cloud in super-speed collision mostly adopts a smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) or a discrete element method (DEM), the former is difficult to accurately track the motion of a large number of discrete debris in the formation process of the debris cloud, and the latter is too large in consumption of computing resources and is difficult to be used in actual engineering.

[0054] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can also be combined with each other.

[0055] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. In the description of the invention, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as merely or implying relative importance.

[0056] This invention proposes a simulation method for ultra-high-speed collision space debris clouds. It transforms the traditional SPH method into an SDPH method suitable for solving discrete media. This SDPH method establishes a one-to-one correspondence between SDPH particles and real debris by introducing parameters such as pseudo-temperature, debris scale distribution, and the number of represented debris. This extends the SPH single particle from a geometric point mass to a physical point mass that can represent a discrete debris group with a certain particle size distribution, thereby achieving the solution for discrete media. Furthermore, the method of this invention establishes an SPH-SDPH coupled algorithm that considers the full development of debris. This not only accurately tracks the motion trajectory of real debris but also significantly reduces the computational load. It can simulate the motion of a large number of debris with fewer particles, obtaining both the spatial motion and distribution of the debris cloud, as well as its scale. The morphological distribution of the debris cloud basically matches the experimental results, demonstrating better accuracy and requiring fewer computational resources compared to existing numerical simulation methods.

[0057] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of the simulation calculation method for ultra-high-speed collision space debris clouds according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is used to simulate the formation and motion process of ultra-high-speed collision space debris clouds, and to obtain the morphological distribution and scale distribution of the debris clouds. The method includes:

[0058] Step 1: Establish a three-dimensional geometric model of the projectile and the target plate, divide the model into meshes, and assign each mesh to an SPH particle.

[0059] Based on the actual problem of space debris clouds from hypersonic collisions, a three-dimensional geometric model of the projectile and target plate is established. The model is then meshed, discretized using SPH (Spatial Phosphorescent) technology, and the mesh is converted into SPH particles. The model material is aluminum alloy, and the model dimensions are consistent with the experimental conditions. The method for establishing the three-dimensional geometric model of the projectile and target plate can be implemented using existing methods, such as Hypermesh software; this invention does not impose specific limitations.

[0060] The implementation process of this step may include the following sub-steps:

[0061] Step 10: Use Hypermesh software to create geometric models of the projectile and target plate.

[0062] Step 11: Mesh the established geometric model in Hypermesh.

[0063] Step 12: Convert the mesh files of the projectile and target plates formed after division into meshes to particles: following the principle of one mesh corresponding to one particle, the volume of the hexahedral mesh is the volume of the SPH particle, and the center of mass of the mesh is the center of mass of the SPH particle, which is the initial position of the SPH particle. This yields the particle model of the structure. The volume of a single SPH particle determines its mass, and the center of mass of the SPH particle directly determines the initial position of the matter.

[0064] Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 The images show the left and top views of the discretized particle models of the projectile and target plate, respectively, based on the established model. The circular area represents the projectile, and the square area represents the target plate. The diameter of the SPH particles is 0.4 mm, the diameter of the projectile is 10 mm, and the number of discretized SPH particles in the projectile is 8217. The length and width of the target plate are both 40 mm, the thickness is 4 mm, and the number of discretized SPH particles in the target plate is 100,000. The projectile impacts the target plate head-on with an impact velocity of 6.18 km / s and a time step of 0.1. The smooth length is taken as 1.3 times the interparticle distance. The elastic modulus E of the projectile and target plate materials is 68 GPa, and the Poisson's ratio is... The density is 0.33. It is 2790 kg / m3.

[0065] Step 2: Read the initial parameters and assign them to the SPH particles.

[0066] The initial parameters of the projectile impact target model are read and the physical information is stored on the SPH particle. These initial parameters include the parameters in the state equation during the projectile impact on the target and the parameters in the constitutive model of the projectile impact on the target.

[0067] The parameters in the state equation during the projectile impact on the target plate include:

[0068] The parameters in the constitutive model of the projectile impacting the target plate include:

[0069] m=1.0, n=0.34.

[0070] Its parameters are used in the following formula:

[0071] Gruneisen equation of state:

[0072] (1)

[0073] in,

[0074] (2)

[0075] In the formula, , For material density, The initial density of the material, This represents the internal energy of the material. A constant coefficient. They are respectively:

[0076] (3)

[0077] (4)

[0078] (5)

[0079] The constitutive models for the projectile and target plate materials in this embodiment of the invention are as follows: The constitutive model for the aluminum projectile and aluminum target plate materials adopts the Johnson-Cook constitutive model with damage model, in which the yield stress... The expression is:

[0080] (6)

[0081] In the formula, D is the damage variable. For accumulated damage plastic strain, where Represents cumulative plastic strain, dimensionless plastic strain rate for , , For custom reference strain rate, temperature , At room temperature Let A be the melting point of the material, and B, C, n, and m be material constants. , This indicates that the material is undamaged. This indicates that the material has completely failed. This is the fracture plastic strain, which is related to the material's stress triaxiality, strain rate, and temperature. For material constants, For stress triaxiality, This represents the average value of the normal stress.

[0082] The initial parameters read in this embodiment of the invention are all the parameters in Table 1 below, as well as the parameters used for contact force.

[0083] Table 1

[0084]

[0085] Step 3: Search for particles near the SPH particle. If a smooth discrete particle hydrodynamic SDPH particle is found, then search for particles near the SDPH particle.

[0086] This invention employs a neighbor-nearest particle search method to search for particles near the SPH particle. If an SDPH particle is found near the SPH particle, the external force exerted by the SDPH particle on the SPH particle is calculated, and the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations for the SPH particle are solved to obtain updated parameters for the SPH particle. Similarly, the neighbor-nearest particle search method is used to search for particles near the SDPH particle. When an SPH particle is found, the stress in the quasi-two-body collision form between the SPH and SDPH particles is calculated, and the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations are solved to obtain updated parameters for the SDPH particle. If no SPH particle is found near the SDPH particle, the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations for the SDPH particle are solved to obtain updated parameters for the SDPH particle.

[0087] Step 4: Calculate the update parameters of the SPH particles and the update parameters of the SDPH particles based on the search results;

[0088] To calculate the motion and stress of discrete fragment groups after a target plate breaks due to damage, this invention improves the traditional SPH method to the SDPH method, which is suitable for solving discrete media. Discrete particles are treated as pseudo-fluids, and the fluid model is solved by representing a series of discrete particle groups with a certain particle size distribution using each SDPH particle, thereby achieving effective simulation of discrete particle media. Furthermore, to accurately simulate the formation process of ultra-high-speed collision space debris clouds, track the motion of a large number of fragments, and obtain the scale distribution of the fragments, a coupled SPH-SDPH algorithm is proposed and established.

[0089] First, SDPH particles are introduced. The correspondence between SDPH particles and real discrete particulate media is established as follows:

[0090] (7)

[0091] in, The effective density of the particles, For particle subscripts, and Let N and denot be the volume fraction of the particles and the actual density of the particulate medium, respectively. If the number of particles in the flow field region is N, the average volume of the particles is... The average mass of the particles is The total volume of the space occupied by the flow field region is Therefore, the above correspondence can be expressed as:

[0092] (8)

[0093] in The mass of an SDPH particle is equal to the total mass of the particle swarm it represents, its density is the effective density of the particle swarm, and its velocity, pseudo-temperature, and pressure are all the mean values ​​of the represented particle swarm. The pseudo-temperature is defined as... , This indicates the pulsation velocity of the particles. This represents the average velocity of the particles.

[0094] The SDPH method was used to simulate the debris cloud. Each SDPH particle represented a real debris swarm with a certain number and size distribution. The correspondence between SDPH particles and debris clouds is shown in the diagram below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0095] SDPH method for discrete particulate media:

[0096] The mass conservation equation, momentum conservation equation, and energy conservation equation (quasi-temperature equation) for the granular phase are as follows:

[0097] (9)

[0098] (10)

[0099] (11)

[0100] in, , , These represent the particle volume fraction, density, and average velocity, respectively. For discrete medium pressure gradient, External volume force The energy generated by the stress of the granular medium. For energy dissipation, The energy dissipation coefficient, The energy dissipation terms resulting from interparticle collisions are expressed as follows:

[0101] (12)

[0102] (13)

[0103] in, The particle diameter is [value missing].

[0104] Let be the viscous stress tensor of the particles, defined as follows:

[0105] (14)

[0106] in, and These are the shear viscosity and volume viscosity of the particles. It is a unit tensor.

[0107] Discretize the SDPH conservation equations (9), (10), and (11) as follows:

[0108] (15)

[0109] (16)

[0110] (17)

[0111] Stress in the formula , The particle phase pressure is expressed as:

[0112] (18)

[0113] in, Let be the radial distribution function of the particles.

[0114] The SPH method is an existing technology and will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0115] Step 5: Determine whether SPH particles have been converted into SDPH particles;

[0116] If not, proceed to step 6-1 to update the SPH particle parameters using the calculated update parameters of the SPH particles.

[0117] If so, proceed to step 6-2 and update the SDPH particle parameters using the SDPH particle update parameter calculation method.

[0118] The damage value of SPH particles is calculated. When the damage value is less than 1, the material has not failed, and the SPH particles are not transformed. When the damage value is equal to 1, it represents complete material failure, forming discrete fragments. The average characteristic size of the fragments is further calculated. If the average characteristic size of the fragments is smaller than the initial discrete SPH particle size, the SPH particles are transformed into SDPH particles to simulate a discrete fragment group with a certain particle size distribution. If the average characteristic size of the fragments is larger than the initial discrete SPH particle size, the SPH particles are not transformed, and the discrete fragments are still simulated by SPH particles. The damage calculation formula is as follows:

[0119] (19)

[0120] in, To accumulate plastic strain, The fracture plastic strain is represented by the damage value D, which ranges from 0 to 1. When D=0, it indicates that the material is undamaged; when D=1, it indicates that the material has completely failed and formed fragments. The average characteristic size s of the fragments is calculated using the following material dynamic fracture criterion formula:

[0121] (20)

[0122] Where Y is the yield strength, The critical failure strain. For material density, The material strain rate.

[0123] The initial discrete SPH particles in the model have a diameter of 0.4 mm. Therefore, 0.4 mm is used as the boundary for the transformation from SPH particles to SDPH particles in the simulation. When the average characteristic size s of the fragments is greater than 0.4 mm, the SPH method is used for simulation, with multiple SPH particles jointly representing a single actual fragment. When the average characteristic size s of the fragments is less than 0.4 mm, the SPH particles are transformed into SDPH particles for calculation, with each SDPH particle representing a certain number of fragment groups. By using different methods to simulate fragments of different scales, an SPH-SDPH coupling method framework is established, such as... Figure 4-1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating insufficient material fragmentation in the SPH-SDPH coupling method. Figure 4-2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the complete material fragmentation process in the SPH-SDPH coupling method.

[0124] If SPH particles do not transform into SDPH particles, the SPH particle parameters are updated using the calculated update parameters of the SPH particles. If SPH particles transform into SDPH particles, the SDPH particle parameters are updated using the update parameters of the SDPH particles calculated using the SDPH particle update parameter calculation method. The update parameters of the SPH particles include at least: mass, velocity, position, and energy. The update parameters of the SDPH particles include at least: mass, velocity, position, and pseudo-temperature.

[0125] Step 7: Determine if the calculation time has reached the specified duration;

[0126] Repeat steps 3 to 6 above. After each round of calculation, update the total calculation time until the total calculation time reaches the preset time, that is, compare the total calculation time T with the program stop time. At that time, the SPH-SDPH coupled calculation ends.

[0127] Through the above numerical simulation calculations, data such as velocity, stress, damage, fragment cloud distribution, and fragment size distribution during the projectile impact on the target plate can be obtained. The entire process of the projectile impacting the target plate, from deformation to damage and then to fragmentation and the formation of a fragment cloud, can be simulated, and the stress distribution, damage factor distribution, fragment cloud morphology distribution, and fragment size distribution during this process can be obtained.

[0128] Step 8: After the above iterative calculations are completed, visualize the morphological distribution and scale distribution of the fragment cloud based on the updated SPH particle parameters and the updated SDPH particle parameters.

[0129] This step is a post-processing procedure for the calculation results, which can be completed using Tecplot software. Import the data calculated in the above steps into Tecplot to visualize the data such as velocity, stress, damage factor, fragment size distribution, and fragment cloud morphology distribution during the projectile impact on the target plate. Figure 5 The figure shows the morphological distribution of debris clouds simulated using the SPH-SDPH coupling method. The region represents a concentrated area of ​​the kernel debris cloud, and the expansion length of the debris cloud is expressed as... The expansion width of the fragment cloud is represented by... express, This refers to the aspect ratio, which characterizes the morphological features of fragment clouds. Figure 6-1 The left view shows the scale distribution of fragment clouds. Figure 6-2 This is a top view showing the scale distribution of fragment clouds. Figure 6-1 The analysis was conducted in four regions: A, B, C, and D. Region B is the region with the smallest average feature size of the fragments in the entire fragment cloud, less than 0.05 mm. This indicates that each SDPH particle represents dozens to hundreds of discrete fragments. If the traditional SPH method is used for simulation, accurately tracking the distribution of these fragments would result in a very large computational load for the entire case. However, by using the new SPH-SDPH coupling method, the fragment cloud morphology distribution in region B can be simulated with fewer particles, and the fragment density in this region can be predicted based on the fragment cloud scale distribution, greatly reducing the computational load.

[0130] This embodiment employs the SPH-SDPH coupling method for three-dimensional numerical simulation of the ultra-high-speed collision space debris cloud problem. By simulating the motion of a large number of discrete debris particles with a smaller number of particles, the morphological and scale distribution of the debris cloud during the projectile impact on the target plate was obtained. The morphological distribution of the debris cloud shows good agreement, confirming the effectiveness of the SPH-SDPH coupling method. This provides data support and guidance for the optimized design of spacecraft protective shields.

[0131] This invention also provides a simulation computing device for ultra-high-speed collision space debris clouds, such as... Figure 7The diagram shows the structure of the device, which is used to simulate the formation and motion of a hypersonic collision space debris cloud, and to obtain the morphological and scale distribution of the debris cloud. The device includes:

[0132] Model building unit 70 is used to build a three-dimensional geometric model of the projectile and the target plate, and to divide the model into meshes, with each mesh corresponding to a smooth particle hydrodynamic (SPH) particle.

[0133] Parameter reading unit 71 is used to read initial parameters and assign them to the SPH particles;

[0134] The neighboring particle search unit 72 is used to search for particles near the SPH particle. If a smooth discrete particle hydrodynamic SDPH particle is found, then the neighboring particles of the SDPH particle are searched.

[0135] The parameter calculation unit 73 is used to calculate the updated parameters of the SPH particles and the updated parameters of the SDPH particles based on the search results.

[0136] The judgment and parameter update unit 74 is used to determine whether SPH particles are converted into SDPH particles; if not, the SPH particle parameters are updated using the calculated update parameters of the SPH particles; if so, the SDPH particle parameters are updated using the update parameters of the SDPH particles calculated using the update parameter calculation method of the SDPH particles.

[0137] Visualization unit 75 is used to visualize the morphological and scale distribution of the fragment cloud based on the updated SPH particle parameters and the updated SDPH particle parameters after the calculation is completed.

[0138] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0139] In summary, the simulation calculation method and apparatus for hypervelocity collision space debris clouds provided by this invention can predict the morphological and scale distribution of hypervelocity collision space debris clouds while significantly reducing computational complexity. This invention introduces a novel SPH-SDPH coupled algorithm, which not only incorporates the SPH method to simulate incompletely damaged portions and fragments with an average feature size larger than the initial discrete SPH particle diameter, but also transforms the traditional SPH method into an SDPH method suitable for solving discrete media. Each SDPH particle can represent a set of discrete fragments with a specific particle size distribution, capable of reproducing the entire physical process of debris cloud formation after complete target damage. This invention provides an effective approach for studying the motion and distribution of hypervelocity collision debris clouds and optimizing the protective performance of spacecraft shields.

Step 4: Calculate the updated parameters of the SPH particles and the updated parameters of the SDPH particles based on the search results; Step 5: Determine whether the SPH particles have been converted into SDPH particles; if not, update the SPH particle parameters using the calculated updated parameters of the SPH particles; if yes, update the SDPH particle parameters using the calculated updated parameters of the SDPH particles; Repeat steps 3 to 5 until a preset time is reached; Step 6: After the above cyclic calculations are completed, visualize the fragment cloud morphology and scale distribution based on the updated SPH particle parameters and the updated SDPH particle parameters.
