Abstract
Description

[0040] A method for measuring transient flow rate in a test flow channel of an aero-engine, comprising:
[0041] On the measuring section of the flow channel (1), multiple transient conversion flow measuring instruments (2) are arranged circumferentially, such as Figure 2 As shown, where:
[0042] The support rod (3) of each transient conversion flow measurement instrument (2) extends into the flow channel (1), and multiple measurement stacks (4) are arranged radially;

[0044] Calculate the transient flow rate within flow channel (1):
[0045]
[0046]
[0047] in,
[0048] W represents the transient flow rate within channel (1);
[0049] K W The flow coefficient inside the flow channel (1) is obtained by measuring the boundary layer inside the flow channel (1);
[0050] m is the gas dynamics coefficient inside the flow channel (1);

[0055] P s The average static pressure of the airflow in the flow channel (1) is measured at each static pressure measuring point (B).
[0056] For the transient flow measurement method in the test flow channel of the aero-engine disclosed in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that it is designed to arrange multiple transient conversion flow measurement instruments 2 circumferentially on the measurement section of the flow channel 1.

The total pressure measurement point A at the leading edge of the section where each measurement stack 4 is located is designed, and static pressure measurement points B are set on both sides. Then, the transient flow rate is calculated by the measurement value of each measurement point, which can meet the response requirements of transient flow rate change and accurately capture the static pressure non-uniformity characteristics.
