Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of multi-body separation wind tunnel testing, and in particular to a dynamic CTS testing method for dynamic simulation of multi-body separation problems. Background Art
[0002] During flight phases such as separation between spacecraft and rocket stages, and the launch and release of aircraft external stores, the separating bodies and the parent body are exposed to complex, interfering flow fields. Poor separation characteristics not only compromise performance but can also lead to collisions between the bodies and even endanger the safety of the parent body. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and analyze the separation characteristics of multi-body external store separations to provide a foundation for separation strategy design and safe separation research.
[0003] The CTS test is a ground-based test method for determining the aerodynamic and trajectory characteristics of external store separation in complex, interfering flow fields. It uses a combination of static force measurement and dynamic equation solution to gradually determine the aerodynamic loads and trajectory of the external store separation. Its advantages lie in the ability to accurately set the separation state parameters as needed, and the ability to accurately determine the static aerodynamic loads and trajectory. However, its disadvantage lies in the lack of dynamic aerodynamic load measurement, which is typically corrected by setting dynamic derivative parameters.
[0004] Another experimental technique used to study multi-body separation problems is the drop test. This involves ejecting a model to generate the initial separation velocity and initial separation angular velocity. The model then moves freely under wind tunnel conditions, and the separation trajectory is captured using high-speed photography. This technique has the advantage of simulating the dynamic separation process, taking into account the effects of dynamic aerodynamic loads. However, its disadvantages are that the initial separation velocity and initial separation angular velocity are difficult to accurately simulate and have poor repeatability. High-speed photography struggles to capture a comprehensive image of the model, making it difficult to obtain a six-degree-of-freedom trajectory. Furthermore, non-uniform flow conditions can lead to image distortion, which is difficult to resolve using image calibration.
[0005] The CTS test and the release test are complementary in terms of advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a test method that combines the advantages of the CTS test and the release test. Summary of the Invention

[0055] In some embodiments, the velocity inverse relationship of the 6-PTRT parallel mechanism is used to convert the linear velocity and angular velocity of the external attachment model into the velocity of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanism driving component.
[0056] Step (6): Repeat steps (4) to (5) until the test requirements are met, convert the aerodynamic load and posture data of the external attachment model into the aerodynamic load and posture data of the real external attachment, save the data, and stop the test.
