[0067] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in step 5, according to the thickness h1 of the air inlet duct, the thermophysical property parameters of the material, the outer surface temperature T1 of the air inlet duct out (i) and the intake duct inner surface temperature T1 in (i) Calculate the inlet time during flight max The first heat flux density Q1(i) in the , wherein the first heat flux density Q1(i) is:

[0071] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in step 6, the second heat flux Q2(i) is determined according to the first heat flux Q1(i):

[0072] Q2(i)=Q1(i)-Δ1(i)×Q1(i)

[0077] According to the heat flux increment, it can be seen that in each cycle iteration, the second heat flux Q2(i) is reduced by %2 of the first heat flux based on the heat flux of the previous cycle.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present application, a set of numerical simulation results FEM1 and numerical simulation FEM2 obtained according to step 3 and step 7 are compared. Figure 2 Through the iterative cycle from step 6 to step 9, the second heat flux density Q2(i) that meets the requirements can be obtained, which is used as the input load for the numerical simulation of the intake duct simulation component.

[0086] In this embodiment, a new material is selected to design a simulation part, and after obtaining the thickness h2 of the simulation part and the material thermophysical property parameters, a finite element model of the simulation part is constructed based on the thickness h2 of the simulation part and the material thermophysical property parameters. The material thermophysical property parameters used include three physical quantities: conductivity k2, specific heat capacity c2 and density p2 of the simulation part.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, the comparison of the results of the two sets of numerical simulation FEM1 and numerical simulation FEM3 obtained according to step 3 and step 11 is as follows: Figure 3 , 4 Through the iterative cycle from step 10 to step 13, the thickness h2 of the simulation part that meets the requirements can be obtained, thereby realizing the equivalent thickness design of the aircraft air inlet simulation part of the new material.

[0088] The design method of the equivalent thickness of the aircraft inlet duct simulation part of the present application is as follows: first, the inlet duct is numerically simulated with a given temperature load during the entire flight time period to obtain the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the inlet duct under the temperature load; then the heat flux density required for the inlet duct during the entire flight time period is calculated, the aforementioned heat flux density is corrected and used as a load to perform numerical simulation on the inlet duct to obtain the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the inlet duct during the entire flight time period under the heat flux load, so that the difference between the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the inlet duct under the temperature load and the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the inlet duct under the heat flux load meets the error requirement, thereby determining the equivalent heat flux density; finally, a finite element model is established with the equivalent heat flux density as the load and the thickness of the new material simulation part as the variable (the initial thickness is the inlet duct thickness) to perform numerical simulation, so that the difference between the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the simulation part of the new material under the corrected thickness and the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the inlet duct under the temperature load meets the error requirement, thereby determining the thickness of the new material simulation part that meets the requirements.

[0089] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
