Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Pogo vibration suppression technology for liquid-fueled launch vehicles, and in particular to a simulation analysis method and system for the working process of an injection-type accumulator. Background Technology

[0002] During the launch of large liquid-fueled rockets, the pressure and flow fluctuations in the propulsion system couple with the elastic vibrations of the structure, generating an unstable closed-loop self-excited vibration, commonly known as POGO vibration. Currently, a common method to suppress POGO vibration is to install an accumulator in the liquid oxygen delivery system. Because gas-injection accumulators have strong frequency modulation capabilities and occupy little space, they are better suited to the cryogenic environment of rockets.

[0003] Current research on gas-injected accumulators mainly focuses on theoretical studies and system simulations. However, theoretical studies can only obtain the characteristic parameters of gas-injected accumulators and cannot accurately reflect the actual working process. For the designed gas-injected accumulators, there are no accurate calculation methods for parameters such as flexibility, inertia, and drag coefficient, as well as for liquid level changes and flow discharge during operation.

[0004] CFD simulation is an effective means of obtaining the actual design parameters of gas-injected accumulators. However, due to the high flow velocity and complex flow regime near the overflow outlet (at the overflow pipe orifice plate), existing CFD calculation theories cannot accurately calculate the gas-liquid two-phase-two-component choked flow at the orifice plate. At the same time, the cost of using the complete fluid domain for calculation is unacceptable due to the limitations of mesh size and local flow velocity (i.e., Courant number limitation).

[0005] Current CFD simulation methods for gas-injection accumulators typically simplify the overflow pipe into a single-phase flow or divide the flow outlet into two phases, failing to reflect the impact of complex flow on accumulator performance and neglecting the influence of the complex two-phase flow characteristics of the overflow pipe on the overall operating characteristics of the accumulator. In other words, existing technologies for simulating and analyzing the working process of gas-injection accumulators suffer from technical problems such as insufficient accuracy and completeness, and high computational costs.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0027] 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. Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] During the launch of large liquid-fueled rockets, the pressure and flow fluctuations in the propulsion system couple with the elastic vibrations of the structure, generating an unstable closed-loop self-excited vibration, commonly known as POGO vibration. Currently, a common method to suppress POGO vibration is to install accumulators in the liquid oxygen delivery system. Gas-injection accumulators offer stronger frequency regulation capabilities, occupy less space, and are better suited to the rocket's cryogenic environment.

[0029] In a gas-injection accumulator, the gas chamber is in direct contact with the propellant without structural isolation. During rocket flight, gas is continuously injected into the accumulator's gas chamber, and excess gas is discharged into the delivery pipe or outside the rocket body through a liquid level control pipe. The gas-liquid interface maintains a dynamic equilibrium near the overflow port. To ensure the normal operation of the gas-injection accumulator, the accumulator's charging flow rate, venting capacity, and pressure change pattern at the accumulator's installation location must be compatible to ensure that the accumulator's working volume meets the design specifications during rocket flight.

[0030] Current research on gas-injected accumulators mainly focuses on theoretical research and system simulation studies. By using the lumped parameter method to perform dynamic modeling of various components of a liquid rocket engine, a dynamic model of the gas-injected accumulator can be obtained. This model can reveal the influence of parameters such as the accumulator's flexibility, inertia, and flow resistance on the engine's POGO stability. Furthermore, system simulations can analyze the impact of different gas-injected accumulator schemes on the frequency characteristics of the propulsion system based on different design parameters.

[0031] However, theoretical studies can only obtain the characteristic parameters of gas-injected accumulators, which are difficult to reflect the actual working process. For the designed gas-injected accumulators, there are no accurate calculation methods for parameters such as flexibility, inertia, and drag coefficient, as well as liquid level changes and flow discharge during operation, which need to be obtained through experiments.

[0032] CFD simulation is an effective means of obtaining the actual design parameters of gas-injection accumulators. However, due to the high flow velocity and complex flow regime at the overflow pipe orifice plate, existing CFD calculation theories cannot accurately calculate the gas-liquid two-phase-two-component choked flow at the orifice plate. Furthermore, the computational cost of using the complete fluid domain is unacceptable due to limitations in mesh size and local flow velocity (i.e., Coulomb number constraints). Therefore, there is currently no complete CFD simulation study of the entire operating process of a gas-injection accumulator from startup to shutdown.

[0033] When pressure pulsations occur in the delivery pipeline causing the liquid level to rise, the amount of gas entering the pipeline through the overflow pipe decreases, the pressure inside the gas cushion increases, and the liquid level drops until it returns to the initial equilibrium position. Conversely, when pressure pulsations cause the liquid level to drop, the amount of gas entering the pipeline through the overflow pipe increases, the pressure inside the gas cushion decreases, and the liquid level rises until it returns to the initial equilibrium position. Therefore, the overflow pipe of the gas-injection accumulator is of great significance for the accumulator to maintain the gas cushion volume, change the natural frequency of the pipeline system, and reduce pipeline pulsation pressure. However, the flow regime near the overflow port is extremely complex, consisting of a congested flow of mixed gas and liquid. Flow data at this location can only be obtained through experimental measurements over a period of time.

[0034] Theoretical research and system simulation can only obtain the overall trend of change, and experiments can only obtain the temperature and pressure distribution at the measuring points. However, CFD simulation can obtain specific operating characteristics of the gas-injection accumulator during operation, such as the internal temperature distribution, liquid level fluctuations, gas phase component content and distribution, and overflow pipe flow changes as the operating pressure changes. However, existing CFD patents for gas-injection accumulators simplify the overflow pipe to single-phase flow or divide the flow outlet into two phases, which cannot reflect the impact of complex flow on accumulator performance. They ignore the impact of the complex two-phase flow characteristics of the overflow pipe on the overall operating characteristics of the accumulator, and do not perform simulation calculations that combine phase change and flow.

[0035] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a simulation analysis method and system for the working process of a gas-injection accumulator, in order to solve the technical problems that the existing simulation analysis of the working process of a gas-injection accumulator is not complete and accurate enough, and has high computational cost.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a simulation analysis method for the working process of an injection-type accumulator disclosed in this embodiment of the invention will first be described in detail. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1 The diagram shows a simulation analysis method for the working process of an injection-type accumulator. This method can be executed by electronic equipment and mainly includes the following steps S110 to S130:

[0037] S110: Construct a working simulation model of a gas-injection accumulator using a basic simulation model;

[0038] The basic simulation models may include: multiphase flow model, turbulence model, and phase change model.

[0039] In one embodiment, step S110, which involves constructing a working simulation model of an injection-type accumulator using a basic simulation model, includes:

[0040] (S111) Determine the basic simulation model used to construct the working simulation model of the gas-injection accumulator;

[0041] (S112) Perform three-dimensional modeling of the accumulator's geometry and fluid domain, and mesh the data;

[0042] That is, the accumulator geometry and fluid domain are determined, modeled, and meshed. In this embodiment, the accumulator geometry and fluid domain can be modeled using 3D software. For the fluid domain structure of the gas injection accumulator, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown in part (a), the gas-injected accumulator includes: a gas injection port 1, a gas-liquid interface 2, a connecting hole 3, a gas chamber 4, an overflow pipe 5, and an overflow pipe flow-limiting orifice plate 6.

[0043] (S113) Based on the results of 3D modeling and mesh generation, a working simulation model of the gas injection accumulator is constructed using the basic simulation model.

[0044] S120: Based on the structure and operating conditions of the accumulator, determine the simplified flow model at the overflow pipe orifice plate; the simplified flow model is used to determine the boundary conditions at the overflow pipe outlet;

[0045] In other words, for the complex two-phase flow process at the overflow pipe orifice plate, a two-phase choke flow model is used to simplify it to pressure boundary conditions. The pressure is determined based on the correlation between flow rate, two-phase content, temperature, and pressure, using the two-phase content, temperature, and two-phase mass flow rate of the upstream flow.

[0046] In one embodiment, step S120, which determines a simplified flow model at the overflow pipe orifice plate based on the accumulator's structure and operating conditions, includes:

[0047] (S121) Based on the structure and operating conditions of the accumulator, obtain the parameters of the upstream flow; the parameters of the upstream flow include: two-phase content, temperature, and two-phase mass flow rate;

[0048] (S122) Based on the parameters of the upstream flow, the simplified flow model is determined using the two-phase flow calculation formula.

[0049] In one embodiment, the two-phase flow calculation formula includes:

[0050] ;(Formula 1)

[0051] Where Gc is the two-phase mass flow rate, x is the ratio of the gas phase mass flow rate to the two-phase mass flow rate, and v g For gas compatibility, v f Let P be the liquid specific volume and P be the pressure.

[0052] See the simplified fluid domain of the injection-type accumulator using the flow model. Figure 2 As shown in part (b).

[0053] In one embodiment, the method further includes, after step S120, verifying the working simulation model and the simplified flow model of the gas-injection accumulator, respectively. Verification of the simplified flow model may include the following steps:

[0054] (S01) Calculate using a simplified flow model to generate the two-phase mass flow rate under the current operating conditions and working fluid;

[0055] (S02) The two-phase mass flow rate under the current working condition and working medium is compared using historical experimental data to verify the simplified flow rate model.

[0056] The simplified flow model is Equation (1). Since Equation (1) is a theoretical model, it can be replaced according to different calculation conditions and working media. Therefore, before using it, it is necessary to find relevant experimental literature data to compare and verify the flow calculated by the formula with the experimental data to ensure that the flow formula used is accurate under the current operating conditions and working media. Similarly, the main body of the accumulator involves two-phase flow and phase change. The verification of the working simulation model of the gas injection accumulator can be carried out according to the general simulation process.

[0057] S130: Based on the boundary conditions at the overflow pipe outlet, a transient two-phase flow simulation of the gas-injected accumulator is performed using the working simulation model of the gas-injected accumulator to obtain the distribution of internal physical property parameters under the working state of the accumulator; the results of the physical property parameter distribution are used to analyze the working characteristics of the gas-injected accumulator.

[0058] In one embodiment, the distribution of physical properties inside the accumulator during operation includes: pressure distribution, temperature distribution, component content distribution, and gas-liquid interface change rate.

[0059] In one embodiment, the operating characteristics of the gas-injection accumulator are analyzed, including:

[0060] (1) Determine the discharge flow rate of the overflow pipe based on the results of the distribution of physical property parameters;

[0061] (2) Based on the results of the distribution of physical property parameters, analyze the effects of gas injection flow rate, temperature, and overflow pipe flow restrictor diameter on the working stability of the accumulator;

[0062] (3) Based on the results of the distribution of physical property parameters, the accumulator flexibility, resistance coefficient and inertia coefficient are obtained to verify the reliability of the accumulator related design.

[0063] This invention provides a simulation analysis method for the working process of a gas-injection accumulator. The method includes: constructing a working simulation model of the gas-injection accumulator using a basic simulation model; determining a simplified flow model at the overflow pipe orifice plate based on the accumulator's structure and operating conditions; and performing transient two-phase flow simulation of the gas-injection accumulator using the working simulation model based on the boundary conditions at the overflow pipe outlet determined by the simplified flow model, thereby obtaining the internal physical property parameter distribution of the accumulator under operating conditions. The results of this distribution are used to analyze the working characteristics of the gas-injection accumulator, thus achieving simulation analysis of the entire working process of the gas-injection accumulator. This method solves the technical problems of existing simulation analyses of accumulator working processes being incomplete and inaccurate, and having high computational costs, achieving the technical effects of improving the accuracy of simulation analysis and reducing computational resources.

[0064] As a specific example, this embodiment of the invention provides a simulation analysis method for the working process of a gas-injection accumulator, including the following steps:

[0065] (Step 1) Determine the model to be used in the simulation, including multiphase flow model, turbulence model, phase change model, etc. That is: determine the multiphase flow model, turbulence model and phase change model for the simulation.

[0066] (Step 2) Determine the accumulator geometry and fluid domain, model and mesh.

[0067] (Step 3) Determine and establish boundary conditions based on the accumulator installation location and operating conditions; determine the flow model based on the accumulator operating conditions and working fluid, and write it as a UDF as the boundary condition for the overflow pipe outlet.

[0068] In other words, the fluid domain of the overflow pipe's orifice plate section is simplified to a pressure outlet boundary condition. Using Fluent's UDF function, the two-phase mass flow rate Gc0, the two-phase mass flow rate ratio x, and the temperature T of the upstream inflow are obtained. Assuming a pressure P0, the partial derivatives of the gas phase vg and the liquid phase specific volume vf at the current pressure P0 are obtained based on the upstream inflow temperature T. and (Relevant physical property data can be obtained from the NIST database), and then the two-phase mass flow rate Gc1 is calculated using the flow formula (1); compare the difference between Gc1 and Gc0, modify the assumed pressure P0, and recalculate the partial derivative of the specific volume with respect to the pressure and the two-phase mass flow rate until the error between the two calculation results is less than a certain value, and then assign the assumed pressure P to the simulated pressure outlet using UDF.

[0069] (Step 4) Verify the simplified flow models for the main body and the overflow pipe orifice plate respectively.

[0070] The simplified flow model is Equation (1). Since Equation (1) is a theoretical model, it can be replaced according to different calculation conditions and working fluids. Therefore, before using it, it is necessary to find relevant experimental literature data to compare and verify the flow calculated by the formula with the experimental data to ensure that the flow formula used is accurate under the current operating conditions and working fluids. Similarly, the main body of the accumulator involves two-phase flow and phase change, and the verification here can be carried out according to the general simulation process.

[0071] (Step 5) CFD simulation calculation of the gas-injected accumulator, namely: perform transient two-phase flow simulation of the gas-injected accumulator to obtain the internal pressure distribution, temperature distribution, component content distribution and gas-liquid interface change rate, and overflow flow rate of the accumulator under working conditions.

[0072] (Step 6) Analyze the calculation results to obtain the working characteristics of the gas injection accumulator.

[0073] Based on the calculation results, the overflow pipe discharge flow rate can be obtained, and the effects of air injection flow rate, temperature, and overflow pipe flow restrictor diameter on the working stability of the accumulator can be analyzed to obtain the control law of the air injection accumulator. By setting different pressure changes, it can be analyzed whether the accumulator can meet the design requirements. Based on the simulation results, the accumulator flexibility, resistance coefficient, and inertia coefficient can be obtained, thereby verifying the reliability of the relevant design theory of the accumulator.

[0074] The simulation analysis method for the working process of a gas-injected accumulator provided in this invention obtains the working characteristics of the gas-injected accumulator through CFD simulation. Compared with traditional nonlinear model system simulation methods and experimental methods, CFD simulation can obtain the distribution of component content, velocity field, temperature field and pressure field inside the accumulator, providing a clearer understanding of the accumulator's working state.

[0075] To address the complex two-phase flow at the overflow pipe orifice plate, a theoretical flow model was used as a substitute, enabling successful simulation of the entire operation process of the gas-injected accumulator. This allows for more accurate calculations of the accumulator overflow pipe discharge flow rate, and further calculations can yield more precise characteristic parameters such as accumulator flow resistance, flexibility, and inertia.

[0076] Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention also provide a simulation analysis system for the working process of an injection-type accumulator, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 As shown, the system includes:
