Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a mixing chamber for a radiation-convection coupled aerodynamic-thermal test, and belongs to the field of aerospace aircraft aerodynamic-thermal ground simulation test devices. Technical Background

[0002] In ground-based simulations of aerodynamic thermal protection, radiation-convection coupled aerodynamic thermal testing has been gradually implemented as a key test method for the refined design of thermal protection structures for high-speed reentry vehicles. In these tests, high-temperature airflow generated by devices such as arc heaters and gas streams serves as a convective heat source, while high-energy flux radiation generated by devices such as quartz lamps, carbon arc lamps, and xenon arc lamps serves as a radiative heat source. These are applied simultaneously to the surface of the test model to simulate the coupled effects of convective heating from the atmosphere and radiative heating from high-intensity shock waves on the vehicle's thermal protection materials during high-speed reentry.

[0003] In the aforementioned convective and radiant heat source generation devices, the electric arc heaters or gas flow devices used as convective heat sources are typically large and complex, while radiant heat sources are typically simpler in structure. Therefore, the currently used radiant convection coupled aerodynamic thermal test devices are all improved upon convective heat source devices. However, conventional convective heating devices and the test model are both arranged on the same axis. Consequently, the radiation heat source generated by the improved radiant convection coupled test device must be reflected or obliquely illuminated to act on the test model, resulting in low radiant heat efficiency and low uniformity of radiation received by the test model surface. To improve the aforementioned radiant heat environment drawbacks of radiant convection coupled test devices, a completely new test device is needed. To this end, a device is needed within the test device that can integrate the convective and radiant heat sources, placing the radiant heat source and the high-temperature airflow on the same axis.

The small end flange 11 is installed on the small end side of the longitudinal through cavity 104 of the four-way inner shell 12. The outer wall surface of the flange is provided with a first water outlet channel 101, and the inner wall surface is provided with a first annular water collecting trough 102.

[0034] The radiation cavity 2 includes a connecting flange 21, a radiation cavity inner shell 22, a radiation cavity outer shell 23, a radiation flange 24 and a second air inlet ring 25.

After that, it flows out from the first water outlet channels 101 on both sides, namely the small end flange 11 and the large end flange 15. The high-pressure cold air flows from the first air inlet channel 107 of the large end flange 15, enters the first air collecting trough 108, and then enters the four-way inner shell 12 through the several first air inlet holes 109 of the first air inlet ring 16.

[0036] Specifically, the first air intake ring 16 of the air flow cavity 1 is an equal-diameter circular ring, and the inlet direction of the first air intake hole 109 thereon on the outer circular surface of the first air intake ring 16 is the same as the radial direction, and the outlet direction on the inner circular surface of the first air intake ring 16 is at a 45° angle to the axis of the first air intake ring 16. There is a rounded transition between the two, and the radius of the transition rounded corner on the central axis of the first air intake hole 109 is not less than the thickness of the first air intake ring 16.

[0037] Specifically, the second air inlet ring 25 of the radiation cavity 2 forms a 45° cone with respect to the axis of the radiation cavity 2 , and the second air inlet holes 207 distributed thereon are perpendicular to the surface of the second air inlet ring 25 .

[0038] Specifically, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first air inlet holes 109 of the air flow cavity 1 is equal to the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first air inlet channel 107 , and the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the second air inlet holes 207 of the radiation cavity 2 is equal to the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the second air inlet channel 205 .

[0039] Specifically, the sum of the number and cross-sectional area of ​​the second air intake channels 205 is greater than the sum of the number and cross-sectional area of ​​the first air intake channels 107 .

[0040] Specifically, the taper of the longitudinal through cavity 104 of the airflow cavity 1 is consistent with the converging light path of the radiation source.

[0041] Specifically, the inner surfaces of the longitudinal through cavity 104 and the transverse through cavity 106 of the airflow cavity 1 are tangent to each other at their intersection.

[0042] Specifically, the semi-ellipsoidal inner cavity 204 of the radiation cavity inner shell 22 of the radiation cavity 2 has the same outer wall shape as the ellipsoidal reflector used by the radiation source.

[0043] Specifically, the four-way inner shell 12 and the radiation cavity inner shell 22 are made of zirconium bronze, and the remaining components are made of stainless steel. All components of the airflow cavity 1 and the radiation cavity 2 are assembled by vacuum furnace brazing.

[0044] This embodiment involves a four-way mixing chamber for radiation-convection coupled aerodynamic thermal testing. Its component description and experimental verification demonstrate the unique features of the present invention. Its cross-shaped airflow cavity allows for the simultaneous installation of two convective heat sources. When used in a radiation-convection coupled test device, the radiation heat source's irradiation direction and the convective heat source's flow field are coaxial, effectively improving both the radiation heat efficiency and the radiation uniformity across the receiving surface while increasing integration.

[0045] The first air inlet channel and the second air inlet channel of this embodiment can simultaneously introduce high-pressure cold air into the airflow cavity, and by adjusting the flow ratio of the high-pressure cold air and the high-temperature airflow generated by the convection heat source, the convection flow field has the effects of total temperature regulation, voltage stabilization and rectification.

[0046] The radiation cavity used in this embodiment can effectively cool the outer shell and the core of the radiation heat source, which can effectively increase the service life of the radiation heat source;

[0047] The water-cooling structure and the brazing process used in this embodiment can increase the service life of the device itself and can withstand a high-temperature and high-pressure convection flow field environment.
