Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft and engine integration testing, and in particular relates to a flow measurement method for a body air inlet fan coupling test. Background Art

[0002] As a key component connecting the engine and the aircraft, the aircraft engine inlet not only affects the engine's efficiency and safe operating boundary, but also affects the external flow and aerodynamics of the aircraft through coupling with the fuselage, fan and other components. The inlet flow is a key factor affecting engine performance. In the inlet wind tunnel test, the inlet flow needs to be accurately measured to provide support for the inlet configuration design and optimization.

[0003] In a separate inlet wind tunnel test, the total pressure and static pressure are usually measured in the uniform flow field at the inlet outlet, and then the inlet flow rate is calculated. However, for the integrated inlet fan configuration of the fuselage, due to the influence of flow field distortion, the inlet flow rate obtained by measuring the total pressure and static pressure at the inlet of the turbofan engine simulator has a large error.

[0004] The China Patent Literature Library has published a flow matching evaluation method for the joint operation of the intake duct and the engine (CN109460628A). The flow matching evaluation method first obtains the flow coefficient-total pressure recovery coefficient characteristic data of the intake duct through a wind tunnel test, and then obtains the engine component characteristic data through an engine component test. The flow coefficient-total pressure recovery coefficient characteristic data of the intake duct is then coupled to the engine model, and the engine performance is estimated. However, the problem of accurate measurement of the intake duct flow is not solved.
