Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aerodynamics, and in particular to a closed cavity for optimizing local peak heat flow and a design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] For new hypersonic strategic missiles, geometric structures such as cavities are unavoidable during the design and production process. The presence of cavities may change the flow state on the surface of the aircraft, causing flow transitions and increasing local peak heat flux. Excessive peak heat flux may cause local ablation, change the aerodynamic shape, cause the surface flow state and aerodynamic heat of the missile to deviate from the design, and affect the aerodynamic performance and landing point accuracy; in severe cases, it may cause the failure of the heat protection structure, causing safety accidents and seriously threatening flight safety.
[0003] For hypersonic cavity flow, the cavity flow is divided into three types: open, transitional and closed cavities according to the different length-to-depth ratios of the cavity. Open cavity: The flow above the cavity is a zone. The flow flows over the cavity, and the flow forms a large-scale closed vortex structure inside the cavity; it is compressed by the closed flow inside the cavity at the front wall, forming a compression wave; at the rear wall of the cavity, it is affected by the geometric compression surface to form a shock wave structure. Transition cavity: The flow above the cavity is divided into two zones. When the flow passes through the cavity, it goes deep into the bottom of the cavity, forming an incident shock wave and a departing shock wave. The two shock waves merge above the flow, and the shock foot is affected by the flow to form a bifurcated shock wave; at the front wall, the flow is mainly expanded into the cavity, forming an expansion shock wave, and a small-scale vortex structure is formed in the corner area of the cavity; at the rear wall, the flow is mainly compressed by the rear wall, forming a compression wave, and a small-scale vortex structure is formed in the corner area. Closed cavity: The flow above the cavity is divided into three zones. The main flow field characteristics are similar to those of the transition cavity. The flow penetrates deeper into the bottom, and the incident shock wave and the departing shock wave are clearly separated. A smaller vortex structure is formed in the front wall and the rear corner area. There is an expansion wave in the upper corner area of the front wall, and a compression wave in the corner area of the rear wall.
[0004] In the design of high-speed aircraft, closed cavity structures often face the problem of poor local thermal environment. The high heat flux of the closed cavity is mainly distributed at the bottom downstream and the tail end. The high heat flux mechanism at the bottom downstream is mainly generated by the flow vortex structure at the bottom, and the high heat flux at the tail end is mainly generated by shock wave interference. The complex flow characteristics of high-speed airflow in the cavity cause a large amount of heat to accumulate in local areas, causing the temperature of the cavity wall to rise sharply. This will not only pose a serious threat to the structural integrity of the aircraft, but may also affect the normal operation of its internal equipment, thereby reducing the overall performance and reliability of the aircraft.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a closed cavity that optimizes the local peak heat flux. Summary of the invention
[0006] The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a closed cavity for optimizing the local peak heat flux, which can solve the above-mentioned technical problems, adjust the flow vortex and reduce the tail end interference intensity, thereby reducing the peak value of the local heat flux.
[0007] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for optimizing a closed cavity.
[0008] The present invention provides a closed cavity for optimizing local peak heat flux, comprising a closed cavity with a top opening, wherein the opening surface and the bottom surface of the closed cavity are parallel, and the opening surface and the bottom surface are both rectangular, the bottom area of the closed cavity is larger than the opening area, and the angle between the tail end of the closed cavity and the bottom surface is greater than 90°.
[0009] Preferably, the cross section of the closed cavity is an isosceles trapezoid.
[0010] Preferably, the angle between the side wall and the bottom surface of the closed cavity is 130°-140°
[0011] Preferably, the included angle between the side wall and the bottom surface of the closed cavity is 135°.
[0012] Preferably, the angle between the tail end of the closed cavity and the bottom surface is 130°-140°
[0013] Preferably, the angle between the rear end of the closed cavity and the bottom surface is 135°.
[0014] Preferably, the length L of the closed cavity is greater than the depth D of the closed cavity.
[0015] Preferably, the length-to-depth ratio of the closed cavity is: L / D=15.
[0016] The present invention also provides a design method for a closed cavity for optimizing local peak heat flux, comprising the following steps: a. optimizing the geometric shape of the closed cavity; b. numerically simulating the optimized cavity configuration using computational fluid dynamics software; and c. verifying the optimization results through wind tunnel testing.
[0017] Preferably, the specific steps of step c are: conducting actual tests on the optimized closed cavity through wind tunnel experiments, and comparing and verifying the results with numerical simulation results.
[0018] Beneficial effects:
