Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and in particular to a numerical calculation method for an unsteady jet interference flow field taking into account a pulse jet pressure building process. Background Art
[0002] The jet direct force control technology can supplement the control capability of aerodynamic control surfaces, quickly change the trajectory and attitude of the aircraft, and can be used to achieve a variety of different control purposes such as braking and separation of the aircraft. It is widely used in engineering practice. The engine jet and high-speed incoming flow are controlled to interact with each other, and the flow field around the nozzle and upstream and downstream forms a complex flow including flow separation and reattachment, shock wave and shock wave interference, shock wave and boundary layer interference, shear layer, and more complex high-order induced vortex and wave systems generated by the interaction between them.
[0003] The jet interference flow field wave / vortex instability has unsteady effects such as strong shock wave oscillation and large-scale vortex motion. In addition, the establishment and disappearance process of the interference flow field caused by the start-up and shutdown of the jet has significant unsteady characteristics. The reconstruction of the interference flow field and the changes in the interference range and intensity caused by the jet thrust adjustment are also significant unsteady processes. The superposition of these unsteady effects will have a great impact on the aerodynamic characteristics and stability of the aircraft, and is closely related to factors such as flight altitude, speed, and flight attitude.
[0004] In response to such complex problems, early studies mainly focused on steady jet interference problems. With the continuous improvement of aircraft design requirements, more and more attention has been paid to the study of the unsteady effects of jet interference. However, most studies usually impose jet conditions at the nozzle outlet and do not simulate the flow inside the nozzle. Therefore, they fail to fully reflect the unsteady characteristics of the jet interference flow field.
[0005] In view of the above reasons, the present invention proposes a numerical calculation method for an unsteady jet interference flow field taking into account a pulse jet pressure building process. Summary of the invention

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0038] The present invention provides a numerical calculation method for an unsteady jet interference flow field considering a pulse jet pressure building process, comprising the following steps:
[0039] S10: Computational grid division: The consistency design of computational grid is performed through the flow field with or without nozzles;
[0040] S30: Calculation boundary condition setting: when there is no spraying, the nozzle inlet is set to solid wall condition; when there is spraying, the nozzle inlet is set to jet flow condition; the other boundary condition settings are consistent with those with and without spraying;
[0041] S40: Calculate the nozzle inlet velocity: Calculate the jet direction according to the nozzle installation position and the nozzle axis direction, and give the nozzle inlet velocity according to this direction. The nozzle inlet velocity remains unchanged during the pressure building process;
[0042] S40: Input of the jet pressure building process: discretize the jet total pressure according to the nozzle pressure building curve according to the physical time step, and give the jet total pressure at the nozzle inlet of each physical time step according to the discretized value. The jet total temperature remains unchanged during the pressure building process;
[0043] S50: Calculate the initial field: Calculate the flow field when there is no jet, take the converged flow field without jet as the initial field when the jet is calculated under the same incoming flow conditions, and perform unsteady calculation of the pulse jet interference flow field based on the initial field without jet;
[0044] S60: Jet condition switching: When the jet starts, the boundary condition at the nozzle inlet is switched from the solid wall condition to the jet condition. Under the jet condition, the total pressure, total temperature and inlet velocity of the jet are given in each physical time step.
[0045] S70: Iterative calculation: Unsteady iterative calculation is continuously performed according to the pressure building process. From the moment the jet is closed, the nozzle inlet is switched to a solid wall condition and unsteady calculation is continued;
[0046] S80: If the jet is turned on again, repeat steps S60 and S70; if the jet is no longer turned on, continue iterative calculation until the jet-free field is restored.
[0047] The consistency design of the computational grid in step S10 includes: using a partitioned docking structure grid to simulate the actual fixed connection state of the nozzle and the projectile body, and performing integrated grid division of the projectile body and the nozzle, wherein the nozzle adopts an O-type grid method, and the computational grids without and with the nozzle are consistent, and only the boundary conditions at the nozzle inlet are set differently.
[0048] Although the selection of the physical time step of the dual time step method is not restricted by stability conditions, if the physical time step is too small, the calculation time will be unacceptable, and if the physical time step is too large, it will have a certain impact on the calculation accuracy, so it is necessary to determine a reasonable physical time step based on the physical problem itself. Since the pulse jet action time is generally short, in the millisecond level, and considering the existence of unsteady flows of different scales such as pulse jets and bypasses in the flow field, step S40 determines the physical time step Δt according to the time when the jet is ejected from the nozzle and the time when the incoming flow flows through the projectile. The formula is:
[0049] Δt=0.1×min(L j / U j , L / U ∞ )
[0050] Where, L j represents the nozzle length, U j represents the jet exit velocity, L represents the projectile length, U ∞ Represents the incoming flow velocity, and the above-mentioned nozzle length is the straight-line distance from the center of the nozzle inlet to the center of the nozzle outlet.
[0051] In this embodiment, step S40 specifically includes: directly constructing a nozzle total pressure curve equation according to a pulse form that can be mathematically expressed, and the pulse form that can be mathematically expressed includes a square pulse, a trapezoidal pulse, a triangular pulse, etc. For pulse forms that cannot be directly described mathematically, a given thrust curve is converted into a nozzle total pressure curve, and interpolation encryption is performed according to the physical time step, and then the jet total pressure is discretized according to the physical time step, and the jet total pressure at the nozzle inlet of each physical time step is given according to the discretized value, and the jet inlet velocity and the jet total temperature remain unchanged during the pressure building process.
[0052] In step S40, the finite volume method is used for discretization. The convection term is discretized using the second-order accuracy Roe format, the viscosity term is discretized using the central difference format, the turbulence model uses the one-equation SA turbulence model, and the time term is discretized using the high computational efficiency dual time step method.
[0053] In this embodiment, the unsteady calculation method of steps S50 and S70 adopts the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations as the control equations and discretizes them through the finite volume method. The unsteady iterative calculation in step S70 adopts the LU-SGS implicit iterative method and adopts the local time step method to accelerate the convergence of the inner iterative process.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an unsteady calculation test of the lateral pulse jet pressure building process for the cone-column-skirt spiral body shape according to the above method. When the incoming flow Mach number is 6, the flight altitude is 30km, the incoming flow attack angle and the sideslip angle are both 0°, the nozzle outlet Mach number is 2.65, the maximum total pressure of the jet is 2.87MPa, and the total temperature of the jet is 293.15K. The unsteady calculation of the jet interference is carried out with no jet field as the initial field. The jet condition is applied at the nozzle inlet. The jet working mode is input in the form of a square wave. The jet working time is 3ms. Figure 2 The flow field calculation results during the jet pressure buildup process are shown in Figure 3 As shown, the unsteady characteristics of the jet start-up, jet interference flow field formation, jet closure, and jet interference flow field disappearance during the pulse jet pressure building process are displayed.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
