Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a special test method for simulating aircraft ground tests, and in particular to a thermal-electrical performance simulation and measurement device and method based on electric arc heating, belonging to the field of aircraft ground aerodynamic thermal test research. Background Art

[0002] During high-speed flight, the radome is subjected to strong air compression and intense friction, and is heated to a high temperature state. The wave-transmitting performance of the radome's wave-transmitting material will change significantly under high temperature conditions. In order to meet the performance requirements of spacecraft, the aircraft is flying at low altitude and high speed, facing a high enthalpy, high heat flow, and high dynamic pressure aerodynamic environment. The windward surface of the radome will quickly heat up, ablate, and even melt or vaporize, and the surface temperature will exceed 2000℃. Therefore, the study of the wave-transmitting performance of the radome under high temperature has always been one of the important problems in the development of aircraft. At present, the research on high-temperature wave-transparent materials of antenna covers at home and abroad is divided into two categories: static heating and dynamic heating. Static heating relies on heating methods such as quartz lamps, oxyacetylene or solar furnaces, but this method lacks simulation of the dynamic aerodynamic heating environment of the aircraft, and cannot truly reflect the surface state of the aircraft during flight. In addition, the material surface temperature that can be achieved by this method is limited and it is difficult to exceed 2000°C. The second category is to use arc wind tunnels to simulate the dynamic conditions of aircraft re-entry aerodynamic heating, conduct ablation tests, and at the same time conduct research on the dynamic microwave performance of high-temperature antenna covers. However, due to the limitations of equipment simulation capabilities and the inability of the wind tunnel site to meet darkroom conditions, the measurement accuracy of the material's wave-transparent performance cannot be guaranteed. At present, with the improvement of simulation and measurement capabilities, research on the wave transmission performance of materials based on arc heating has been carried out. The patent (ZL201920772523.6) provides a method for implementing ablation-wave transmission tests in arc wind tunnels, but can only provide results for a single frequency point; the patent (CN202310784597.2) provides a high-temperature broadband wave transmission rate test and measurement device for wave-transmitting materials based on arc wind tunnel heating, which mainly realizes the simulation of high enthalpy and low dynamic pressure at high flight altitudes, and can achieve a wide-band range of high-temperature transmittance measurement, but the material surface temperature can only reach about 2000℃, and it is impossible to achieve online measurement of high-temperature dielectric constant. In order to meet the research on the wave transmission performance of materials under conditions of low aircraft altitude and high dynamic pressure, and to achieve the measurement of the wave transmission rate change and dielectric constant of wave-transmitting materials at high temperatures. Summary of the invention
