[0002] In the field of aerospace, pulsed wind tunnels are the main equipment for reproducing hypersonic flight environments and conducting aerodynamic and aerothermal tests. With the development of hypersonic flight technology, more extreme flight environments require a large number of high-enthalpy simulation state tests to be carried out in pulsed wind tunnels, and nozzle throat ablation is one of the key problems restricting the high-enthalpy simulation state tests in pulsed wind tunnels.

[0003] Under high-enthalpy simulation conditions, the gas flow in the nozzle has a high temperature and fast speed, and is accompanied by strong shock-turbulent boundary layer interactions, resulting in extremely high heat flux density on the surface of the nozzle throat material, which is prone to high-temperature ablation. At the same time, the ablation products of the material will also cause mechanical erosion to the throat surface, causing throat damage and having a greater impact on the flow field quality. At present, ablation is mainly alleviated through material improvement and cooling technologies, including using materials with higher melting points or applying coatings on the throat surface, embedding water-cooled or air-cooled channels inside the throat, and replacing the throat lining. However, there are problems such as material limitations, easy peeling of coatings, complex cooling structures, and affecting test efficiency.
