Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ramjet engines, and in particular relates to a test device and a test method for alleviating high enthalpy pulse wind tunnel nozzle throat ablation. Background Art
[0002] In the aerospace field, pulse wind tunnels are essential equipment for reproducing hypersonic flight environments and conducting aerodynamic and aero-thermal tests. With the development of hypersonic flight technology, the increasingly extreme flight environments require pulse wind tunnels to conduct a large number of high-enthalpy simulation state tests. However, nozzle throat ablation is one of the key issues that limits the ability of pulse wind tunnels to conduct high-enthalpy simulation state tests.
[0003] Under high-enthalpy simulation conditions, the airflow in the nozzle is hot and fast, accompanied by strong shock wave-turbulent boundary layer interactions. This results 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 mechanically scour the throat surface, causing throat damage and significantly affecting the flow field quality. Currently, ablation is mainly alleviated through material improvements and cooling technologies, including the use of higher melting point materials, throat surface coatings, embedding water-cooling or air-cooling 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 reduced test efficiency.
