Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind tunnel visualization test devices, in particular to a multifunctional and adjustable smoke generating device for a wind tunnel. Background Art

[0002] The smoke generating device introduces smoke into the wind tunnel, making the originally invisible air flow clearly visible. The smoke flows along with the airflow, forming obvious smoke trails, which help to intuitively observe and analyze the distribution of the flow field, including flow direction, speed changes, and the formation and evolution of vortices.

[0003] Current smoke generators for wind tunnel visualization testing have the following problems: ① The device structure is relatively complex and only suitable for solid or liquid smoke agents. The appropriate generator must be selected based on the characteristics and actual needs of the smoke cake and smoke liquid, resulting in high costs and uneven heating. ② Most existing smoke generators are fixed at a fixed height and cannot be remotely observed or controlled. While such devices can meet the smoke requirements of basic wind tunnel tests to a certain extent, they are not suitable for the wind tunnel test model's requirements for smoke generation at different heights and locations. Furthermore, they have difficulty capturing three-dimensional vortex structures, resulting in blind spots in complex flow observations. ③ Most existing smoke generators use a single or multiple nozzles, with hoses connecting the nozzles to change the spray direction. This results in a less fine and uniform smoke generation, making it difficult to meet the smoke generation requirements of different parts of the model. Furthermore, generators that quickly change the spray direction through a hose connection can cause pressure loss or uneven smoke concentration due to the hose length.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN116642655A (publication date: August 25, 2023) discloses an adjustable instantaneous flow field visualization smoke generating device. The invention can realize regional monitoring of real-time flow fields within a certain range by remotely controlling the flow rate and angle of the smoke. Chinese invention patent CN113848033A (publication date: December 28, 2021) discloses a continuous smoke generating device for a small visualization wind tunnel test bench. The invention can better control the generation, flow and tracing effect of smoke, has strong controllability, and has the characteristics of small size, light weight, good continuity and strong adaptability, and has good working reliability. Although the above patents can control the smoke output of the smoke generating device to a certain extent, they do not take into account the problem of rough smoke injection, and cannot simultaneously meet the independent smoke generation of different smoke-generating agents. The adaptability is not strong, and it does not solve the problem that the wind tunnel test model needs to generate smoke at a certain height and different angles at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Furthermore, the thermal insulation layer is made of ceramic fiber material, which has good thermal insulation effect, reduces internal heat loss, avoids relative interference between the liquid reservoir and the material storage bin during the heating process, and maintains the independence of the two.

[0012] Furthermore, the multi-porous nozzle is made of ceramic fiber material, is threadedly connected to the periphery of the outlet of the contraction section of the shell, and can be disassembled; the multi-porous nozzle has a plurality of small nozzle holes, which can evenly spray smoke.
