Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aerospace science and technology, and in particular to a multi-scale prediction method for oxidation and ablation behavior of a carbon / carbon porous thermal protection material. Background Art

[0002] Ablative materials offer advantages such as high thermal protection efficiency, reliable operation, and strong adaptability to flow field variations. They are widely used in aviation, aerospace, missiles, the nuclear industry, furnace manufacturing, and other industries with demanding operating conditions. For example, see Chinese patent applications with publication numbers CN119666638A and CN119290728A, and Chinese patent publication number CN110308178B. During hypersonic flight, intense shock wave compression and viscous frictional drag significantly convert kinetic energy into internal energy, raising the vehicle's surface temperature to thousands of degrees Celsius. The combined effects of high temperature, high pressure, and high-velocity gas or flame erosion during operation make hot-end components highly susceptible to structural deformation, performance degradation, and severe aging due to ablation. Consequently, stringent requirements are placed on advanced thermal protection systems.

[0003] Carbon / carbon ablative materials are widely used due to their low density, low thermal expansion coefficient, high strength, and excellent chemical stability at high temperatures. Due to the highly porous structure of carbon / carbon ablative materials during use, in high-enthalpy airflow environments, dissociated atomic oxygen (O) enters the pores and contacts the carbon material, causing an oxidative ablation reaction. This reaction, coupled with multiple parameters such as porosity, incoming flow velocity, incoming flow concentration, and temperature within the porous medium, triggers a dynamic evolution of the ablative material's surface morphology, exhibiting a significant ablation regression phenomenon, ultimately affecting thermal protection performance.

[0004] The multi-scale prediction method for the oxidation and ablation behavior of pore-scale carbon / carbon ablative materials under high enthalpy flow can be well applied.

[0005] The interface oxidation mechanism and ablation process of carbon / carbon porous thermal protection materials under the flow-solid-heat-chemical coupling at the pore scale are predicted, which helps to refine and integrate the thermal protection system from a cross-scale perspective and provide the necessary scientific theoretical support for the development and research of hypersonic aircraft in high enthalpy environments.

[0006] At present, for pore-scale research under high-enthalpy flow, high-temperature ablation experimental research can only simply characterize the ablated surface morphology and overall ablation resistance of the material, which is not enough to clarify the chemical reaction mechanism of the oxidation ablation process and the microscopic influence of different flow conditions on the ablation evolution process.

[0007] Numerical simulation methods can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of experiments. Currently, in the field of ablative thermal protection systems at the pore scale in high-enthalpy flows, there is no complete multi-scale coupled numerical simulation method that can not only explain the heterogeneous reaction mechanism at the gas-solid interface but also provide high-precision thermal predictions for thermal protection systems at the mesoscopic scale.

[0056] Optionally, pore-scale modeling is performed on the carbon / carbon porous thermal protection material to obtain a porous medium model;

[0057] Step S2, determining multiple reaction temperatures;

[0058] Multiple reaction temperatures are input into the gas-solid interface microscopic model. At these reaction temperatures, the gaseous atomic oxygen phase and the solid graphene carbon layer undergo a chemical reaction to produce small molecule gas products corresponding to each reaction temperature.

[0061] Optionally, the specific steps of establishing the gas-solid interface micromodel include:

[0062] Identify carbon / carbon porous thermal protection materials as solid carbon layers;

[0063] A blank area above the surface of the solid carbon is preset as a gas environment to obtain a simulation box;

[0067] The graphene carbon layer is an atomic-level graphite material, consisting of a layer-by-layer graphene structure.

[0068] It will be appreciated that the gaseous atomic oxygen phase comprises oxygen atoms;

[0069] Oxygen atoms are randomly placed above the graphene layer. During the reaction, the oxygen atoms undergo oxidation reaction and catalytic reaction with the graphene layer. The oxidation reaction produces CO and CO2, and the catalytic reaction produces O2.

[0103]

[0104] Based on the slope of the gas-solid reaction mechanism function value changing with time, the reaction activation energy Ea is obtained, and the expression is:
