Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-speed wind tunnel testing technology, specifically relating to a method for determining the operating parameters of a large-scale model velocity-pressure simulation test of a high-speed jet wind tunnel. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed jet wind tunnels are a type of high-speed wind tunnel with a special structural form, and have seen significant development since the mid-20th century. Unlike closed-section wind tunnels, high-speed jet wind tunnels do not have the strict limitations imposed by wall panels, allowing for relatively high levels of model obstruction. The model support methods and test equipment layouts are flexible, making them particularly suitable for conducting specialized wind tunnel tests on aircraft structural integrity and functional feasibility. They are primarily used for functional verification and evaluation of aircraft component deformation and sealing, nose cone separation, and dynamic deployment of wings / rudders / parachutes, solving many unique aerodynamic problems encountered during aircraft development.

[0003] Establishing a stable test flow field in a high-speed wind tunnel requires satisfying two conditions: nozzle profile and pressure ratio. Once the Mach number M is determined, the nozzle profile is also determined; the pressure ratio is the ratio of the total pressure in the stable section of the wind tunnel to the pressure behind the test chamber. As a special type of DC transient wind tunnel, the high-speed jet wind tunnel has the same starting total pressure as its operating total pressure, and the pressure behind the test chamber can be referenced to the local atmospheric pressure. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different topic.) In smaller (usually less than 5%) routine tests, the corresponding air-to-wind-tunnel pressure ratio λ1 can be determined based on the functional relationship between the test Mach number M obtained from wind tunnel commissioning and the air-to-wind-tunnel pressure ratio λ1. The total wind tunnel pressure can then be calculated by referring to the local measured atmospheric pressure value, and the test can be carried out accordingly.

[0004] However, in functional verification tests such as aircraft component deformation and sealing, cowl separation, and dynamic deployment of wings / rudders / parachutes, it is usually required to use physical prototypes of the aircraft or large-scale test models that maintain high flow similarity and mass distribution similarity. The blockage degree of large-scale test models... The blockage degree is generally much higher than that of conventional high-speed wind tunnel tests. In the subsonic range, the figure has exceeded 60%, and in the supersonic range, it has exceeded 30%. Large-scale test models have a significant impact on the start-up performance of high-speed jet wind tunnels, test airflow velocity and pressure, and test chamber static pressure, especially on the main parameter of wind tunnel test operation—the total wind tunnel pressure P0.

[0005] To achieve the functional evaluation and verification test objectives, it is necessary to accurately simulate the structural loads and response of the aircraft under flight conditions while simultaneously simulating the Mach number M. In other words, the wind tunnel test velocity-pressure must be consistent with the flight velocity-pressure. At a defined target Mach number M, the high-speed jet wind tunnel requires the selection of appropriate total wind tunnel pressure P0 and ejector pressure P. 0PThis combination enables accurate simulation of velocity and pressure in large-scale model tests. If the total wind tunnel pressure P0 and the ejector pressure P... 0P An inappropriate combination of factors may, on the one hand, make it difficult to establish the target Mach number M flow field in the high-speed jet wind tunnel, causing shock wave oscillations and affecting test safety; on the other hand, it may cause the uniform region of the jet core flow field in the high-speed jet wind tunnel to become smaller and the uniformity index to be poor, making it difficult to achieve the test objectives and also affecting test efficiency.
