Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aircraft aerodynamic characteristic prediction, and in particular to a method, device and medium for predicting the aerodynamic characteristics of a rough wall of a hypersonic aircraft. Background Technology
[0002] Hypersonic vehicles typically experience aerodynamic heating during flight, necessitating the deployment of heat-resistant protection systems to effectively combat the high-temperature damage caused by aerodynamic thermal loads. Currently, the most mature and widely used thermal protection technology is ablation thermal protection. However, ablation introduces surface roughness into the vehicle, significantly altering its aerodynamic characteristics and increasing drag and surface heat flux. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the impact of surface roughness when predicting the aerodynamic characteristics of hypersonic vehicles. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) combined with classical turbulence models to solve the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANS equations) is the most commonly used method in practical engineering for simulating the aerodynamic environment of aircraft. However, the roughness generated by ablation is relatively small, approximately 0.1 mm to 2 mm. Directly simulating the flow around this roughness would require an enormous amount of computation, making this method unsuitable for engineering applications. One efficient and accurate method for simulating the aerodynamic characteristics of rough walls is to introduce the roughness effect by adding a roughness correction to the classical RANS equations (i.e., the rough-wall RANS equations). In the rough-wall RANS equations, only the wall boundary conditions of the turbulence model need to be modified to introduce the roughness effect, without the need for detailed simulation of small-scale flows around the rough wall. The computational cost is comparable to that of the classical RANS equations simulating smooth-wall flows. However, existing rough-wall RANS equations are proposed for low-speed incompressible flows and are not applicable to hypersonic flows. Furthermore, the classical rough-wall RANS equations significantly overestimate the predicted thermal flux of the rough wall (i.e., over-predicted thermal flux). This phenomenon is effectively addressed by the variable turbulence Prandtl number method proposed by Aupoix under low-speed conditions, but it still exists in hypersonic flows.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0046] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0047] The classic RANS equations for rough walls are based on the k-ω turbulence model. In the original k-ω turbulence model simulating smooth surfaces, the turbulent kinetic energy k and specific dissipation rate ω at the wall are relatively large to ensure that the turbulent kinetic energy k is zero in regions very close to the wall. The ω at the wall is then modified as follows:
[0048] (1)
[0049] in, The wall shear rate; v The kinematic viscosity at the wall surface; S R These are the model parameters.
[0050] The original larger value was changed to a value similar to the parameter.S R The relevant finite values. As the specific dissipation rate decreases at and near the wall, the turbulence simulated by the RANS equations intensifies, leading to increased surface friction and heat flux. This is used to simulate the effect of roughness on surface resistance and heat flux. Parameters S R The determination depends on the key roughness function, using the wall shear velocity. u τ Define dimensionless velocity U + = u / u τ , u This represents the tangential velocity of the wall. (From...) u τ and wall kinematic viscosity coefficient n w Define dimensionless coordinates y + = u τ y / n w ,say U + along y + The distribution curve is velocity-type. y This represents the perpendicular distance from the point in the flow field to the wall. After the roughness causes an increase in wall stress, u τ It will increase with the increase of wall stress, therefore under rough wall conditions U + Compared to the case of a smooth wall under the same conditions, there will be a decrease Δ U + The rough function describes Δ U + Relationship with roughness height:
[0051] (2)
[0052] in, k It is a constant; The equivalent roughness height Reynolds number; This represents the roughness height.
[0053] Meanwhile, in RANS equation simulations, in low-speed flow, oh After the wall boundary conditions are changed to formula (1), Δ also appears in the RANS equations. U + , and Δ U + and SR They satisfy a logarithmic relationship:
[0054] (3)
[0055] By combining formulas (2) and (3) and simultaneously performing progressive correction on small roughness, a system can be established. S R and The relationship between them:
[0056] (4)
[0057] However, both formulas (2) and (3) are proposed for low-speed flow. In hypersonic flow, Mach number effect, wall heat transfer effect, etc. will affect ΔU + This has a significant impact. The hypersonic rough-wall turbulent boundary layer flow under different incoming Mach numbers and different wall temperature-recovery temperature ratios (wall temperature ratios) was simulated using a rough-wall RANS model. The drag increment results were compared between RANS and high-precision numerical simulations, using the results as a reference. Figure 1 As shown, (a) is the comparison result under different Mach number conditions and (b) is the comparison result under different wall temperature ratio conditions. It can be seen that the failure of formula (2) and formula (3) under supersonic conditions leads to the inaccuracy of the Wilcox rough wall RANS model in simulating rough wall resistance, especially under high Mach number and low wall temperature ratio conditions, the prediction error of resistance increment reaches up to 29.3%. Figure 2 The heat flux increment results of RANS and high-precision numerical simulation were compared. (a) shows the comparison results under different Mach number conditions, and (b) shows the comparison results under different wall temperature ratio conditions. It can be seen that the heat flux predicted by RANS is significantly higher under all conditions, with a maximum error of 81.4%.
[0058] The results and analysis above show that the rough-wall RANS model has large prediction errors for drag and heat flux under hypersonic conditions, indicating that the rough-wall RANS model is not suitable for hypersonic flow. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new rough-wall RANS model suitable for hypersonic flow to achieve accurate prediction of rough-wall drag and heat flux under hypersonic conditions.
[0059] This application proposes a method for predicting the drag and heat flux of rough walls under hypersonic conditions (i.e., a method for predicting the aerodynamic characteristics of rough walls in hypersonic vehicles). It mainly includes proposing rough wall ω-boundary conditions suitable for hypersonic flow to achieve accurate prediction of rough wall drag, and modifying the RANS energy equation to achieve accurate prediction of rough wall heat flux under hypersonic conditions.
[0060] rough walls ohThe boundary conditions still take the form of formula (1), but the parameters... S R The value needs to be changed. (This needs to be clarified.) S R The value of Δ depends on two aspects: firstly, in hypersonic rough-walled turbulent boundary layers, the influence of Δ... U + The key parameter for Δ U + and k s + The first step is to recalibrate the roughness function, i.e., to propose a new roughness function suitable for hypersonic flows; the second step is to analyze the influence of Δ on hypersonic flows in RANS simulations. U + The key parameter for Δ U + and S R The relationship is redefined. Finally, a new Δ is applied. U + and k s + and Δ U + and S R The calibration relation was established. S R and k s + The relationship ultimately established the rough wall suitable for hypersonic flow. oh Boundary conditions.
[0061] In the correction of the RANS energy equation, the heat flux decomposition method is first used to analyze the main factors leading to over-prediction of heat flux in the rough wall RANS model. This identifies the dominant term in the RANS energy equation causing over-prediction of heat flux, and appropriate correction coefficients are used to correct this dominant term, thereby achieving accurate prediction of heat flux in rough walls under hypersonic conditions. Combining the newly proposed rough wall ω boundary condition applicable to hypersonic flow with the corrected RANS energy equation, accurate prediction of hypersonic rough wall drag and heat flux is achieved.
[0062] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a method for predicting the aerodynamic characteristics of a hypersonic vehicle with rough walls is provided, including the following steps:

[0065] S3: Based on the smooth surface hypersonic vehicle model, the roughness height, and the corrected surface wetting area ratio, combined with the hypersonic rough wall RANS model, computational fluid dynamics methods are used to simulate the flow field around the rough-surfaced hypersonic vehicle to be predicted, obtaining simulation data. The simulation data includes the velocity distribution and temperature distribution of the flow field.
[0066] S4: Perform post-processing on the simulation data to obtain the drag and heat flux of the hypersonic vehicle to be predicted with a rough surface.
[0067] In this embodiment, the simulated data is post-processed. Heat flux density is calculated from the temperature gradient and thermal conductivity at the wall surface, and frictional drag is calculated from the velocity gradient and viscosity coefficient at the wall surface. The total frictional drag and pressure drag of the entire vehicle are obtained by area integration of the frictional drag and wall pressure distribution. This allows for the determination of the drag and heat flux of the predicted hypersonic vehicle with a rough surface.

[0080] S24: Determine the velocity profile downward displacement based on the equivalent roughness height Reynolds number and the wall temperature ratio.
[0081] As an optional implementation, S24 specifically includes:

Δ U + This represents the downward displacement of the velocity profile. A and B These are model parameters; , .
[0086] This application primarily focuses on the field of aerodynamic characteristic prediction methods for hypersonic vehicles, proposing a method for predicting drag and heat flux of rough walls under hypersonic conditions, thus improving the accuracy of drag and heat flux prediction using roughness RANS models under hypersonic conditions. This application is mainly divided into two parts. The first part achieves accurate drag prediction of supersonic rough walls, including two steps: firstly, under hypersonic conditions, by recalibrating Δ... U + and k s + The relationship, and secondly, under hypersonic conditions, calibrating Δ U + and S R The relationship. Through the simultaneous Δ U + and k s + Δ U + and SR The first part establishes the ω-boundary condition of the RANS model for hypersonic rough walls, enabling accurate prediction of drag on rough walls. The second part modifies the energy equation of the rough wall RANS model to achieve accurate prediction of heat flux on hypersonic rough walls. Ultimately, this application realizes a method for predicting drag and heat flux on rough walls under hypersonic conditions.
[0087] Step 1: Calibrate Δ under hypersonic conditions U + and k s + Relationship

The first set of data is from Wang and Gao (Wang, Y., and Gao, Z., “Roughness Effects on Compressible Turbulent Boundary Layers under Different Mach Numbers and Wall Temperature Conditions”). Fluid Physics The first group presents the high-precision numerical simulation results from the journal *[Journal Name]*, Vol. 36, No. 2, 2024, p. 025144., with flow conditions and results shown in Table 1. The second group consists of data from Modesti et al. (Modesti, D., Sathyanarayana, S., Salvadore, F., and Bernardini, M., “Direct Numerical Simulation of Supersonic Turbulent Flowsover Rough Surfaces”). Journal of Fluid Mechanics The high-precision numerical simulation results of the paper (Vol. 942, 2022, p. A44.) are shown in Table 2. The flow conditions and results are as follows.
[0089] When the wall surface changes from smooth to rough, it usually causes a significant increase in wall drag, which in turn causes a downward shift in the velocity profile Δ. U + ΔU + It is directly related to the increase in drag caused by roughness. In incompressible flow, Δ U + and k s + A relation that satisfies the logarithmic form is usually called a rough function, and its form is shown in formula (5).

[0102] The boundary conditions of the rough wall RANS model are determined by formula (8).

However, in hypersonic flow, Figure 5 Numerical experimental results show that, except for the parameters S R Outside, Δ U + It is also affected by Mach number and wall temperature ratio. Under supersonic conditions, it is necessary to... S R With Δ U + The relationship is recalibrated. This application introduces a compressibility correction factor. α , α Defined as 2k s The average variation of internal density and viscosity coefficient is shown in Equation (10).

[0110] (11)
[0111] This completes the analysis of RANS under hypersonic conditions. oh Boundary conditions and Δ U + Recalibration. By simultaneously solving Δ U + and k s + The relation (formula (6)) and Δ U + and S R The relationship (Formula (11)) can be used to establish the relationship between the actual roughness height and the input parameters in the rough wall RANS model. S R The relationship between them.
[0112] (12)
[0113] At the same time k s + When the size is relatively small, corrections are made to establish a RANS model suitable for simulating hypersonic rough-walled turbulent boundary layer flow. oh The boundary conditions are shown in Equation (13). The model can achieve this without capturing the fine flow structure around the roughness, simply by inputting the roughness height. k s This allows for the use of the RANS model for rough-walled flow under hypersonic conditions to represent the Δ...

U + Definition, It can be seen that the downward displacement of the velocity profile caused by roughness is Δ U + This is because increased roughness increases the resistance of the wall surface. t w This is the cause. Therefore, the model achieves the effect of Δ U + Accurate simulation is equivalent to achieving accurate prediction of the resistance of rough walls.
[0114] (13)
[0115] Step 3: Correcting the energy equation of the rough-walled RANS model improves the accuracy of heat flow prediction.
[0116] When the wall surface changes from smooth to rough, the roughness not only causes a change in drag but also increases the heat flux. Furthermore, the increase in heat flux caused by roughness is significantly lower than the increase in drag. After correcting the wall boundary conditions in steps 1 and 2, the predicted change in heat flux becomes comparable to the change in drag. Therefore, other methods are still needed to improve the model's accuracy in predicting heat flux over rough walls.
[0117] The problem of overestimating heat flux prediction exists in both low-speed and hypersonic flows. Methods to correct for this overestimation (Aupoix, B., and Spalart, PR, “Extensions of the Spalart–Allmaras Turbulence Model to Account for Wall Roughness”) address this issue. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow (Li, J., Yu, M., Sun, D., Liu, P., Yuan, X., 2022.) successfully achieved accurate prediction of heat flow in rough walls under low-speed conditions. However, in hypersonic flow, in addition to the turbulent heat conduction term, the Reynolds stress work term also has a significant impact on wall heat flow (Li, J., Yu, M., Sun, D., Liu, P., Yuan, X., 2022. Wall heattransfer in high-enthalpy hypersonic turbulent boundary layers. Physics of Fluids 34, 085102.).
[0118] Therefore, under hypersonic conditions, the method for correcting the turbulent heat conduction term is applied to both the turbulent heat conduction term and the Reynolds stress work term. The scaling factor is defined as... β r , β rThe calculation is shown in formula (14).
[0119] (14)
[0120] in, Pr t,smooth Δ is the Prandtl number for turbulence, taken as a constant of 0.9. Pr t The change in Prandtl number caused by roughness is calculated as follows:
[0121] (15)
[0122] Where, Δ U + The roughness height and wall temperature conditions can be calculated using formula (6). α The compressibility correction factor calculated in step 2 can be obtained from the simulated flow field using formula (10). A and B are model parameters, and their calculation methods are as follows:
[0123] (16)
[0124] (17)
[0125] in, S corr The corrected surface wetted area ratio characterizes the relative increase in surface wetted area above the average height due to roughness, and is a shape parameter describing the roughness profile. The corrected energy equation is given below; the main difference between it and the uncorrected energy equation lies in the turbulent heat conduction term. and the work done by Reynolds stress Use scaling factor β r It has been scaled down.
[0126] (18)
[0127] in, m t The turbulent viscosity coefficient; C p It is a specific heat at constant pressure; u For speed; h Net enthalpy; k It is turbulent kinetic energy; t ij It is viscous stress; t ij Reynolds stress; s For the original k - oh Parameters of the turbulence model.
[0128] parameter β r The value of is less than 1, so the turbulent transport term and the Reynolds stress work term in the energy equation are suppressed, and the simulated wall heat flux will decrease accordingly. This can solve the problem of the heat flux prediction of the supersonic rough wall RANS model being too high and improve the accuracy of the model's prediction of wall heat flux.
[0129] In summary, this application achieves accurate prediction of drag in a hypersonic rough wall RANS model by proposing new wall boundary conditions in steps 1 and 2; and achieves accurate prediction of heat flux in a hypersonic rough wall RANS model by modifying the energy equation in step 3. These two parts are independent of each other, and their simultaneous application enables accurate prediction of drag and heat flux in hypersonic rough walls.
[0130] The method for predicting heat flux from hypersonic rough wall resistance can be divided into the following steps:
[0131] Step a: First, obtain the parameters describing the roughness shape. k s , S corr .in, k s The shape parameters obtained from scanning the rough surface and the Driling fitting formula can be used for calculation. S corr The area of the rough surface obtained from the scan can be calculated as the ratio of the area of the original smooth surface. The local wall surface area can be calculated according to formula (5) in the CFD code. k s + .
[0132] Step b: Add the calculation of the local compressibility correction factor of the wall according to formula (10) in the code. α Then, according to formula (13), based on the input roughness height Reynolds number... k s + Calculation parameters S R , by parameters S R Calculate according to formula (8) oh The value of is used as oh The value at the local wall surface.
[0133] Step c: From the input k s + and T w / T aw Calculate Δ according to formula (6)U + , and by input S corr Calculate the parameters according to formulas (16) and (17). A and parameters B The size is determined by A , B and Δ U + Calculate Δ according to formula (15) Pr t Then calculate the scaling factor according to formula (14). β r When calculating viscous flux, the corresponding turbulent heat conduction term and Reynolds stress work term are multiplied by a scaling factor. β r .
[0134] After completing the above steps, the hypersonic rough-wall RANS model is embedded in the CFD code. After embedding the hypersonic rough-wall RANS model, in the CFD simulation, a smooth-surfaced hypersonic vehicle model can be used, along with input roughness shape parameters. k s , S corr We conducted flow field simulations around a hypersonic vehicle with a rough surface. The drag and heat flux of the vehicle with a rough surface can be obtained using conventional data post-processing.
[0135] The following uses the high-precision numerical simulation results of Wang and Gao as a benchmark to verify the accuracy of the hypersonic rough wall RANS model in predicting the drag and heat flux of a rough-walled flat plate under different Mach numbers and wall temperatures. The flow conditions are consistent with those in Table 1. The simulation results of the drag increment caused by roughness are compared between the modified model and the original model as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the modified rough-wall RANS model significantly improves the accuracy of drag prediction under hypersonic conditions, reducing the prediction error from a maximum of 29.3% in the original model to below 4%. A comparison of the predicted heat flux increments by the modified and original models is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the revised model significantly improves the accuracy of predicting heat flux increments. The prediction error has decreased from 50.2%~81.4% to below 11%.
[0136] Subsequently, numerical simulations were conducted using Holden's hypersonic flow around a rough-walled cone to verify the accuracy of the rough-walled RANS model. Two flow conditions were selected, with an incoming Mach number of 7.9, an incoming temperature of 81.11 K, and an incoming pressure of 2544.17 Pa in both conditions. The ratio of wall temperature to total temperature was also specified. T w / T 0 The values are 0.2 and 0.3 respectively. The model dimensions are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, head blunt radius R n =0.00254mm, equivalent roughness height is 0.203mm, S corr It is 1.17. Figure 10 The results obtained from the RANS model of the rough wall under the modified wall temperature condition are given. St The number distribution was analyzed and compared with the results calculated by the original model and the results of wind tunnel experiments. Figure 10 It can be seen that the corrected rough-wall RANS model has a significantly improved accuracy in predicting heat flux in hypersonic boundary layers compared to the original model.
[0137] The beneficial effects of this application compared to related technologies are as follows:
[0138] This improves the prediction accuracy of the rough-wall RANS model for surface drag under hypersonic conditions. By analyzing the Δ under hypersonic conditions... U + With description of roughness height k s + RANS boundary condition parameters S R The parameters in the rough wall RANS model were recalibrated and established. S R With input k s + The relationship between them established a rough wall RANS model applicable to hypersonic flow. oh Boundary conditions improve the accuracy of drag prediction under hypersonic conditions.
[0139] The accuracy of the RANS model for predicting surface heat flux under hypersonic conditions has been improved. By introducing correction coefficients into the turbulent heat conduction and Reynolds stress work terms in the RANS energy equation, the problem of over-predicting heat flux under hypersonic conditions is effectively solved, and the model's prediction accuracy for heat flux over rough walls is significantly improved.
