Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of experimental fluid mechanics. More particularly, the present application relates to a design method of a special-shaped curved observation window for an internal flow field focusing schlieren test. BACKGROUND

[0002] The inlet duct is a key component of the ramjet engine, and its performance is crucial to the entire propulsion system. Among various types of inlet ducts, the internal turning inlet duct has the advantages of high flow capture, strong compression capability, small aerodynamic resistance, and easy interfacing with the combustion chamber, and has attracted extensive attention from scholars in the relevant fields at home and abroad. It has become the most promising type of air intake component for the integrated configuration of high-speed aircraft.

[0003] The design method of the internal turning inlet duct generally adopts the streamline tracking method and the streamline correction method to form the flow passage wall. The generated flow passage wall is obviously different from the conventional two-dimensional plane compression and axisymmetric compression. This wall is a spatial special-shaped curved surface. When the internal flow is compressed by this special-shaped curved surface, complex flow phenomena such as mutual interference between the spatial special-shaped curved shock wave and the boundary layer of the special-shaped wall, cross interference between the spatial special-shaped shock waves, and mutual interference between the special-shaped shock wave and the special-shaped expansion wave occur, making the internal flow field structure extremely complex. Obtaining the special-shaped curved internal flow field structure through experiments can provide direct support for verifying the design method of the internal turning inlet duct, revealing the flow mechanism of the internal turning inlet duct, and forming the flow field control technology of the internal turning inlet duct, and has been the direction of efforts of researchers.

[0004] Currently, there are mainly two ways to obtain the internal flow field structure and information of the internal turning inlet duct through experiments. One is contact measurement, such as measuring the flow field pressure or velocity by installing a probe or a wire in the internal flow field. The other is non-contact measurement, such as flow visualization by optical method through the glass window opened on the internal flow wall. As a complement, non-contact measurement is an indispensable measurement method. However, opening a window on the wall of the internal turning inlet duct, or designing a glass window on the wall of the internal turning inlet duct is a primary problem that needs to be solved for non-contact measurement.

[0005] In order to observe the internal flow field of the internal turning inlet duct, two types of glass windows are opened on the wall of the internal turning inlet duct. One is used for conventional schlieren test. However, due to the spatial complexity of the internal flow field of the internal turning inlet duct, the conventional schlieren test obtains the flow field of integral effect, and the display result cannot restore the spatial flow field. The other is used for focusing schlieren test. This method can obtain the slice effect of the spatial flow field, and the display result can be directly used for further research. Obviously, the glass window technology for the internal turning inlet duct adapted to the focusing schlieren test is more practical.

[0006] However, the inner turning inlet wall windowing technology for focusing schlieren test has always been a technical difficulty. This is because: the traditional planar glass window or regular curved glass window design will change the wall shape of the inner flow channel, causing the inner flow simulation distortion; the special-shaped curved glass window (patent application number: 201610458467.X, invention name: aircraft special-shaped curved inner flow channel flow field visualization glass observation window and design method) based on the design of plane wave (parallel light incidence and parallel light emission) can realize the shape preservation of the inner wall of the inner turning inlet, but can only obtain the integral total effect of the three-dimensional space complex flow field along the optical axis direction; the design technology of the special-shaped curved glass of the inner turning inlet wall windowing suitable for the focusing schlieren test is still in the blank of research.

[0166] 2.

[0167] 3. From the use occasion, the glass window designed by the prior art is suitable for the common schlieren optical system, mainly from invisible to visible, i.e. solving the problem that the internal flow visualization of the irregular shaped wall surface is blocked, while the glass window of the present application is suitable for the focusing schlieren optical system, mainly from visible to focusing, i.e. solving the problem of flow visualization of any cross section of the three-dimensional space flow field in the irregular shaped wall surface.

[0168] 4. From the design method, the prior art is basically the design method of the irregular shaped curved glass window based on the plane wave transmission and the distortion correction method of the flow field image, the irregular shaped curved glass only involves the parallel light transmission, not the convergent light, and the two glass windows are left-right symmetrical, so only one glass needs to be solved in the design; while the present application is the design method of the irregular shaped curved observation window based on the spherical wave transmission, the design process involves the iterative solution of the convergent point of the convergent light beam between the glass windows, and since the left glass window and the right glass window of the present application are not symmetrical, the design process needs to be solved respectively.
