TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of experimental fluid mechanics, and particularly relates to a device and method for realizing transition inducement analysis of hypersonic flow field. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hypersonic wind tunnel test is the main means for carrying out related aerodynamic basic research and hypersonic vehicle engineering design. Its biggest advantage is that a large number of ground tests can be carried out at a relatively low cost to obtain relevant aerodynamic / thermal physical laws and provide basic measurement data for aerodynamic research and vehicle engineering design.
[0003] Transition phenomenon refers to the process of transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow after the hypersonic flow field passes through the model surface. The measurement of transition position, the research of transition process and the analysis of transition inducement law are of great significance for predicting and controlling the generation and development of transition, and based on the research foundation, the flight resistance of hypersonic vehicles can be optimized and the related performance can be improved.
[0004] At present, the test means for transition in the wind tunnel mainly concentrates on infrared temperature measurement technology to realize the visualization of transition position. There is a limitation of insufficient analysis test means for transition changes caused by aerodynamic heat / model surface topography changes, so that most of the tests are in the stage of "knowing the phenomenon but not knowing the reason", and the hypersonic wind tunnel lacks devices and methods for this problem, which restricts the further development of related tests.
[0005] In summary, it is urgent to design a device and method capable of analyzing the transition change law in hypersonic wind tunnel transition test, and breaking through the limitation of insufficient transition change inducement analysis test means. SUMMARY

It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0027] Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1 This embodiment is a device for realizing hypersonic flow field transition cause analysis, which comprises a time sequence controller 1, a thermocouple 3, a model 4, a computer 5, a high-repetition-rate pulsed laser 6, a high-speed infrared camera 9 and a high-speed imaging camera 10.
[0028] The model 4 is provided with a thermocouple 3 at the front end, and the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 are placed at the upper left of the model 4, and the high-repetition-rate pulsed laser 6 is placed at the upper right.
[0029] The high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 is provided with a beam expander 8, and the laser beam 7 emitted by the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 is expanded by the beam expander 8 to form a cone that covers the entire surface of the model 4 to be measured;
[0030] The high-speed imaging camera 10 is provided with a narrow-band filter 2 at the front end, and the field of view is consistent with the high-speed infrared camera 9;
[0031] The thermocouple 3, the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 are connected to the time sequence controller 1 through the BNC trigger line; the thermocouple 3, the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 are connected to the computer 5 through the data transmission control line.
[0032] Further, the frequency and instantaneous synchronicity of the thermocouple 3, the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 are consistent.
[0033] Further, the center wavelength of the transmission spectrum of the narrow-band filter is the wavelength of the laser of the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, which can ensure that the high-speed imaging camera 10 only collects the image of the surface topography change of the model 4 to be measured, and is not disturbed by other signals.
[0034] Embodiment 2, Reference Figure 1 This embodiment is a method for analyzing the transition inducement of hypersonic flow field, which is realized by relying on the device for analyzing the transition inducement of hypersonic flow field in embodiment 1, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0035] S1. Install the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 on the wind tunnel chamber, ensure that the fields of view of the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 are consistent, the field of view is the surface of the model 4 to be measured, and the laser beam 7 emitted by the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 can cover the surface of the model 4 after being expanded by the beam expander 8; based on the time sequence of the surface topography image of the model 4 to be measured, the image is processed by the Canny edge detection algorithm, the total length of all recognized edge lines is calculated to obtain a quantitative index about the surface roughness, and a curve representing the change of the model roughness with time is established; install the thermocouple 3 in the front laminar flow area of the model 4; the thermocouple 3 can record the model temperature in real time, and the temperature change is mainly caused by the aerodynamic heating of the hypersonic flow field; based on the time sequence of the temperature recording data, a curve of the model 4 temperature changing with time can be obtained;
[0036] S2. Using the computer to control the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, the high-speed infrared camera 9, the high-speed imaging camera 10 and the thermocouple 3, the time sequence controller 1 realizes the synchronous work of the high-speed infrared camera 9, the high-speed imaging camera 10, the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 and the thermocouple 3, and ensures that the temperature collected by the thermocouple 3, the infrared image collected by the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the model 4 topography image collected by the high-speed imaging camera 10 at the same time are stored in the computer 5; the infrared image collected by the high-speed infrared camera 9 can be used to determine the transition position, because the heat transfer efficiency of laminar and turbulent airflow is different, there will be a very obvious temperature jump from low to high before and after the transition position, so the position of the maximum temperature gradient of the surface of the model 4 is the transition position; based on the time sequence of the infrared image, the curve of the transition position changing with time can be obtained;
[0037] S3. After the test starts, the time sequence controller 1 receives the trigger signal of the wind tunnel to start working, and the synchronous data collected by the high-speed infrared camera 9, the high-speed imaging camera 10 and the thermocouple 3 are stored in the computer 5;
[0038] S4. Through data processing, the curves of the transition position, the model 4 temperature and the model 4 surface relative roughness on the time axis are obtained, and the causes of the transition at different times are analyzed by comparing and analyzing the three curves.
[0039] Embodiment 3, reference Figure 1 This embodiment uses a device for realizing hypersonic flow field transition cause analysis in a hypersonic wind tunnel to perform a Mach 6.0 flow field transition measurement test, and studies whether the main cause of the transition of the surface of the aircraft model is the flow field aerodynamic heating or the model surface ablation topography change. Based on this requirement, the experiment is carried out, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0040] S1. Install the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 on the wind tunnel chamber, ensure that the fields of view of the high-speed infrared camera 9 and the high-speed imaging camera 10 are consistent, and the laser beam 7 emitted by the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 can cover the surface of the model 4 after being expanded by the beam expander 8, and install the thermocouple 3 in the front laminar flow area inside the model 4; wherein the laser wavelength of the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 is 532 nm, the filter installed on the high-speed imaging camera 10 is a 532±5 nm narrow band filter, and the high-speed imaging camera 10 only collects the diffuse reflection of the 532 nm laser on the surface of the model 4 when collecting the surface topography of the model 4;
[0041] S2. Using the computer to control the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6, the high speed infrared camera 9, the high speed imaging camera 10 and the thermocouple 3, the synchronous work of the high speed infrared camera 9, the high speed imaging camera 10, the high repetition rate pulsed laser 6 and the thermocouple 3 is realized based on the time sequence controller 1, the working acquisition frequency is 1 kHz, and it is ensured that the temperature collected by the thermocouple 3, the infrared image collected by the high speed infrared camera 9 and the model 4 topographic image collected by the high speed imaging camera 10 at the same time are stored in the computer 5;
[0042] S3. After the test starts, the time sequence controller 1 receives the trigger signal of the wind tunnel to start working, the test time is 30s, and the synchronous data collected by the high speed infrared camera 9, the high speed imaging camera 10 and the thermocouple 3 are stored in the computer 5;
[0043] S4. Through data processing, 30,000 groups of data of infrared images (transition position), model surface topographic images (ablation degree) and model temperature (aerodynamic heating condition) corresponding to the time axis are collected; after the test is completed, the above data is unfolded on the time axis and the change trend is observed, the influence weight of the ablation degree and the aerodynamic heating change on the transition position is analyzed, the cause of the transition is analyzed, and the transition law under the working condition is obtained.
[0044] The present application solves the problem of insufficient analysis of transition change caused by aerodynamic heating, model surface topographic change and other factors in the existing hypersonic wind tunnel transition test, and realizes the synchronous analysis of transition position, model surface topography and model aerodynamic heating data on the time axis through synchronous data collection of the high speed imaging camera, the high speed infrared camera and the thermocouple.
[0045] The present application breaks through the limitation of insufficient transition change cause analysis test means, and provides support for in-depth study of transition cause law.
