Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft thermal protection, and more particularly to a design method, device and medium for aircraft thermal protection structures. Background Technology

[0002] A rapid design and optimization method for integrated thermal protection structures of aircraft is proposed, based on theoretical calculations of one-dimensional transient heat conduction under the conditions of temperature and adiabatic boundaries. The design and topology optimization of thermal insulation structures containing phase change materials (PCMs) present an integrated thermal protection design scheme, and its effectiveness is verified through transient heat transfer analysis. One existing method involves optimizing the macroscopic temperature field of the leading edge component using a three-dimensional orthogonal woven ceramic matrix composite material and co-designing the mesoscopic woven structure to reduce the temperature of the leading edge component, effectively lowering the leading edge temperature without additional cooling measures. This method of optimizing thermal protection performance using macroscopic temperature field optimization and co-designing the mesoscopic woven structure is suitable for the integrated design of temperature field and thermally conductive material structures. However, most thermal protection schemes consider mature materials, and such schemes significantly increase manufacturing costs from design to production and even testing. Another existing method designs a diamond-shaped forced transition zone at the leading edge of the rudder shaft based on the heat flux value at the stagnation point of the entire trajectory of the aircraft for active cooling design. Current rapid design and optimization methods for integrated thermal protection structures oversimplify boundary conditions and only consider single-layer thermal protection structures, which differs significantly from actual design solutions. The design and topology optimization of thermal insulation structures containing phase change materials utilizes ANSYS software for thermal protection effect analysis, which is costly for complex materials. The primary focus is on designing a diamond-shaped forced transition zone at the leading edge of the rudder shaft based on the heat flux values ​​at the stagnation points throughout the aircraft's trajectory; this approach does not consider the internal thermal protection structure design.

[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Technical terms:

[0050] Thermal radiation: Electromagnetic radiation produced due to heat.

[0051] Thermal conduction: The process by which energy is transferred from a hotter part of an object to a colder part due to the collisions of a large number of molecules, atoms or electrons.

[0052] Thermal convection: The process of heat exchange between a fluid and a solid when the fluid flows over the surface of the solid.

[0053] Thermal protection: The basic purpose of thermal protection is to ensure the safety of the aircraft and to keep the internal payload or instruments and equipment within the permissible temperature and pressure range.

[0054] Thermal conductivity: Under steady-state heat transfer conditions, for a 1m thick material with a temperature difference of 1℃ between its two surfaces, how much heat is transferred through the 1m thick material in a given time? 2 Heat transferred by area.

[0055] Emissivity: The ratio of the radiant flux emitted per unit area of ​​an object's surface to the radiant flux emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature.

[0056] Convective heat transfer coefficient: The heat transfer capacity between a fluid and a solid surface.

[0057] The inventors discovered that existing technologies mainly focus on one aspect of aerodynamics or thermal protection, designing the two directions separately. This can easily lead to redundant margins and over-protection, and lacks an integrated design method that considers the overall flight environment, thermal protection design, and cabin environment.

[0058] The inventors discovered that when an aircraft passes through the atmosphere during flight, its surface experiences aerodynamic heating, causing both surface and internal temperatures to rise. Excessive temperatures can malfunction the aircraft's instruments and equipment. The key to solving the "thermal barrier" problem is the rational design of a thermal protection system to ensure the aircraft's normal operation. The goal of aircraft thermal protection is to ensure that the internal structure of the aircraft remains within a safe temperature range; its design specification is that the internal temperature of the structure does not exceed the allowable temperature. The purpose of thermal protection heat transfer design calculations is twofold: 1. To calculate and analyze the transient temperatures of each internal structure; 2. To calculate the internal temperature of the thermal protection structure in order to evaluate its performance.

[0059] Through theoretical research and reasonable assumptions, the inventors established the physical and mathematical models corresponding to the implementation of this invention, and realized the thermal protection design of the aircraft based on the obtained models.

[0060] To achieve the above objectives, firstly, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a thermal protection design method for an aircraft, comprising:

[0061] Step S10: Perform aerodynamic and thermal calculations based on the flight conditions of the aircraft to obtain aerodynamic and thermal data;

[0062] Step S11: Determine the protective materials of each part of the thermal protection structure of the aircraft based on aerodynamic thermal data, and obtain the physical property parameters corresponding to the protective materials of each part of the thermal protection structure.

[0063] Step S12: Based on the aerodynamic thermal data and the physical property parameters of the protective materials of each part of the thermal protection structure, and based on the principles of thermal convection, thermal radiation and thermal conduction, analyze the thermal protection structure and determine the relationship between the temperature of the thermal protection structure and time.

[0064] Step S13: Compare the relationship between temperature and time with the preset thermal protection design requirements. If the relationship between temperature and time meets the preset thermal protection design requirements, output the relationship between temperature and time, the protective materials of each part of the thermal protection structure, and the corresponding physical property parameters.

[0065] In some embodiments, flight conditions include, but are not limited to: flight altitude, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric temperature, atmospheric density and / or aircraft speed; aerodynamic thermal data include, but are not limited to: aerodynamic thermal data such as cold wall heat flux, wall temperature, pressure distribution, velocity distribution and / or temperature distribution.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, aerodynamic and thermal calculations were performed on the exterior of the external thermal insulation layer 301 under the flight conditions of the aircraft to obtain aerodynamic and thermal data (i.e., Figure 3 (Q1 in the original text); Based on aerodynamic thermal data, the required operating temperature range for thermal protection materials can be determined, thereby determining the necessary physical properties of the materials. These physical properties include any one or more of thermal conductivity, density, specific heat capacity, and emissivity. These physical properties are inherent to each type of protective material and characterize its properties. Once a protective material is selected or determined based on aerodynamic thermal data, its corresponding physical properties are also determined.

[0067] Furthermore, based on aerodynamic thermal data, the required operating temperature range of the protective material can be determined, thereby selecting the appropriate type of protective material based on the corresponding operating temperature range, and subsequently determining the physical property parameters of the selected protective material.

[0068] The thermal protection structure of an aircraft may consist of one or more parts, and the protective material for each part needs to be determined. Once the protective material is determined, the corresponding thermal property parameters for each part can be obtained by searching conventional material thermal property data, or the parameters can be determined empirically. The thermal property data for the protective material can be in the form of documents or data sheets, such as using Excel to record the properties of metallic and non-metallic protective materials. Types of protective materials include gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber, asphalt, and paper honeycomb, among others. The properties include any one or more of the following: thermal conductivity, density, specific heat capacity, and emissivity.

[0069] Based on aerodynamic thermal data and the physical properties of the protective materials in each part of the thermal protection structure, and according to the principles of thermal convection, thermal radiation, and thermal conduction, the thermal protection structure is analyzed to determine its temperature-time relationship. This relationship is then compared with the preset thermal protection design requirements. If the temperature-time relationship meets the design requirements, the output includes the temperature-time relationship, the protective materials in each part of the thermal protection structure, and their corresponding physical properties. The preset thermal protection design requirements are predefined design parameters that the thermal protection structure must meet before designing the structure, including but not limited to the preset temperature-time relationship. The thermal protection structure can be pre-established through theoretical research, combined with reasonable assumptions, to establish corresponding physical and mathematical models.

[0070] The embodiments of this invention have the following technical effects: The coupled and integrated design of aerodynamics and thermal protection more closely approximates the actual physical process, resulting in higher design accuracy. Combining aerodynamics and thermal protection structure analysis and design solves the problem of redundant margins and over-protection caused by analyzing either aspect separately. Furthermore, aerodynamic data is obtained through aerodynamic calculations based on flight conditions. Considering not only the thermal protection structure and the cabin environment but also the influence of the flight environment, a more comprehensive integrated design from a holistic perspective is achieved, making the design results more accurate. The thermal protection structure based on this design has less redundancy and lower cost. The aerodynamic data and thermal protection structure data after each design are completed can be saved as thermal protection data, providing technical reference for the development of subsequent new models, greatly improving thermal design efficiency and offering strong scalability. Transient design calculations can be performed, which is more intuitive and accurate compared to steady-state calculations.

[0071] Furthermore, the design methods for aircraft thermal protection structures also include:

[0072] If the temperature-time relationship does not meet the design requirements, return to the step of determining the protective materials for each part of the aircraft's thermal protection structure based on aerodynamic thermal data to re-specify the protective materials, and continue with the steps following the determination of the protective materials for each part of the aircraft's thermal protection structure based on aerodynamic thermal data.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the design of a thermal protection structure may require multiple adjustments to the protective materials and corresponding physical property parameters of each part, the protective materials of each part can be readjusted. All or part of the protective materials can be adjusted, and after the new protective materials are determined, the subsequent steps can be performed to complete the new design and verification.

[0074] The embodiments of the present invention have the following technical effects: by combining the aforementioned thermal protection material data, the solution can be iterated quickly; the thermal protection structure solutions can be compared in all aspects from multiple dimensions such as gravity and temperature.

[0075] Furthermore, the thermal protection structure includes: an external insulation layer, an internal insulation layer, and a cavity layer between the external insulation layer and the internal insulation layer.

[0076] Optionally, the thermal protection structure may also include an intermediate thermal insulation layer located between the outer thermal insulation layer and the inner thermal insulation layer. The number of intermediate thermal insulation layers can be one, two, or multiple. Correspondingly, any type of cavity layer may be provided between the outer thermal insulation layer and the intermediate thermal insulation layer, between the intermediate thermal insulation layer and the inner thermal insulation layer, or between each intermediate thermal insulation layer, or without a cavity layer.

[0077] Based on aerodynamic thermal data and the physical properties of the protective materials in each part of the thermal protection structure, and according to the principles of thermal convection, thermal radiation, and thermal conduction, the relationship between the temperature of the thermal protection structure and time is analyzed and determined, including:

[0078] Based on the physical properties and aerodynamic thermal data of the protective materials of the external insulation layer, internal insulation layer, and cavity layer, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and thermal conduction analyses are performed on the external insulation layer, cavity layer, and internal insulation layer to determine the relationship between the temperature of the thermal protection structure and time.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the thermal protection structure includes: an outer thermal insulation layer 301, an inner thermal insulation layer 303, and a cavity layer 302 between the outer thermal insulation layer 301 and the inner thermal insulation layer 303; each layer has its own protective material; wherein, the protective material of the cavity layer can be, but is not limited to, air. Based on the determined aerodynamic thermal data and the protective materials and corresponding physical properties of each layer of the thermal protection structure, the relationship between the temperature of the thermal protection structure and time can be determined by analyzing each layer of the thermal protection structure in conjunction with the aerodynamic thermal data.

[0080] The embodiments of the present invention have the following technical effects: they can carry out the design of multi-layer thermal insulation materials with different thicknesses; they can clearly define the working time, thermal protection temperature and heat protection effect of each layer of thermal protection material, so as to carry out iterative optimization for each layer.

[0081] Furthermore, based on the physical properties and aerodynamic-thermal data of the protective materials of the external insulation layer, internal insulation layer, and cavity layer, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and thermal conduction analyses are performed on the external insulation layer, cavity layer, and internal insulation layer to determine the relationship between the temperature of the thermal protection structure and time, including:

[0082] Based on aerodynamic thermal data and the physical property parameters of the protective material of the external insulation layer, thermal convection and thermal radiation analysis were performed on the outer surface of the external insulation layer. The radiative heat transfer and convective heat transfer between the outer surface of the external insulation layer and the external environment were determined as the radiative heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment and the convective heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment.

[0083] The thermal conductivity of the external insulation layer is obtained by performing thermal conductivity analysis based on aerodynamic thermal data, radiative heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment, convective heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment, and the physical property parameters of the protective material of the external insulation layer.

[0084] Based on the thermal conductivity of the external insulation layer and the physical property parameters of the protective material of the cavity layer, the thermal conduction and thermal radiation of the cavity layer are analyzed to obtain the thermal conductivity and thermal radiation of the cavity layer.

[0085] Based on the thermal conductivity of the cavity layer, the radiative heat of the cavity layer, and the physical property parameters of the protective material of the internal insulation layer, the thermal conductivity of the internal insulation layer is analyzed.

[0086] Based on the thermal conductivity and protective material of the internal insulation layer, thermal convection and thermal radiation analysis of the internal insulation layer and the interior of the aircraft cabin are conducted to obtain the convective heat transfer between the internal insulation layer and the cabin and the radiative heat of the internal insulation layer.

[0087] Transient analysis was conducted based on aerodynamic thermal data, radiative heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment, thermal conduction of the external insulation layer, thermal conduction of the cavity layer, radiative heat of the cavity layer, thermal conduction of the internal insulation layer, convective heat transfer between the internal insulation layer and the cabin, and radiative heat of the internal insulation layer to obtain the relationship between the temperature of the aircraft's thermal protection structure and time.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the thermal protection structure includes: an outer thermal insulation layer 301, an inner thermal insulation layer 303, and a cavity layer 302 between the outer thermal insulation layer 301 and the inner thermal insulation layer 303; it can be based on aerodynamic thermal data (i.e. Figure 3 The Q1 of the thermal protection structure, along with the protective materials and corresponding physical properties of each layer, is analyzed sequentially from the outside in to determine the temperature change of the thermal protection structure over time. The external thermal insulation layer is the outermost layer of the aircraft, in contact with the air outside the aircraft. Aerodynamic heat acts on the surface of the outer wall 31 of the external thermal insulation layer. Simultaneously, there is convective and radiative heat transfer between the outer wall 31 of the external thermal insulation layer and the external air. Therefore, based on aerodynamic heat data and the corresponding physical properties of the protective materials of the external thermal insulation layer, thermal convection and radiation analysis of the outer surface of the external thermal insulation layer is required. This analysis determines the radiative and convective heat transfer between the outer surface of the external thermal insulation layer (i.e., the outer wall 31 of the external thermal insulation layer) and the external environment, corresponding to the radiative and convective heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment (the radiative and convective heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment are...). Figure 3(represented uniformly by Q2), thus, based on aerodynamic heat data, radiative heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment, convective heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment, and the physical property parameters corresponding to the protective material of the outer insulation layer, the thermal conductivity of the outer insulation layer Q3 can be obtained by performing thermal conductivity analysis on the outer insulation layer; the cavity layer 302 is located between the outer insulation layer and the inner insulation layer. The thermal conductivity of the outer insulation layer will act on the cavity layer 302 through the inner wall 32 of the outer insulation layer. The cavity layer 302 has both thermal conduction and thermal radiation. Based on the thermal conductivity of the outer insulation layer and the physical property parameters corresponding to the protective material of the cavity layer 302, the thermal conduction and thermal radiation of the cavity layer can be obtained by performing thermal conduction and thermal radiation analysis on the cavity layer (the thermal conduction and thermal radiation of the cavity layer are...). Figure 3 (represented uniformly by Q4) The heat conduction and radiation of the cavity layer will continue to act on the outer wall 33 of the internal insulation layer. Based on the heat conduction, radiation, and physical property parameters of the protective material of the cavity layer, the heat conduction of the internal insulation layer is analyzed to obtain the heat conduction Q5 of the internal insulation layer. The heat conduction of the internal insulation layer acts on the interior of the aircraft cabin through the inner wall 34 of the internal insulation layer via heat convection and heat radiation. Based on the heat conduction and protective material of the internal insulation layer, the relationship between the internal insulation layer and the aircraft is analyzed. Thermal convection and thermal radiation analyses were performed inside the cabin to obtain the convective heat transfer Q6 between the internal insulation layer and the cabin and the radiative heat Q7 of the internal insulation layer. After the aforementioned process, heat transfer analysis was performed on each layer of the thermal protection structure. Finally, based on aerodynamic thermal data, radiative heat transfer between the outer wall and the environment, thermal conduction of the external insulation layer, thermal conduction of the cavity layer, radiative heat of the cavity layer, thermal conduction of the internal insulation layer, convective heat transfer between the internal insulation layer and the cabin, and radiative heat of the internal insulation layer, transient analysis was performed to obtain the relationship between the temperature of the aircraft's thermal protection structure and time. The theoretical formulas used for the thermal convection analysis in this embodiment of the invention are: formula (1), the theoretical formulas used for the thermal radiation analysis are: formula (2), the theoretical formulas used for the thermal conduction analysis are: formula (3), and the theoretical formulas used for the transient analysis are: formula (4).

Finally, the parameters calculated at time t, such as the internal temperature and the mass of the thermal protection structure, are compared with the design requirements. If the design requirements are met, the calculation is complete, and the output results are provided. These output results include, but are not limited to, the changes in material thickness and wall temperature over time. Otherwise, the parameters of the thermal protection structure materials are changed, and the design calculation is repeated.
