Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the aerospace field, and specifically to a modeling method for calculating acoustic impedance on ablated surfaces of carbon-based composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Future hypersonic vehicles will evolve towards longer ranges, higher speeds, cross-domain capabilities, and greater maneuverability, presenting numerous new challenges to their thermal protection. This necessitates the development of sophisticated thermal environment prediction techniques. The boundary layer flow regime significantly impacts the aerodynamic and thermal environment of hypersonic vehicles. Aerodynamic heating in the turbulent region is far greater than in the laminar region, and peak heat flux often occurs in the flow transition region, reaching up to three times the laminar heat load at hypersonic speeds. Therefore, the thermal load order is: laminar region < turbulent region < transition region. Consequently, boundary layer transition is a crucial issue for predicting the aerodynamic and thermal environment of hypersonic vehicles.

[0003] The transition process during hypersonic flight is often triggered by second-mode instability. The second mode and its higher harmonics are considered to be sound waves that repeatedly expand and compress between relative sound velocity lines within the wall and boundary layer. Acoustic metasurfaces have surface micropores much smaller than the boundary layer thickness and the wavelength of the second-mode perturbation wave. The energy of the perturbation wave can be dissipated through the viscosity within the pores, and the surface microstructure can effectively absorb sound waves (metasurfaces are referred to internationally as ultrasonic absorbing coatings), thus effectively suppressing the second mode and delaying the transition. Carbon / carbon composite materials, due to their excellent oxidation resistance and specific strength, have been used in the thermal protection of hypersonic vehicles. Their naturally occurring pores on the surface hold promise for application in ultrasonic absorbing materials to suppress transition.

[0004] In 2001, Fedorov et al. proposed the acoustic properties of slender apertures and gave a model of the effect of a single aperture on the flow field and sound field: v y ’=A y P’ .in v The normal pulsation velocity of the wall. p For the wall sound field pressure, A yThe admittance is used. Based on this impedance boundary condition, the growth rate of the second mode can be predicted by combining linear stability analysis theory, thus obtaining the approximate location of the second mode instability region and achieving transition prediction. In 2003, Fedorov et al. conducted microstructure modeling research on metal felt materials, approximating the network structure of the internal metal fibers to a certain extent, and using the semi-empirical formula of acoustic impedance proposed by Allard et al. to give an impedance model of metal felt for transition prediction on the surface of metal felt. This impedance model assumes an orthogonal distribution of the microstructure of anisotropic fibers when solving for the shape parameters required by the model, and assumes that the fiber shape is a uniform diameter cylinder, which is significantly different from the internal fiber bundle microstructure of real ablated carbon-based thermal protection materials, thus reducing the prediction accuracy of the model. Therefore, it is currently necessary to further improve the impedance model for cases where the fiber bundle diameter varies non-uniformly along the axial direction and the fiber bundle arrangement is more complex, in order to improve the accuracy of acoustic impedance prediction for real fibrous porous materials, and thus better predict the transition of carbon-based material surfaces.
