TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of test environment construction of aero-engine components, and relates to a dynamic variable-speed inlet test method and system under continuous air extraction conditions. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the "breathing tract" of a modern air-breathing aircraft, the inlet needs to capture and preliminarily compress the oxidizer (O2) necessary for combustion in flight. The captured air flow and the inlet outlet flow field quality must meet the corresponding index requirements to ensure that the engine can continuously and stably provide flight power. In the key and high-risk task links of the aircraft, the flight speed and attitude continuously change according to the task requirements, the air flow captured by the inlet and the outlet flow field quality change greatly, which has a crucial influence on the stable work and thrust continuity of the engine, and is one of the keys to the successful completion of the flight task.
[0003] In the working envelope of a modern aircraft inlet, the flight speed is usually supersonic or higher, so a key to carrying out the inlet test is to simulate and build the flow field with a flow speed exceeding the local sound speed. Therefore, the wind tunnel needs to be equipped with nozzles with different designed outlet flow speeds. According to the aerodynamic principle, when the flow speed is lower than the local sound speed, a convergent nozzle needs to be used, and the gas pressure at the nozzle inlet needs to be adjusted by a valve to adjust the flow speed. However, when the test flow speed exceeds the sound speed, the gas pressure is no longer the only factor that determines the flow speed, and a Laval nozzle that converges and then diverges in the flow passage section needs to be used, so the flow field exceeding the sound speed needs to be built by adjusting the pressure and matching the nozzle profile, which is different from the case in a low-speed wind tunnel where the flow speed can be adjusted only by adjusting the incoming flow pressure.
[0004] The traditional wind tunnel carries out a steady-state inlet blowing test at a fixed speed exceeding the local sound speed, and obtains the steady-state performance of the inlet through a series of discrete fixed-speed, attitude angle and internal geometric feature state tests. The operation process is as follows: before the test, the nozzle profile corresponding to the test flow speed is installed or adjusted; after the test starts, the inlet pressure section is adjusted to establish a flow field corresponding to the required flow speed, the attitude angle and other geometric parameters are adjusted, and the test data is recorded; the inlet pressure section is cut off, the next nozzle profile corresponding to the flow speed is installed or adjusted, and the test under the next flow speed condition is carried out. This method usually needs to stop the air supply, remove the seal, adjust the flow passage profile, seal, supply the air, and adjust the pressure to obtain a new speed flow field before the test is carried out.
[0005] With the development of aviation and aerospace technology, in the key and high-risk task links of aircraft take-off, landing, climbing, diving and fighting, the flight parameters change rapidly, and the risk and difficulty of stable and continuous power output of the engine are significantly higher than those in the steady state and constant speed working condition. In this case, the performance of the inlet will also deteriorate significantly. The performance data obtained by the constant speed steady state blowing test deviates from the real flight performance, which makes the inlet-engine matching and the overall matching of the aircraft-engine also deviate, and cannot meet the needs of researchers to obtain and evaluate the dynamic performance and flow field characteristics of the inlet under the condition of continuous change of flight speed. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out dynamic performance test of the inlet with continuous change of speed to obtain the performance parameters and their change rules under the real working condition of the inlet.
[0006] However, there are two difficulties in carrying out continuous and dynamic speed test in the range of speed exceeding the sound speed by using traditional test devices and methods. On the one hand, the speed regulation of traditional inlet test is realized by changing the nozzle profile and matching the inlet and outlet pressure ratio. The nozzle profile, inlet and outlet pressure and flow rate influence each other, and the speed and accuracy requirements of the dynamic matching process of parameters are high, the realization difficulty is great, and the test risk is high. On the other hand, the wind tunnel using high-pressure gas tank for gas supply and vacuum tank for gas extraction needs to meet the operation of long duration, high speed and large wind port size, and the construction and operation cost is extremely high. It is appropriate to use the continuous gas supply and extraction mode of the unit. However, the gas supply unit and the gas extraction unit for ensuring the test operation are large and high-value equipment, so it is extremely difficult to adjust the working condition of the unit according to the requirements of test speed, pressure and flow rate, and it has a serious negative impact on the operation life of the unit, resulting in very high test cost and risk.
[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to develop an inlet dynamic test method that meets the requirement of continuous change of speed. SUMMARY
[0008] In order to solve the technical problems of high operation cost, high risk and large deviation of results caused by the traditional method which usually needs to go through the process of stopping gas, unsealing, adjusting the flow passage profile, sealing, gas supply and pressure regulation before a new speed flow field is obtained and then the test is carried out, the application discloses an inlet test method under continuous gas supply and extraction condition.

The absolute value of the change of the vent valve flow rate due to the change of the main flow rate is equal to the absolute value of the change of the main flow rate, and the change direction is opposite, so that the test device supply end pressure and flow rate and the extraction end pressure and flow rate are basically maintained unchanged after the balance.

If necessary, the control parameters of each sub-model can be adjusted to optimize the control model.
