Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind tunnel special testing technology, specifically a jet-controlled high-pressure air supply device for wind tunnel testing. Background Technology
[0002] Due to their superior aerodynamic performance and excellent stealth capabilities, flying wing aircraft represent the future trend in aircraft development. With advancements in engine technology, jet control is increasingly being employed to enhance handling performance. Jet control experiments offer highly reliable data, based on physical models and real fluid environments. The test results are intuitive and closely reflect actual engineering scenarios. Comprehensive testing standards and equipment exist, with standardized operating procedures and strong repeatability. Furthermore, the interaction between the jet and the mainstream, as well as flow separation, can be directly observed, avoiding simplification errors inherent in numerical simulations.
[0003] In existing technologies, jet control testing is costly, with high expenses for building physical models, renting test equipment, and subsequent maintenance, and long test cycles; it lacks flexibility, as it is difficult to quickly adjust jet parameters once the model is completed, making it unsuitable for various working environments; it is limited by equipment size and power, making it difficult to simulate extreme working conditions; it relies on professional sensors and analysis systems, requiring high skill levels from operators, and data processing is time-consuming; moreover, it often adopts an internal balance plus air bridge structure, which is complex in design, occupies a large internal space of the model, and is not suitable for the limited space of flying wing aircraft.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a high-pressure air supply device for jet-controlled wind tunnel testing to solve the problems of large space occupation and significant interference with force balance measurements in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The needle valve 14 is disposed inside the housing 21, and the needle valve position feedback module 17, drive motor 15, and motor control module 16 are connected sequentially from left to right at the outer end of the housing 21.
[0048] The needle valve position feedback module 17 transmits a signal to the motor control module 16, which remotely controls the drive motor 15. The drive motor 15 drives the needle valve 14, and by changing the flow area of the flow channel, the flow rate of the high-pressure gas supply is adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the jet speed and flow rate of the jet slit.
[0049] The high-pressure gas flow measurement device 4 is equipped with a Laval nozzle 18, and a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are installed at the throat, which can accurately measure the mass flow rate of the high-pressure gas supply.

[0051] The jet rectifier cavity and jet flow field simulation device 7 include a branch gas supply pipeline 11, a jet rectifier device 12, and a jet flow field simulation cavity 13;
[0052] Gas flows from the gas supply disturbance elimination pipeline 8 to the branch gas supply pipeline 11, passes through the jet rectification device 12 and flows into the jet flow field simulation cavity 13, and flows out from the surface of the jet flow field simulation cavity 13.
[0053] More specifically: the high-pressure gas supply pipeline 1 is connected to the high-pressure gas flow control device 2 via a flange, and the connecting pipeline 3 is connected to the high-pressure gas flow control device 2, the high-pressure gas flow measurement device 4, and the multi-port voltage stabilizing and rectifying device 5 via a flange. O-rings are provided at the connection points to ensure that no gas leaks at the connection points.

[0060] More specifically: the surface of the jet rectifier 12 adopts the Vickers formula contraction curve to make the gas flow in the device uniform.
[0061] More specifically: the maximum working pressure of the high-pressure air supply device for the jet control wind tunnel test is 1.5 MPa, the flow control range is 0-500 g / s, and the control accuracy is ±0.5 g / s.

[0063] Before the high-pressure air enters the jet rectification cavity and jet flow field simulation device 7, in order to achieve the uniformity of the simulated flow field and aerodynamic force measurement, the airflow first enters the multi-port voltage stabilizing and rectification device 5 for rectification, then enters the jet aerodynamic force measurement device 6 to measure the aerodynamic force generated by the jet, and finally flows out of the model surface through the jet rectification cavity and jet flow field simulation device 7 to form the target jet flow field.
