AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies cannot extend the high-speed wind tunnel from the base Mach number to a lower Mach number without modifying the core components of the original wind tunnel. This results in problems such as high flow field pulsation in the stable section, the nozzle failing to function properly, and poor Mach number uniformity in the experimental section when the cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle throat increases.

Method used

By replacing the nozzle with a low Mach number nozzle and matching it with a newly added second-stage stabilizing section, the air is converted into a supersonic flow using the first throat. If the ratio of the first stabilizing section to the throat is within the target range, the air is converted into a subsonic flow using the first stabilizing section, and then the air is decelerated and accelerated to the target low Mach number flow field through the second stabilizing section and the target nozzle.

Benefits of technology

This enabled the high-speed wind tunnel to be extended from the basic Mach number to lower Mach numbers, reduced the flow field pulsation at the outlet of the stable section, and improved the flow field quality of the experimental section.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-speed wind tunnel technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and medium for extending a high-speed wind tunnel to a low Mach number using a Ludwig tube. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed aircraft experience low incoming flow noise in real flight environments. To simulate these environments and study high-speed boundary layer transition / turbulence mechanisms, high-speed wind tunnels with low incoming flow noise are necessary. However, current high-speed, low-noise, and quiet wind tunnels have relatively small nozzle diameters (300mm), limiting the simulated Reynolds numbers and failing to meet engineering application requirements. To improve the experimental capabilities and Reynolds numbers of high-speed, low-noise, and quiet wind tunnels, large-diameter low-noise and quiet wind tunnels (on the 600mm scale) need to be developed. Ludwig tube wind tunnels are widely used as the overall aerodynamic layout scheme for high-speed, low-noise, and quiet wind tunnels due to their advantages such as constant total pressure and temperature, simple structure, high operating efficiency, and good economy. To achieve multiple operating Mach numbers in a single wind tunnel, a common method is to keep the nozzle exit diameter constant while replacing it with different nozzle specifications. According to the Mach number-area relationship, higher Mach numbers correspond to smaller nozzle throat diameters.

[0003] Existing technology includes a Ludwig pipe wind tunnel and its extended high Mach number method. Based on the traditional Ludwig pipe wind tunnel (the upstream gas storage section is connected to the quick-opening valve and then directly connected to the downstream nozzle), a stabilization section is added. The stabilization section includes a stabilization section inlet section, a stabilization section throat, a stabilization section expansion section, and a stabilization section outlet section. The inlet diameter of the stabilization section is the same as the outlet diameter of the quick-opening valve. The internal contraction profile and throat of the stabilization section inlet are designed according to the basic Mach number of the wind tunnel. The outlet diameter of the stabilization section is the same as the diameter of the gas storage section and the inlet diameter of the nozzle, forming a stable subsonic flow field between the quick-opening valve and the nozzle. This invention can extend the operating Mach number of a Ludwig tube wind tunnel from the base Mach number to a higher Mach number (e.g., from the base Mach number 5 to 6, 7, 8, or 9, etc.) simply by replacing nozzles of different specifications (the inlet size is the same, the throat diameter is different, and the outlet size is the same between different nozzles) without changing other components of the Ludwig tube wind tunnel. At this time, the cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle throat becomes smaller, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the upstream stable section throat (i.e., the first throat) is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the downstream nozzle throat (i.e., the second throat). The limitation of this technology is that it can only be extended to higher Mach numbers (requiring the first throat cross-sectional area to be larger than the second throat cross-sectional area). If it is extended to lower Mach numbers, the increased nozzle throat cross-sectional area will have two adverse effects: First, the outlet diameter of the stable section, i.e. the nozzle inlet diameter, may not meet the nozzle contraction ratio requirements; second, the first throat cross-sectional area is smaller than the second throat cross-sectional area, resulting in supersonic jets in the stable section, which not only leads to high flow field pulsation in the stable section, but also causes the nozzle to malfunction, poor Mach number uniformity in the experimental section, and high flow field pulsation.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, how to extend the high-speed wind tunnel from the basic Mach number to a lower Mach number without changing the core components of the original wind tunnel is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

The expanded airflow is transmitted to the second stabilization section to decelerate the expanded airflow and obtain a decelerated airflow.

[0010] Optionally, the step of inputting the decelerated airflow into the target nozzle through the second throat, and accelerating the decelerated airflow through the target nozzle to obtain a target low Mach number flow field that meets the target conditions, includes: The decelerated airflow is guided into the target nozzle by the second throat, and the target nozzle is used to accelerate the decelerated airflow to obtain a target low Mach number flow field with a Mach number lower than the target value.

[0011] Optionally, the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel is also equipped with an experimental section, a diffusion section, and a vacuum tank; Accordingly, after accelerating the decelerated airflow using the target nozzle to obtain a target low Mach number flow field that meets the target conditions, the process further includes: The target low Mach number flow field is stored in the experimental section to obtain the experimental data corresponding to the target low Mach number flow field and to obtain the airflow after the experiment. The gas flow after the experiment is decelerated and depressurized using a diffuser section to obtain a depressurized gas flow, which is then input into a vacuum tank.

[0012] Secondly, this application provides a low Mach number extension device for a Ludwig tube high-speed wind tunnel, applied to a target Ludwig tube wind tunnel; the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel includes a gas storage section, a quick-opening valve, a first throat, a first stabilizing section, a second stabilizing section, a second throat, and a target nozzle; wherein, the device includes: The high-pressure air conversion module is used to compress air to obtain high-pressure air and inject the high-pressure air into the air storage section. After the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel is started, the high-pressure air is released by a quick-opening valve and transmitted to the first throat, so as to convert the high-pressure air into supersonic airflow based on the first throat. The target ratio judgment module is used to determine whether the target ratio corresponding to the first stable segment and the first throat is within the target range; the first cross-sectional area of ​​the first stable segment is greater than the second cross-sectional area of ​​the first throat; the target ratio is the ratio between the second cross-sectional area and the first cross-sectional area; An airflow transmission module is used to convert the supersonic airflow into subsonic airflow using the first stabilization section if the target ratio is within the target range, and then transmit the subsonic airflow to the second stabilization section to obtain decelerated airflow; the diameter of the second stabilization section is larger than the diameter of the first stabilization section.

[0013] Thirdly, this application provides an electronic device, comprising: Memory, used to store computer programs; A processor is used to execute the computer program to implement the aforementioned method for extending the high-speed wind tunnel of the Ludwig tube to a low Mach number.

[0014] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the aforementioned method for extending a Ludwig tube high-speed wind tunnel to a low Mach number.

[0015] This application compresses air to obtain high-pressure air, injects the high-pressure air into a storage section, and after starting the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel, releases the high-pressure air using a quick-opening valve and transmits it to the first throat, so as to convert the high-pressure air into a supersonic airflow based on the first throat; determines whether the target ratio corresponding to the first stable section and the first throat is within the target range; the first cross-sectional area of ​​the first stable section is larger than the second cross-sectional area of ​​the first throat; the target ratio is the ratio between the second cross-sectional area and the first cross-sectional area; if the target ratio is within the target range, the supersonic airflow is converted into a subsonic airflow using the first stable section, and the subsonic airflow is transmitted to the second stable section to obtain a decelerated airflow; the diameter of the second stable section is larger than the diameter of the first stable section; the decelerated airflow is input to the target nozzle using the second throat, and the decelerated airflow is accelerated using the target nozzle to obtain a target low Mach number flow field that meets the target conditions; the target nozzle is a nozzle with an exit Mach number lower than a preset Mach number; the diameter of the second throat is larger than the diameter of the first throat.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Currently, existing technology can extend the operating Mach number of a Ludwig tube wind tunnel from the base Mach number to a higher Mach number simply by replacing the nozzles with different specifications, without changing other components of the tunnel. In this case, the nozzle throat cross-sectional area decreases, and the upstream stable section throat cross-sectional area is larger than the downstream nozzle throat cross-sectional area. The limitation of this technology is that it can only extend to higher Mach numbers, requiring the first throat cross-sectional area to be larger than the second throat cross-sectional area. If extended to lower Mach numbers, the increased nozzle throat cross-sectional area will lead to two adverse effects: first, the stable section exit diameter (i.e., the nozzle inlet diameter) may not meet the nozzle contraction ratio requirements; second, with the first throat cross-sectional area smaller than the second throat cross-sectional area, supersonic jets appear in the stable section, resulting not only in high flow field pulsation in the stable section but also in the nozzle's inability to function properly, poor Mach number uniformity in the experimental section, and high flow field pulsation. To this end, this application provides a method for extending a high-speed wind tunnel to a low Mach number using a Ludwig nozzle. By replacing the nozzle with a low Mach number nozzle and adding a matching second-stage stabilization section, the high-speed wind tunnel can be extended from the base Mach number to a low Mach number, and the flow field pulsation at the outlet of the stabilization section can be reduced, thereby improving the flow field quality of the experimental section.

[0021] See Figure 1As shown, this invention discloses a method for extending a Ludwig tube high-speed wind tunnel to a low Mach number, applied to a target Ludwig tube wind tunnel; the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel includes a gas storage section, a quick-opening valve, a first throat, a first stabilizing section, a second stabilizing section, a second throat, and a target nozzle; wherein, the method includes: Step S11: Compress the air to obtain high-pressure air, and inject the high-pressure air into the air storage section. After starting the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel, release the high-pressure air using a quick-opening valve and transmit it to the first throat, so as to convert the high-pressure air into a supersonic airflow based on the first throat.

[0022] In this embodiment, Figure 2 This embodiment provides a schematic diagram of a target Ludwig duct wind tunnel. The storage section contains high-pressure gas. The pressure range of the high-pressure air before injection into the storage section is typically 22 MPa to 25 MPa, and after depressurization, the pressure range of the injected gas generally does not exceed 3 MPa. The release of the high-pressure gas is controlled by a connected quick-opening valve. When the quick-opening valve opens, the high-pressure gas passes through a first throat. Due to the narrowness of the first throat, it accelerates the high-pressure gas, resulting in a supersonic airflow. The diameter of the first throat is determined based on the fundamental Mach number of the target Ludwig duct wind tunnel.

[0023] Specifically, the process of compressing air to obtain high-pressure air and injecting the high-pressure air into the storage section, and then releasing the high-pressure air using a quick-opening valve and transmitting it to the first throat after starting the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel, so as to convert the high-pressure air into a supersonic airflow based on the first throat, includes: compressing air to a high-pressure state using a preset compression device to obtain high-pressure air, injecting the high-pressure air into the storage section and sealing it; releasing the high-pressure air using a quick-opening valve connected to the storage section and transmitting it to the first throat after starting the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel; accelerating the high-pressure air using the first throat to obtain a supersonic airflow; wherein, the diameter of the first throat is determined based on a preset Mach number; the preset Mach number is the Mach number of the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel determined based on simulation requirements.

[0024] Step S12: Determine whether the target ratio corresponding to the first stable segment and the first throat is within the target range; the first cross-sectional area of ​​the first stable segment is greater than the second cross-sectional area of ​​the first throat; the target ratio is the ratio between the second cross-sectional area and the first cross-sectional area.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first stabilizing section needs to resist the impact of the supersonic flow generated by the first throat, and at the same time, it also needs to reduce the supersonic airflow to subsonic airflow. Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of a first stable section structure provided in this embodiment. The first stable section needs to be equipped with a sintered mesh assembly including a sintered mesh, a grid-shaped support frame, and a honeycomb unit. The sintered mesh is arranged at the front end of the support frame. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a sintered mesh support frame provided in this embodiment, wherein, Figure 4 (a) is a front view of a sintered mesh support frame; Figure 4 (b) in the figure is a rear view of a sintered mesh support frame; Figure 4 Image (c) is a cross-sectional view of a sintered wire mesh support frame. The positions of the sintered wire mesh assembly and the honeycomb unit can be adjusted by a sleeve. The sintered wire mesh assembly can effectively block airflow, reducing supersonic airflow to subsonic airflow and improving the uniformity of the flow. Specifically, the first stabilizing section includes a sintered wire mesh assembly, a honeycomb unit, and a sleeve for adjusting the positions of the sintered wire mesh assembly and the honeycomb unit. The sintered wire mesh assembly is a component constructed using a metal wire mesh and a grid-shaped support frame. The front end of the grid-shaped support frame is flat, and the rear end is wedge-shaped.

[0026] It is understandable that the target ratio between the first cross-sectional area and the second cross-sectional area is determined using the average Mach number and specific heat ratio of the first stable segment, and the corresponding formula is as follows: ; in, This is the second cross-sectional area corresponding to the first throat. This refers to the first cross-sectional area corresponding to the first stable segment; The average Mach number of the first stable segment; The target ratio is the specific heat ratio of the experimental gas. After obtaining the target ratio, it is determined whether the target ratio is within the target range. If the first cross-sectional area corresponding to the first stable section is too small, it will easily lead to fluid viscosity and boundary layer effects, making it difficult to start the first throat. If the first cross-sectional area is too large, it will not only increase the total pressure loss, but also increase the airflow impact faced by the first stable section, thus requiring higher structural strength from the rectifier components. In one specific embodiment, the target ratio is greater than 1.39 and less than 5.37. Due to the transonic shock wave oscillation problem at a speed of 1.2, the average Mach number of the first stable section is estimated as 1.5, and appropriate boundary layer correction is performed to obtain the target ratio of 1.39. The maximum value of the target ratio is estimated as an average Mach number of 3, resulting in 5.37. The target range can also be adjusted according to the actual situation. Specifically, determining whether the target ratio corresponding to the first stable segment and the first throat is within the target range includes: using the average Mach number and specific heat ratio of the first stable segment to determine the target ratio between the first cross-sectional area and the second cross-sectional area, and determining whether the target ratio is within the target range.

[0027] Step S13: If the target ratio is within the target range, the supersonic airflow is converted into subsonic airflow using the first stabilizing section, and the subsonic airflow is transmitted to the second stabilizing section to obtain decelerated airflow; the diameter of the second stabilizing section is larger than the diameter of the first stabilizing section.

[0028] In this embodiment, if the target ratio is within the target range, the supersonic airflow is converted into subsonic airflow using the first stabilization section, and the subsonic airflow is transmitted to the transition section. In the transition section, the subsonic airflow is expanded using a preset expansion method to obtain expanded airflow. The expanded airflow is then transmitted to the second stabilization section. The second stabilization section has the same rectification principle as the traditional stabilization section. The function of the second stabilization section is to increase the diameter of the stabilization section so as to match the target nozzle inlet with a low Mach number. The expanded airflow is decelerated using the second stabilization section to improve the rectification effect.

[0029] Specifically, the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel also includes a transition section; correspondingly, if the target ratio is within the target range, the supersonic airflow is converted into subsonic airflow using the first stabilizing section, and the subsonic airflow is transmitted to the second stabilizing section to obtain a decelerated airflow, including: if the target ratio is within the target range, the supersonic airflow is converted into subsonic airflow using the first stabilizing section, and the subsonic airflow is transmitted to the transition section connecting the first stabilizing section and the second stabilizing section to expand the subsonic airflow using the transition section to obtain an expanded airflow; the expanded airflow is transmitted to the second stabilizing section to decelerate the expanded airflow using the second stabilizing section to obtain a decelerated airflow.

[0030] Step S14: The decelerated airflow is input into the target nozzle through the second throat, and the decelerated airflow is accelerated by the target nozzle to obtain a target low Mach number flow field that meets the target conditions; the target nozzle is a nozzle with an exit Mach number lower than a preset Mach number; the diameter of the second throat is larger than the diameter of the first throat.

[0031] In this embodiment, after obtaining the decelerated airflow, it is input into the target nozzle through the second throat. In one specific implementation, the diameter of the first throat is 0.13m, the diameter of the second throat is 0.287m, the inner diameter of the first stabilizing section is 0.3m, and the inner diameter of the second stabilizing section is 0.6m; the above values ​​can also be adjusted according to the actual situation. Specifically, the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel is also equipped with an experimental section, a diffusion section, and a vacuum tank; correspondingly, after accelerating the decelerated airflow using the target nozzle to obtain a target low Mach number flow field that meets the target conditions, the process further includes: storing the target low Mach number flow field in the experimental section to obtain experimental data corresponding to the target low Mach number flow field and obtain the experimental airflow; decelerating and depressurizing the experimental airflow using the diffusion section to obtain a depressurized airflow, and inputting the depressurized airflow into the vacuum tank.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, this application converts compressed air into supersonic airflow through a first throat, pre-checking whether the target ratio between the cross-sectional area of ​​the first stabilizing section and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first throat is within the target range to avoid airflow anomalies caused by an excessively large or small ratio, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first stabilizing section is larger than that of the first throat; then, the decelerated airflow is obtained through two stabilizing sections, wherein the diameter of the second stabilizing section is larger than that of the first stabilizing section; the decelerated airflow is converted into a target low Mach number flow field through the second stabilizing section and a target nozzle with an exit Mach number lower than a preset Mach number. In this way, by replacing the low Mach number nozzle and adding a matching second-stage stabilizing section, the high-speed wind tunnel can be extended from the basic Mach number to a low Mach number, and the flow field pulsation at the outlet of the stabilizing section can be reduced, thereby improving the flow field quality of the experimental section.

[0033] Accordingly, see Figure 5 As shown, this application also provides a Ludwig tube high-speed wind tunnel extension low Mach number device, applied to a target Ludwig tube wind tunnel; the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel includes a gas storage section, a quick-opening valve, a first throat, a first stabilizing section, a second stabilizing section, a second throat, and a target nozzle; wherein, the device includes: The high-pressure air conversion module 11 is used to compress air to obtain high-pressure air and inject the high-pressure air into the air storage section. After the target Ludwig tube wind tunnel is started, the high-pressure air is released by a quick-opening valve and transmitted to the first throat, so as to convert the high-pressure air into supersonic airflow based on the first throat. The target ratio judgment module 12 is used to determine whether the target ratio corresponding to the first stable segment and the first throat is within the target range; the first cross-sectional area of ​​the first stable segment is greater than the second cross-sectional area of ​​the first throat; the target ratio is the ratio between the second cross-sectional area and the first cross-sectional area. The airflow transmission module 13 is used to convert the supersonic airflow into subsonic airflow using the first stabilization section if the target ratio is within the target range, and then transmit the subsonic airflow to the second stabilization section to obtain decelerated airflow; the diameter of the second stabilization section is larger than the diameter of the first stabilization section.

An airflow deceleration unit is used to transmit the expanded airflow to the second stabilization section, so as to decelerate the expanded airflow using the second stabilization section to obtain a decelerated airflow.
