Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of determining the thrust coefficient of a dual-duct nozzle for aero-engines, and specifically relates to a method for determining the thrust coefficient of a dual-duct nozzle for aero-engines. Background Technology
[0002] Aero engines, especially those with variable thermocycle capabilities, often have multiple geometric adjustment variables, such as compression components like guide vanes, stator vanes, turbine guide vanes, and nozzles. Compared to conventional cycle turbofan aero engines, variable thermocycle aero engines have more than one main exhaust nozzle. As the number of bypass ducts increases, they often have multiple exhaust nozzles. Currently, the most common type is the dual bypass nozzle, which consists of an inner bypass nozzle and an outer bypass nozzle.
[0003] In aero-engines with dual bypass nozzles, the inner bypass nozzle typically has an axisymmetric convergent-divergent configuration, while the outer bypass nozzle has a convergent configuration, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the definition of the section designation is as follows:
[0004] 7-Inner channel nozzle inlet section;
[0005] 8-Internal duct nozzle throat section;
[0006] 9-Internal duct nozzle exit section;
[0007] 37 - External bypass nozzle inlet section;
[0008] 39 - External bypass nozzle outlet section;
[0009] β-Inner duct nozzle expansion section expansion angle.
[0010] The nozzle thrust coefficient is defined as the ratio of the actual total thrust of the nozzle to the total thrust under one-dimensional isentropic full expansion. In aero-engine performance calculations, the demand for the nozzle thrust coefficient is significant, and accurate calculation of the nozzle thrust coefficient is crucial for the overall performance calculation and prediction of aero-engines.
[0011] Currently, no research on the calculation of thrust coefficient of dual-duct nozzles for aero-engines has been found in publicly available technical documents. There are only methods for calculating the thrust coefficient of a single nozzle of conventional turbofan engines. These methods mainly involve simulating the flow field of a single nozzle to calculate the flow field, obtain the theoretical thrust and isentropic expansion thrust, and then calculate the thrust coefficient of the nozzle.
[0012] Since the total thrust generated by the dual-duct nozzle of an aero-engine is not equal to the arithmetic sum of the thrust generated by the two single nozzles, and is often less than the arithmetic sum of the thrust generated by the dual-duct nozzle alone, and since the nozzle design is relatively novel and there are complex interferences between the flow fields, the conventional method for calculating the thrust coefficient of a single nozzle of a turbofan engine is not well applicable to the calculation of the thrust coefficient of a dual-duct nozzle.
[0013] This application is made in view of the aforementioned technical deficiencies. Summary of the Invention

[0066] A method for determining the thrust coefficient of a dual-duct nozzle in an aero-engine, such as Figure 1As shown, the thrust loss coefficient caused by flow field interference in the inner and outer double-duct nozzles was calculated by means of numerical simulation and experimental measurement. This solves the problem of deviation between the calculated thrust coefficient and the true value caused by flow field interference in the double-duct nozzles, which can improve the calculation accuracy of the true thrust of aero-engines and increase the accuracy of the thrust coefficient calculation results.
[0067] Step 1: Construct a calculation model for a dual-duct nozzle.
[0068] The parameters required to construct the calculation model of the dual-duct nozzle include the throat area A8 of the inner duct nozzle, the exit area A9 of the inner duct nozzle, the spread angle β of the inner duct nozzle, and the throat area A39 of the outer duct nozzle, which can be obtained through measurement.
[0069] Since the dual-duct nozzle of an aero-engine is an axisymmetric structure, a two-dimensional planar model can be established, and the far-field boundary can be determined.
[0070] The setup and preparation work before the calculation is completed by using CFD calculation software to divide the model mesh, set boundary conditions, select the turbulence model, and set the calculation residuals.
[0071] Step 2: Set the inlet conditions and outlet back pressure of the dual-duct nozzle, and use the dual-duct nozzle calculation model to calculate the flow field distribution and inlet / outlet parameters of the dual-duct nozzle.

[0074] Under the given inlet conditions and outlet back pressure of the dual-duct nozzle, and with a specified number of iterations, the calculation begins using the dual-duct nozzle calculation model. Once the calculation converges, the flow field distribution of the dual-duct nozzle is obtained. The parameter distribution of the flow field of the dual-duct nozzle, as well as inlet and outlet parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate, can be viewed.

[0084] On the test bench, aero-engine tests are conducted to record the performance of the aero-engine under different conditions, including the total thrust of the dual-bypass nozzle under different intake conditions and exit back pressure. The thrust is generated jointly by the inner duct nozzle and the outer bypass nozzle. Considering the losses caused by flow field interference, the sum of the theoretical thrust of the inner duct nozzle and the theoretical thrust of the outer bypass nozzle is... This does not equal the total thrust of a dual-duct nozzle. Calculate the thrust loss coefficient of a dual-duct nozzle. :

[0088] Step 5: Based on the inlet and outlet parameters of the dual-duct nozzle, calculate the one-dimensional isentropic fully expanded thrust of the dual-duct nozzle.
[0089] Based on the inlet and outlet parameters of the dual-duct nozzle, the one-dimensional ideal fully expanded airflow velocity of the inner duct nozzle and the outer duct nozzle can be calculated, and then the one-dimensional ideal isentropic fully expanded thrust of the inner duct nozzle and the outer duct nozzle can be calculated. The sum of these values gives the one-dimensional ideal isentropic fully expanded thrust of the dual-duct nozzle. In the calculation of the ideal thrust, it is assumed that there is no interference between the inner duct nozzle and the outer duct nozzle.

[0109] The method for determining the thrust coefficient of a dual-duct nozzle for aero-engines disclosed in the above embodiments considers the influence of the dual-duct nozzle structure on the nozzle flow field and thrust. It uses numerical simulation and experimental measurement to calculate the theoretical total thrust generated by the inner and outer dual-duct nozzles, and obtains the thrust loss coefficient of the dual-duct nozzle with the help of thrust test results. Considering the thrust loss caused by flow field interference, the theoretical thrust is corrected for loss. Based on the basic principles of aero-engines, the one-dimensional isentropic fully expanded thrust of the inner and outer dual-duct nozzles is calculated separately. According to the thrust coefficient calculation principle, the thrust coefficient of the dual-duct nozzle is calculated, which fills the gap in the determination of the thrust coefficient of dual-duct nozzles, solves the problem of thrust coefficient calculation deviation caused by flow field interference of dual-duct nozzles, and increases the accuracy of the thrust coefficient calculation results.
