Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerodynamic boundary layer transition prediction technology, specifically relating to the design of a transition prediction method that considers the wall heating and cooling effect. Background Technology
[0002] Stratospheric and high-altitude airships hold significant promise in multiple fields due to their superior endurance and loiter capabilities. Compared to traditional fixed-wing aircraft, these platforms offer higher energy efficiency and lower operating costs. Achieving superior aerodynamic efficiency is crucial for maximizing loiter capability. Given their streamlined structure, laminar drag reduction techniques have become the primary strategy for achieving this performance goal. However, the operating environment presents complex adverse factors. Specifically, during the day, solar radiation and direct sunlight can significantly raise surface temperatures above ambient levels. Wall heating fundamentally alters boundary layer stability, leading to an earlier laminar-turbulent transition, thus severely diminishing the drag reduction effect. Therefore, accurately predicting the laminar-turbulent transition location under actual thermal conditions is a prerequisite for reliable airship design.
[0003] However, commonly used stability-based transition predictions are computationally very complex and difficult to apply directly to industrial 3D configurations with complex geometries. Furthermore, the optimization design of such configurations typically requires multiple iterations, making stability-based methods impractical for everyday use. In contrast, transport models such as the Langtry–Menter model rely solely on local flow variables and are well-suited for parallel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and unstructured meshes, thus finding widespread application in industry. Therefore, increasing research aims to bridge this gap by deriving physical information corrections from high-fidelity datasets (generated through linear stability theory) and integrating them into transport models.
[0004] The effect of wall temperature on the transition process is highly dependent on the flow state and the dominant instability mechanism. In hydrodynamic flows (such as water flow), wall heating typically stabilizes Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves and delays transition. In high-speed aerodynamics, the effect depends on the instability mode: for hypersonic flows, wall heating promotes first-mode instability while stabilizing second-mode disturbances; in supersonic flows, heating usually leads to earlier transition; in subsonic (low subsonic and transonic) conditions associated with airships, wall heating has a significant instability effect, amplifying disturbances and accelerating transition, while wall cooling plays a stabilizing role.
[0005] The effects of wall heating or cooling have been studied in hypersonic and underwater flows. In the hypersonic domain, Kovalev incorporated the wall temperature ratio as a correction factor into the Langtry-Menter transition criterion and investigated the influence of the wall-to-free-flow temperature difference on the transition position of hypersonic vehicles. For underwater vehicles, Shen et al. combined the FSC equations with linear stability theory to calibrate key temperature-dependent transition parameters in the single-equation model derived from the original two-equation Langtry-Menter formula. The modified model can accurately predict the transition position of underwater vehicles in the presence of boundary layer temperature gradients.
[0006] However, no studies have yet incorporated the effects of wall heating / cooling into transport-based transition models for subsonic airflow. Therefore, when designing laminar airships using such models, the effects of wall heating cannot be considered in robust laminar design. This, in turn, leads to overly optimistic estimates of laminar drag reduction because the adverse effects of wall heating are not considered early in the design process, thus failing to yield truly robust solutions. Therefore, a transport-based transition model that considers the effects of wall heating and cooling is needed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the commonly used stability-based transition prediction is computationally very complex and does not take into account the influence of wall heating.

[0066] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments shown and described in the drawings are merely exemplary and are intended to illustrate the principles and spirit of the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0067] This invention provides a transition prediction method that considers the wall heating and cooling effects, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps S1~S4:
[0068] S1. Construct a localized momentum-thickness Reynolds number expression that takes into account the wall heating and cooling effects.
[0069] The basic model principle in this embodiment of the invention is the transition transport model proposed by François et al. The equation determines the local momentum-thickness Reynolds number. Has the critical threshold for triggering transition been reached—the transition momentum thickness Reynolds number? The ratio of the two in the form of as a sub-switch function Determine the master switch function Whether to set the value to 0. When the transition threshold is reached, Intermittent factor It begins to participate in transport, further activating the turbulent kinetic energy of the turbulence model in the SST model. The transport of these components allows for the solution of Reynolds stresses, introducing turbulence into laminar flow calculations and simulating transition processes.

This indicates the magnitude of the strain rate at a local location within the boundary layer. This indicates the local kinematic viscosity.
[0070] Considering that the above steps did not incorporate the effect of wall heating and cooling on the momentum-thickness Reynolds number, the calculated momentum-thickness Reynolds number under wall heating and cooling effects predicted using the traditional transition transport model is distorted. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the wall heating effect and further localize this ratio. Thus, based on the laminar boundary layer data obtained from solving the FSC equations under non-adiabatic wall boundary conditions, the following localized ratio expression is obtained:

Wall heating and cooling, besides... Besides affecting the calculation, it also affects the transition initial Reynolds number. The impact is also significant. Because the basic transport model does not consider the effect of wall heating and cooling on TS instability, its prediction of the transition initiation Reynolds number under wall heating is overly optimistic. Therefore, the laminar boundary layer data obtained from solving the FSC equations under non-adiabatic wall boundary conditions and the data based on linear stability theory...

[0105] S4. A transition transport model considering the wall heating and cooling effect is used to predict the transition of stratospheric high-altitude airships under the wall heating and cooling effect.
[0106] The following four specific experimental examples further describe the effectiveness of the transition prediction method considering wall heating and cooling effects provided by this invention.
[0107] Experimental Example 1:
[0108] This experimental example combines the FSC equation considering the boundary layer temperature gradient with linear stability theory, and calculates the results for a plate model at a series of temperature ratios (…). ) and pressure gradient parameters ( The boundary layer distribution under ( ). Among them , , Highest score This extensive database makes it possible to derive the correlation between key transition instability parameters (critical thresholds) and their controlling factors. A key component of transition transport models is the momentum thickness Reynolds number. The local approximation. In the original Langtry–Menter formula, the maximum vorticity Reynolds number... With momentum, thickness, and Reynolds number The ratio between them is a key parameter However, the effect of the pressure gradient was ignored. To improve accuracy under a wider range of aerodynamic configurations, François et al. improved the correlation by explicitly considering the pressure gradient effect. Building upon this, this experimental example further explores and introduces the influence of the temperature difference between the wall and the free flow on this relationship— The expression in step S1 is obtained. Then, to verify the effect of this expression, a fitted surface is constructed using the expression, and the result is compared with the calculation result of the FSC equation. The result is as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the fitting effect of this ratio parameter is compared under different temperature ratios. The surface in the figure represents the fitting result of the improved expression of the present invention, and the scatter points represent the calculation result of the FSC equation. Figure 3 To create a more intuitive graph, the data for each temperature ratio are projected and plotted on a plane. The solid lines represent the fitting results of the improved expression of this invention for different temperature ratios, and the corresponding scatter points represent the calculation results of the FSC equation at the corresponding temperature ratio. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the localized momentum-thickness Reynolds number expression considering the wall heating and cooling effect constructed in step S1 achieves a very good fit with the calculation results of the FSC equation.

Figures 4-7 What is shown is A schematic diagram illustrating the fitting effect of the improved expression. Among them, Figure 4 and Figure 5 All Tu =0.05% result, Figure 6 and Figure 7 All Tu =0.1% result. Similarly, solid lines and surfaces represent the fitting effect of the improved expression, and scatter plots represent calculated values based on the FSC equations and linear stability theory. According to Figures 4-7 The results show that the transition initial momentum thickness Reynolds number expression constructed in step S2, which considers the wall heating and cooling effect, achieves a very good fit with the calculation results based on the FSC equation and linear stability theory.

Figure 9 for The following verification results are presented. Since a significant difference between laminar and turbulent flow lies in the substantial difference in frictional resistance between the two boundary layers, with the frictional resistance of the turbulent boundary layer being much greater than that of the laminar boundary layer, the frictional resistance coefficient of the flat plate surface will be used as an indicator to judge the transition effect. Figure 9 The solid line represents the frictional resistance coefficient obtained from the simulation of the transfer transport model in this embodiment of the invention. Curves and solid square dots represent the experiment. As a result, the circular hollow points represent the results calculated by the linear stability theory (LST).

It can be seen that the transition prediction results of the transition transport model provided by this invention are consistent with the wind tunnel test results for complex 3D airship configurations. Simultaneously, CFD simulations were performed using the same mesh on the basic model, yielding the following results: Figures 22-24The results show that the prediction results of the basic model differ significantly from the experimental results because the influence of wall heating / cooling effects is not considered. This completes the calculation example verification of the 3D airship using the transition transport model provided by this invention.
