Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This document relates to the field of aerodynamic and thermal testing and measurement research on aircraft ground, and in particular to a method and apparatus for measuring high enthalpy nonequilibrium flow field parameters of atomic oxygen and atomic nitrogen absorption spectra. Background Technology
[0002] High-enthalpy wind tunnels, such as arc wind tunnels, high-frequency induction wind tunnels, and pulsed shock wave wind tunnels, are the main equipment for conducting thermal protection tests and assessments of hypersonic vehicles. During the reentry of a hypersonic vehicle into the atmosphere, the gas in the shock layer undergoes intense aerodynamic heating, resulting in complex thermochemical reactions such as dissociation and ionization, forming a high-temperature non-equilibrium flow field. Accurately measuring the concentration and temperature (translational temperature and electron population temperature) of key components (such as atomic nitrogen N and atomic oxygen O) in this flow field is crucial for verifying aerodynamic thermodynamic models and evaluating the performance of heat-resistant materials. When measuring atomic components (N, O), the traditional "dual-line thermometry" method requires selecting two spectral lines with different low energy levels and comparable absorption intensities for the same atom. However, in the near-infrared band, it is difficult to find a pair of biatomic spectral lines that meet the requirements, and to simultaneously measure the temperature of N and O, four lasers are often required, resulting in an extremely complex optical system and difficulties in optical path alignment. Existing single-line measurement methods can only perform single-temperature measurements that meet the thermal equilibrium assumption. They have limited applicability to non-equilibrium flow fields, and the measured temperatures often differ from the thermodynamic non-equilibrium state of the flow field. Furthermore, the particle number density obtained based on single-temperature measurements has a large deviation. Therefore, innovative measurement methods that can accurately decouple temperature and component concentration are needed to address the characteristics of high-enthalpy non-equilibrium flow fields.
