Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cross-medium vehicle control technology, specifically relating to a control method for the water entry process of a cross-medium vehicle propulsion system. Background Technology

[0002] Cross-medium vehicles can autonomously switch between operating in air and water, two media with different densities, and can cross the medium interface multiple times. The air-to-water propulsion system is one of the core components of a cross-medium vehicle, directly affecting its performance. Unlike the control methods of conventional single-medium vehicles, after the air-powered propulsion system enters the water entry preparation phase, the air intake closes, and the compressor and turbine are disconnected. During water entry, the axial-flow propulsion pump connects to the turbine before contact with the water, and the air-powered propulsion system switches to an underwater propulsion system. The system load changes significantly during these two phases, which may cause a surge in turbine speed and a sudden drop in combustion chamber pressure, leading to runaway and engine shutdown phenomena.

[0003] The water entry process of a cross-medium vehicle's propulsion system can be divided into three stages: compressor disconnection (0-2s), system idling (2-4s), and axial propulsion pump activation (after 4s). During the water entry preparation process, the air intake is closed, and the compressor and turbine are disconnected. Since the compressor is the main load of the propulsion system at this time, its disconnection leads to a significant reduction in system load, causing a surge in turbine speed and consequently, an increase in combustion chamber pressure, potentially damaging both the turbine and combustion chamber. After 4s, the axial propulsion pump reconnects to the turbine. As the vehicle becomes wet, the internal flow channel at the stern gradually fills with seawater, increasing the torque of the axial propulsion pump within the channel, making it the main load of the propulsion system at this point. This increased system load reduces turbine speed, leading to a decrease in combustion chamber pressure. At this stage, the fuel pump displacement needs to be adjusted to increase combustion chamber pressure and prevent it from falling below the set minimum pressure. During water entry, parameters such as system load, turbine speed, and combustion chamber pressure undergo significant changes, with each system parameter constantly changing and coupled with the others. Therefore, it is urgent to regulate the turbine parameters in these two stages to prevent runaway and stalling.

[0004] Currently, the field of turbomachinery has conducted extensive research on closed-loop control of turbine engine speed based on modeling and simulation methods. These studies primarily focus on the nonlinearity and wide-range speed changes and depth variations of turbine engine systems, and most are conducted in a single medium. Unlike closed-loop control of turbine engines in a single medium, the load on the propulsion system of a cross-medium vehicle is highly transient during water entry preparation and entry. Furthermore, the pressure in the combustion chamber is constantly changing and coupled with the turbine speed and system load torque. Accurate control of the turbine speed and combustion chamber pressure requires considering the coupling of multiple physical quantities in the control strategy. Existing closed-loop control methods for turbine engines in a single medium are not suitable for solving the water entry process of cross-medium vehicles, as they do not address the system load changes during water entry, resulting in significant deviations from actual operating conditions. The correctness of the control strategy for the two rapidly changing load phases—compressor cutoff and axial propulsion pump startup—is crucial for the successful water entry of the cross-medium vehicle. Therefore, a high-precision, low-computational-cost dynamic simulation method is needed to simulate the water entry process of a cross-medium vehicle to ensure the stable operation of the turbine and combustion chamber during water entry. Summary of the Invention

The air propulsion system and the underwater propulsion system share a combustion chamber and a turbine, and both use underwater fuel.

During air navigation, the turbine drives the compressor for jet propulsion; during underwater navigation, the turbine drives the axial flow propulsion pump for water jet propulsion.

The turbine speed is maintained at the air cruise design speed. At 2 seconds, the compressor is disconnected in the air, and the power system load consists of the loads of the various auxiliary engines. The system idles for 2 seconds, and the turbine speed is the system idle speed. At 4 seconds, before the vehicle enters the water, the axial propulsion pump is connected to the turbine, and the power system becomes an underwater propulsion system. The power system load consists of the axial propulsion pump and various auxiliary engines, and the turbine speed is maintained at the underwater cruise design speed. When designing the engine timing, the high-speed clutch is generally connected to the compressor, and the low-speed clutch is usually connected to the axial propulsion pump. When disconnecting the compressor and connecting the axial propulsion pump, the solenoid valve clutch engagement time needs to be considered in advance, as does its power load during solenoid valve clutch operation.

[0025] S3 includes S3.2, and its specific process is as follows: The fuel pump is controlled according to the actual variable displacement fuel pump. The specific working process is as follows: the turbine drives the generator at a constant speed ratio. The current turbine speed is obtained by measuring the generator speed. The generator sends its speed to the speed controller as an electrical feedback signal. The controller obtains the current turbine speed based on the feedback generator speed. Then, through the calculation of the PI control algorithm, the expected displacement of the fuel pump can be obtained through equations (15)-(16):

The S4 model called the custom function in S3. Based on the simulation engine timing action and the simulation fuel pump angle response established in S3, the turbine speed, combustion chamber pressure and gas flow rate at one time step were obtained. The simulation conditions were updated and the next time step was calculated until the simulation time was met, so as to obtain the turbine speed distribution during water entry.

The system shares a common combustion chamber, turbine, and underwater fuel, and is equipped with a transmission system with a clutch function.

[0035] Air navigation uses turbojet engines for propulsion, while underwater navigation uses pump-jet propulsion, employing a turbojet engine with adaptability to both air and water as the core power plant. This engine effectively supports the vehicle's efficient operation in both air and water media, and its corresponding air-water propulsion system structure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

This gas drives the turbine to do work, then becomes exhaust gas and enters the mixing chamber. Air is drawn in and pressurized by the compressor through the intake duct. Subsequently, the air and exhaust gas undergo secondary combustion in the mixing chamber, and finally, the gas is ejected from the tail nozzle, propelling the vehicle forward.

This model provides a realistic and effective solution to the impact of significant changes in parameters such as system load, turbine speed, and combustion chamber pressure during water entry, as well as the constant changes and coupling of various system parameters, on the propulsion system. It accurately simulates the control results of the propulsion system during the water entry process of a cross-medium vehicle. The purpose of using time-series simulation of the water entry process is to accurately calculate the changes in parameters of various parts of the system during water entry. The establishment of an electronically controlled variable displacement fuel pump system is to better simulate the effect of controlling fuel flow by adjusting the fuel pump displacement when the speed changes.

The aforementioned model accurately calculates the changes in turbine speed, combustion chamber pressure, and fuel pump displacement, providing precise parameter settings for the dynamic simulation of the vehicle's propulsion system during water entry. Embedding user-defined functions into the dynamic model of the cross-medium vehicle's water entry process allows for better simulation of the control system's regulation of various turbine and combustion chamber parameters during water entry, accurately controlling turbine speed and combustion chamber pressure within a specific range to prevent flameout and runaway. This completes the dynamic simulation of the cross-medium vehicle's water entry process. The reliability of the control method during water entry can be assessed based on the turbine speed and combustion chamber pressure distribution at this point.
