Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power technology, and in particular to a supersonic angular region flow vortex generator, a wind tunnel, and a supersonic testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the interaction between the internal shock wave and the boundary layer on the sidewalls, supersonic inlets generate strong directional vortices (hereinafter referred to as directional vortices) in the corner region. These vortices move downstream and interact with the shock wave train, resulting in significant non-uniformity in the flow field at the outlet of the isolation section. Studying the interaction between these directional vortices and the shock wave train is an important task in researching the performance of this type of inlet. If a direct-connection test method is used to study the interaction between the directional vortices and the shock wave train in the isolation section, a directional vortex generator is required to generate the directional vortices. Currently, researchers mainly use three types of directional vortex generators: a swivel-blade type, a V-shaped vortex generator, and a wing-blade type. Of these three types, the first type is too complex and inconvenient to use, while the second and third types have a smaller range of influence in supersonic flow fields and cannot form large-scale strong vortex structures.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a supersonic angular region vortex generator is provided. The angular region is formed by A wall 10 and B wall 20 combined at an angle ψ. A wall 10 and B wall 20 have a first common edge 1. The generator includes a triangular prism 30 and b triangular prism 40. The a triangular prism 30 has a first prism, a second prism, a third prism, a first base and a second base. The first prism and the first base have a second common edge 2. The first prism and the second prism have a third common edge 3. The second prism and the first base have a fourth common edge 4. The first prism and the second base have a fifth common edge 5. The b prism has a fourth prism, a fifth prism, a sixth prism and a third base. The fourth prism and the fifth prism have a sixth common edge 6. The fourth prism and the third base have a seventh common edge. The fifth prism and the third base have an eighth common edge.

[0031] The first base of prism a is set on wall 20 of B. The first prism is parallel to the airflow direction. The second common side 2 coincides with the first common side 1. The third common side 3 forms a first sweep angle α with the surface perpendicular to the airflow direction. The second common side 2 forms a first preset angle θ with the four common sides. The second prism is the frontal surface and the third prism is the backal surface.

[0032] The fourth prism face of prism b is set on the second base of prism a to form an inverted L shape. The seventh common side coincides with the fifth common side 5. The sixth common side 6 and the eighth common side form a second sweep angle ε. The sixth common side 6 and the second common side 2 form a second preset angle β. The seventh common side and the eighth common side form a third preset angle γ. The six prism faces are backflow surfaces.

[0033] This configuration provides a supersonic angular region flow vortex generator. This generator combines swept-back triangular prisms a and b into an inverted L-shaped structure, which is then positioned in the corner region. Under supersonic flow fields, it can generate strong, large-scale flow vortices downstream of the corner region, and can be used as a flow vortex generating device in supersonic isolation sections. This generator has a simple structure, is easy to install, and generates strong, large-scale flow vortices, making it applicable to constructing required flow vortices in various supersonic experimental devices. Compared with existing technologies, the technical solution of this invention solves the technical problems of existing vortex generators being structurally complex, inconvenient to use, or unable to generate large-scale strong vortices.

[0034] In the above embodiments, the angle ψ is an obtuse angle, a right angle, or an acute angle; the first sweep angle α ranges from 0° to 60°; the second sweep angle ε ranges from 45° to 90°; and the second preset angle β ranges from 60° to 120°. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first sweep angle α is 45°, the second sweep angle ε is 70°, the second preset angle β is 104°, the first preset angle θ is 30°, and the third preset angle γ is 15°. Figure 1 As shown, triangular prism a30 and triangular prism b40 are actually wedge-shaped prisms. The two swept-back wedge-shaped prisms combine to form an inverted L-shaped structure. When the inverted L-shaped structure is placed on... Figure 1 The corner region shown, and the supersonic airflow at Figure 1 When the airflow flows through the inverted L-shaped structure in the indicated direction, the shock waves generated by triangular prisms a (30) and b (40) raise the pressure inside the L-shaped structure. Furthermore, due to the sweeping effect, the airflow induces an outward-entraining vortex at the end of triangular prism b (40). This vortex detaches from the end of triangular prism b (40) and continues downstream, eventually forming a strong directional vortex. Different intensities of directional vortices can be obtained by adjusting the specific values ​​of each angle and the lengths of triangular prisms a (30) and b (40).

[0035] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the θ angle of triangular prism a30 is 30°, and the α angle of the sweep is 45°; the γ angle of triangular prism b40 is 15°, and the ε angle of the sweep is 70°; the β angle of the combination of triangular prisms a30 and b40 is 104°. This device is placed in a 90° angle region (ψ = 90°). When the airflow passes through the angle region where the device is installed at Mach 4, it will produce the following... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The downstream vortex shown has a lateral velocity (the velocity perpendicular to the airflow direction) that can reach about 1 / 6 of the mainstream velocity. Figure 9 This is a contrasting flow field without an angular vortex generator installed. As you can see, no obvious flow vortex is generated here.

[0036] According to another aspect of the present invention, a wind tunnel is provided, in which a supersonic angular region directional vortex generator as described above is installed. Since the supersonic angular region directional vortex generator described above can generate high-intensity and large-scale directional vortices, its application in a wind tunnel can improve the testing performance of the wind tunnel.

[0037] According to another aspect of the present invention, a supersonic testing apparatus is provided, comprising the supersonic angular region flow vortex generator described above. Since the supersonic angular region flow vortex generator described above can generate high-intensity and large-scale flow vortices, its application in a supersonic testing apparatus can improve the testing performance of the supersonic testing apparatus.

[0038] In summary, this invention provides a supersonic angular region flow vortex generator, a wind tunnel, and a supersonic testing apparatus. This flow vortex generator combines swept-back a- and b-triangular prisms into an inverted L-shaped structure, and positions this inverted L-shaped structure in the angular region. Under supersonic flow fields, it can generate strong, large-scale flow vortices downstream of the angular region, and can be used as a flow vortex generating device in supersonic isolation sections. This generator has a simple structure, is easy to install, and generates strong, large-scale flow vortices, making it applicable to constructing required flow vortices in various supersonic testing apparatuses. Compared with existing technologies, the technical solution of this invention can solve the technical problems of existing vortex generators being structurally complex, inconvenient to use, or unable to generate large-scale strong vortices.

[0039] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
