Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal protection technology for liquid rocket engines, and in particular to a bidirectional gradient lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel and its parameterized design method. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of metal additive manufacturing technology, lattice-core regenerative cooling channels have become an important development direction for active thermal protection structures of liquid rocket engines. The rod-type lattice-core structure has advantages such as large specific surface area, strong turbulence capability, high specific stiffness, and lightweight, and can form a cooling channel between the inner and outer walls of the thrust chamber, providing both structural support and enhanced heat transfer.
[0003] In liquid rocket engines, the heat flux density on the gas side of the Laval nozzle exhibits a highly non-uniform distribution along the flow direction of the cooling medium. The throat region, in particular, typically bears the highest heat load and is the area most prone to wall hotspots and unfavorable temperatures. In the flow direction, existing lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channels often employ constant-diameter struts or constant-scale lattice unit cell designs. Their local reinforcement capabilities are difficult to match the heat flux density distribution along the flow path, easily leading to redundant reinforcement in low-heat-flux regions, unnecessary flow blockage, and material occupation. Meanwhile, the high-heat-flux region in the throat may still suffer from insufficient local reinforcement, inadequate hotspot temperature suppression, and poor wall temperature uniformity. In the wall normal direction, struts near the hot wall end directly participate in wall heat extraction and near-wall flow disturbance, which is a key mechanism for enhancing heat transfer and reducing hotspot temperatures. However, struts near the cold wall end contribute relatively little to direct heat transfer and primarily serve a structural support role. If the struts continue to use a constant-diameter or constant-scale design along the normal direction, it will not only be detrimental to improving the effective heat transfer capacity per unit material but will also occupy the cooling medium flow area and increase flow resistance.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a design method for a lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel that can redistribute materials according to the heat flux density distribution on the gas side, so as to reduce hot spot temperature, improve temperature uniformity, and at the same time take into account the requirements of channel pressure drop control and structural lightweighting. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To match the local enhancement capability of the lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel with the non-uniform heat flux density distribution on the gas side, reduce hot spot temperature, reduce redundant material occupation and flow blockage, control the channel pressure drop increase and maintain the lightweight advantage, this invention provides a bidirectional gradient lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel and its parameterized design method.

[0008] The support rod has a flow gradient along the direction of the cooling medium flow and a normal gradient along the wall normal. The flow gradient is manifested as the diameter of the hot wall end of the support rod changing with the heat flux density distribution on the gas side along the direction of the cooling medium flow. The normal gradient is manifested as the diameter of the hot wall end of the same support rod being greater than or equal to the diameter of the cold wall end, and the diameter difference between the hot wall end and the cold wall end being controlled by the local heat flux density on the gas side. The hot wall end of the support rod is the end closer to the inner wall, and the cold wall end of the support rod is the end closer to the outer wall.
[0009] Optionally, along the flow direction of the cooling working fluid, the diameter of the hot wall end of the support rod and the diameter difference between the hot wall end and the cold wall end both change continuously or change continuously in segments; at the position where the heat flux density on the gas side reaches its maximum value, the diameter of the hot wall end of the support rod reaches its maximum value in its flow direction distribution, and the diameter difference between the hot wall end and the cold wall end reaches its maximum value in its flow direction distribution.
[0010] Optionally, the strut cell is one or more combinations of body-centered cubic (BCC) cells, Kagome cells, Kelvin cells, octahedral truss cells, tetrahedral truss cells, pyramidal truss cells, and single-column cells, or topologically equivalent variants of the above cells; the cross-section of the strut is circular, elliptical, polygonal, airfoil-shaped, or equivalent variants of the above cross-sections. For non-circular cross-section struts, the strut diameter is an equivalent diameter equivalent to its cross-sectional area, or an equivalent geometric parameter characterizing its characteristic scale.

[0040] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0041] 1. This invention is driven by the non-uniform heat flux density distribution on the gas side, so that the diameter of the hot wall end of the lattice support rod adapts to the flow direction of the cooling working fluid, thereby matching the local enhanced heat transfer capacity of the lattice sandwich layer with the cooling requirements of the non-uniform heat flux density, reducing redundant enhancement in the low heat flux region and improving the targeted enhancement in the high heat flux region.

This enables the adaptive design of the heat flux boundary of the thrust chamber or nozzle, while taking into account the structural support capacity and the feasibility of additive manufacturing.

[0052] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0053] This embodiment provides a bidirectional gradient lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the regenerative cooling channel includes an outer wall 1, an inner wall 2, and a lattice sandwich layer 3 disposed between the outer wall 1 and the inner wall 2. The cooling medium flows within the cooling channel formed between the inner wall 2 and the outer wall 1, and absorbs the heat transferred from the gas combustion sidewall 4 through the inner wall 2 when flowing through the lattice sandwich layer 3. The lattice sandwich layer 3 is formed by multiple rod-like cells arranged alternately along the flow direction of the cooling medium.
[0054] In some alternative embodiments, the strut cell may be one or more combinations of body-centered cubic (BCC) cells, Kagome cells, Kelvin cells, octahedral truss cells, tetrahedral truss cells, pyramidal truss cells, single-strut cells, or topologically equivalent variants of the above cells; the cross-section of the strut may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, airfoilized, or equivalent variants of the above cross-sections.
[0055] In this embodiment, the support unit adopts a body-centered cubic (BCC) cell. Each support in the BCC cell has a hot wall end 5 near the inner wall 2 and a cold wall end 6 near the outer wall 1. The diameter of the hot wall end 5 of the support varies with the heat flux density distribution on the gas side along the flow direction of the cooling medium, while the diameter of the cold wall end 6 is determined by the normal gradient relationship based on the diameter of the hot wall end 5. This gives the support a flow gradient along the flow direction of the cooling medium and a normal gradient along the wall surface.
[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the hot wall end 5 of the support rod corresponds to the heat flux density distribution on the gas side along the flow direction of the cooling working fluid, and the diameter difference between the hot wall end 5 and the cold wall end 6 is controlled by the local heat flux density on the gas side. The higher the heat flux density on the gas side, the larger the diameter of the hot wall end 5 of the support rod and the larger the diameter difference between it and the cold wall end 6; the lower the heat flux density on the gas side, the smaller the diameter of the hot wall end 5 of the support rod and the smaller or closer to zero the diameter difference between it and the cold wall end 6. Thus, the thermal conductivity and near-wall disturbance capability on the hot wall side can be enhanced in the high heat flux region, while reducing material redundancy and flow blockage in the low heat flux region.
[0057] In this embodiment, the bidirectional gradient lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel is denoted as G-LCRCC. To verify its technical effect, a conventional equal-diameter rod BCC lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel is set as a comparative model, denoted as LCRCC. In the comparative model, the spatial arrangement of BCC lattice cells, outer wall 1, inner wall 2, lattice sandwich layer 3, cooling channel length, cooling medium inlet conditions, outlet boundary conditions, and material parameters are all consistent with G-LCRCC. The difference is that all lattice supports in LCRCC are equal-diameter circular supports with a support diameter of 0.82mm; while in G-LCRCC, the support diameter is designed with flow gradient and normal gradient according to the parametric design method described in this invention.
[0058] This embodiment further provides a parametric design method for bidirectional gradient lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channels. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0059] S1. Normalize the heat flux density distribution on the gas side to obtain the normalized heat flux factor distribution;
[0060] S2. Construct the flow gradient support rod diameter distribution;
[0061] S3. Establish the overall equivalent volume conservation constraint for the flow gradient mapping stage, solve for the minimum support rod diameter in the low heat flux region and verify it.
[0062] S4. Construct a normal gradient based on the flow gradient and determine the hot wall end diameter distribution and draft angle distribution;
[0063] S5. Determine and verify the diameter distribution of the cold wall end based on the geometric relationship of the support rods;
[0064] This method allows the enhanced heat transfer capacity of the support rod to match the non-uniform heat flux density distribution on the gas side, forming a normal gradient support rod with a thicker hot wall end and a thinner cold wall end. This reduces hot spot temperature, improves temperature uniformity, controls the increase in channel pressure drop, and maintains the advantage of lightweight design. This embodiment utilizes the non-uniform heat flux density distribution along the cooling medium flow direction on the gas side wall of the regenerative cooling channel. As the heat flux boundary input, X is the axial coordinate of the normal projection point of the lattice cell center onto the inner wall surface. In addition to the aforementioned heat flux boundary input, this embodiment provides eight parametric design and constraint parameters, namely: the maximum support rod diameter in the high heat flux region. Flow gradient attenuation coefficient Normal gradient decay coefficient Maximum allowable draft angle of support rod Target equivalent support rod diameter Minimum allowable diameter of support rod Support rod inclination angle and channel normal height .

Therefore, the non-uniform heat flux density on the gas side is transformed into a dimensionless heat flux factor capable of driving geometric changes in the lattice struts.
[0069] S2. Construct the flow gradient support rod diameter distribution.

[0071] ;
[0072] At this point, the diameter of the flow gradient support rod is... The solution still needs to be based on Determine the minimum support rod diameter in the low heat flux region .
[0073] S3. Establish the overall equivalent volume conservation constraint for the flow gradient mapping stage, solve for the minimum support rod diameter in the low heat flux region and verify it.
[0074] To strengthen the support rod in the high heat flux region while controlling the equivalent size of the support rod during the flow direction gradient mapping stage, this embodiment is based on the target equivalent support rod diameter. Establish the overall equivalent volume conservation constraint for the flow gradient mapping stage:
[0075] ;
[0076] in, As the starting point of the design area, The endpoint of the design area; This represents the axial coordinate length of the design region along the flow direction of the cooling medium. By solving the one-dimensional continuous integral conservation model, the minimum support rod diameter in the low heat flux region is determined. ;
[0077] Substituting the known parameters in this embodiment, the solution is obtained. In this embodiment, the minimum permissible support rod diameter is taken as: ,because Therefore, the minimum support rod diameter in the low heat flux region obtained from the flow gradient design satisfies the minimum allowable support rod diameter constraint. If it does not, the target equivalent support rod diameter needs to be adjusted. Maximum support rod diameter in high heat flux region Alternatively, determine the flow gradient attenuation coefficient n, and redetermine the minimum support diameter in the low heat flux region. .
[0078] Will Substitute into S2 The expression can be used to solve for the global flow direction gradient support diameter distribution. .
[0079] For a lattice-core regenerative cooling channel with complex spatial curvature and discrete distribution of rod cells, the aforementioned one-dimensional continuous integral conservation model can be replaced by an incremental volume conservation model based on the physical parameters of the discrete support rods:
[0080] ;
[0081] in, This represents the total number of discrete supports generated within the design area. For the first The actual geometric length of the discrete support rod. For the first The axial coordinates of the normal projection point of the center point of the discrete support rod onto the inner wall surface are determined; by solving the cumulative volume conservation model, the minimum support rod diameter in the low heat flux region can be determined. .

[0090] After verification, the minimum diameter of the cold wall end in this embodiment is... .because Therefore, the normal gradient design satisfies the minimum allowable diameter constraint of the support rod.

[0092] In this embodiment, under the given conditions of cooling medium inlet conditions, outlet boundary conditions, material parameters, and non-uniform heat flux density on the gas side, Fluent conjugate heat transfer calculations are used to compare the key performance characteristics of G-LCRCC and conventional constant-diameter rod LCRCC. Figure 5 As shown, compared to conventional LCRCC with a constant diameter rod, the hot spot temperature of G-LCRCC is reduced by 64.34 K, a decrease of 7.12%; the structural mass is reduced by 0.53 g, a decrease of 2.27%; and the channel pressure drop increases by 0.29 MPa, an increase of 5.72%. Therefore, under the operating conditions of this embodiment, the bidirectional gradient lattice sandwich regenerative cooling channel of the present invention can significantly enhance the local cooling capacity of high heat flux regions, reduce hot spot temperatures, and while maintaining the advantage of lightweight structure, control the increase in pressure drop within a small range.
