In wind tunnel tests, due to the pressure-bearing capacity limitation of wind tunnel equipment, the incoming unit Reynolds number of the high Mach number and high enthalpy flow field is relatively low, and it is difficult for the boundary layer transition phenomenon to occur on the surface of the wind tunnel test model, thus it is difficult to obtain the boundary layer transition data under the conditions of high Mach number and high enthalpy flow field.

[0004] The technical solution provided by this application is as follows:

[0009] The sharp leading edge part is made of high-strength and high-stiffness materials.
[0010] The total length of the straight cone section = (1 / 2 to 3 / 4) × the total length L of the model.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following will further describe in detail the disclosed embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings.
[0027] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a model for high Mach number and high enthalpy transition tests, which can achieve boundary layer transition under high Mach number and high enthalpy flow field conditions, and solves the problem of experimental verification in the study of the influence of high temperature gas effects on boundary layer transition.
[0028] A model for high Mach number and high enthalpy transition tests provided by this embodiment, such as Figure 1 shown, the model has a central axis of symmetry and is a body of revolution; the model includes a straight cone section 1 and a skirt cone tail 2 connected in sequence.
[0029] The straight cone section 1 includes a sharp leading edge 11 and a middle part of the straight cone 12. The sharp leading edge 11 is easily damaged, and the sharp leading edge 11 and the middle part of the straight cone 12 are detachably connected, which is convenient for replacing the sharp leading edge 11. The designed value of the head radius of the model is zero, and the head radius of the sharp leading edge 11 of the actually processed model is less than 0.05 mm. The sharp leading edge 11 part of the model is made of high-strength and high-rigidity materials.
[0030] The skirt cone tail 2 is connected to the large diameter end of the straight cone section 1. The diameter of the large diameter end of the straight cone section 1 is less than the diameter of the end of the skirt cone tail 2 far from the straight cone section 1. The generatrix of the skirt cone tail 2 is an arc, the arc is tangent to the middle part of the straight cone 12, and the sum of the maximum central angle θ2 of the arc part and the half cone angle θ1 of the middle section cone is less than 90°.
[0031] The total length L of the model is the maximum length that enables the entire model to be located within the uniform area of the wind tunnel flow field. The total length of the model is the length of the model along the central axis.
[0032] As Figure 2 shown, in the model design, first, according to the uniform area of the wind tunnel flow field, ensure that the model is within the uniform area range to determine the total length L of the model; determine the bottom radius R1 of the model according to the blockage degree requirement for the start-up of the wind tunnel flow field. At the same time. Then, calculate the minimum cone shock angle at which the head shock wave will not hit the model based on the total length L and the bottom diameter R1 of the model, and then calculate the corresponding half cone angle of the cone. Then determine the total length of the straight cone section 1, and it is recommended to take (sharp leading edge and middle part of the straight cone ), to ensure that the bottom diameter of the middle part of the straight cone 12 is less than the bottom diameter R1 of the model. The skirt cone tail 2 adopts an arc. Under the requirements of smooth transition of the arc tangent to the middle part of the straight cone 12 and the diameter being consistent with the previously determined diameter at the tail, the final arc radius R2 is also determined accordingly.
[0033] Embodiment
[0034] Figure 2For a specific embodiment, the model is divided into three parts: a sharp leading edge 11, a straight conical middle part 12, and a skirt conical tail part 2. The total length of the model L = 1500 mm, and the radius of the tail part R1 = 350 mm. The predicted minimum allowable shock wave angle is 13.134°, and the semi-cone angle of the cone under the flow field conditions of Mach number 10 is selected as θ1 = 11°. The sharp leading edge 11 is 250 mm long and the straight conical middle part 12 is 750 mm long, with a total length of 1000 mm. The skirt conical tail part 2 is 500 mm long. According to the geometric relationship, the arc radius R2 of the cross-section of the skirt conical tail part 2 is determined to be 2390 mm, and the central angle of the arc θ2 = 12°. The overall model is machined from a 30CrMnSiA material with high strength and high stiffness. After machining, the radius of the leading edge of the model is less than 0.05 mm. This model has been applied to the experimental study of boundary layer transition in a high Mach number and high enthalpy flow field.
[0035] The model designed in the present invention adopts this axisymmetric shape to avoid the disadvantage that the edges of the two-dimensional shape model will interfere with the measurement of the effective area on the model. The model designed in the present invention has the characteristic of large size, which will make the flow direction size of the model larger, and will greatly increase the development distance of the boundary layer on the model surface, making it easier to generate the boundary layer transition phenomenon on the model surface. In the present invention, the model design adopts a theoretical sharp leading edge (zero bluntness). According to the existing numerical and experimental results, it shows that reducing the bluntness of the leading edge of the conical model will promote the boundary layer transition, and can greatly promote the boundary layer transition on the model surface. The skirt conical shape adopted in the tail design of the model in the present invention, compared with the straight conical shape of the cone, will cause an adverse pressure gradient in the flow. According to the existing numerical and experimental studies, this adverse pressure gradient will also promote the transition.
