Tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel and flow stabilizing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of tandem supersonic and hypersonic low-turbulence wind tunnels and static wind tunnels, and particularly relates to a tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel based on porous material flow control and a flow stabilizing method thereof.
Background
In the aspect of aerodynamic force, a plurality of unsolved problems exist at present, such as the problem of boundary layer stability and transition of hypersonic flow, the problems of flow separation and reattachment, the real gas effect and shock wave/boundary layer interference, and the like, which directly influence the aerodynamic, control and thermal protection design of the hypersonic and hypersonic aircraft. The ground wind tunnel test is a main way for developing supersonic speed and hypersonic speed aerodynamic research. The Ludwieg tube wind tunnel is a hypersonic wind tunnel facility with the most economic benefit so far, and if the conventional Ludwieg tube wind tunnel wants to realize a relatively large-size test section with supersonic flow, the conventional Ludwieg tube wind tunnel needs to be arranged in a serial mode, and an additional spray pipe and a stabilizing section are introduced. However, the introduction of external elements limits mass flow, and causes strong shock wave effect and large flow separation, which destroys the uniformity of the flow field in the supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel test section. Therefore, different types of damping materials need to be arranged in the stabilizing section to improve the flow quality and ensure the reliability of the wind tunnel experiment.
In the aspect of steady flow of a wind tunnel flow field, a porous plate, a honeycomb plate, a steel wire mesh and an air filter are mostly adopted as damping materials. Among these damping materials, the perforated plates and the honeycomb plates have a rather strong body, which can weaken flow separation and filter the direct flow, but which itself can cause additional turbulence; the steel wire mesh and the air filter are easily corroded, and the effect is not obvious when shock waves and complex flow exist.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects or improvement requirements of the prior art, the invention provides a tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel and a flow stabilizing method thereof, so that the technical problem of poor incoming flow quality of a second spray pipe of the conventional tandem wind tunnel is solved.
To achieve the above object, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a flow stabilizing method for a tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel, comprising:
placing a porous material in a stabilizing section, wherein the pore thickness of the porous material disposed upstream of the stabilizing section is greater than the pore thickness of the porous material subsequently disposed.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel comprising: the device comprises a first spray pipe, a stabilizing section, a second spray pipe and a testing section;
placing a porous material in the stabilizing section, wherein the pore thickness of the porous material disposed upstream of the stabilizing section is greater than the pore thickness of the porous material subsequently disposed.
Preferably, the porous material is arranged vertically along the axis of the stabilizing section, and the diameter of the porous material is consistent with the diameter of the stabilizing section.

Preferably, the porosity of the porous material is 70% to 96%.
Preferably, the porous material has a permeability of 1 × 10-9m2~1×10-5m2。
In general, compared with the prior art, the above technical solution contemplated by the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
(1) perforated plates, honeycomb plates, steel wire meshes or air filters are generally used in the existing wind tunnel stabilizing section, and in the damping materials, the perforated plates and the honeycomb plates can cause additional vortex; in the presence of shock waves and large flow separations, steel wire meshes and conventional screens are not very effective in stabilizing the flow. The porous material is provided with micropore gaps, so that the disturbance waves such as sound waves, vortex waves and entropy waves can be partially absorbed while the flow field structure is not damaged, and meanwhile, the porous material has strong structural strength and can bear the strong shock wave impact generated in the supersonic speed and hypersonic speed wind tunnel within a large Mach number range, and the internal structure is not damaged. When the porous material is vertically arranged in the stable section of the tandem supersonic wind tunnel, a main body formed by the porous material absorbs flow field disturbance, weakens shock wave intensity, and filters large separation vortex generated by flow separation, so that the flow field uniformity of an entrance of a supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel test section is improved, the technical problem that the incoming flow quality of a second spray pipe of the existing tandem wind tunnel is poor is solved, and the reliability of a wind tunnel test is improved;
(2) the technical problem caused by the fact that the porous metal materials with different properties such as permeability, porosity and the like have different flow stabilizing effects on the wind tunnel, and parameter selection errors can cause the situation that the flow stabilizing effect is poor and even the wind tunnel cannot normally run is solved. In order to overcome the difficulties, the invention carries out series parameter research by a numerical simulation method of the supersonic velocity and hypersonic velocity wind tunnel of the tandem nozzle, and determines the parameter range of the porous metal material for effectively improving the inflow quality of the wind tunnel. The overall size of the porous material is determined by the size of the calming section. For the wind tunnel stabilizing section with the conventional size, the aperture of the porous material is 0.05 mm-2 mm, the porosity is 70% -96%, and the permeability is 1 multiplied by 10-9m2~1×10-5m2. Proper parameter selection has good effect on eliminating the incoming flow disturbance in the stabilizing section, and the experimental flow field quality of the supersonic speed and the hypersonic speed of the tandem spray pipe can be improved.

According to the invention, the flow stabilizing effect of the porous material is researched according to the aerodynamic characteristics, the porous material is arranged in the stabilizing section of the tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel, and the main body formed by the porous material absorbs flow field disturbance and weakens incoming flow unevenness caused by the flow field disturbance, so that the flow field quality of the wind tunnel test section inlet is improved, the effect of high-efficiency flow stabilization of the tandem supersonic and hypersonic Ludwieg tube wind tunnel is realized, and the effect of improving the incoming flow quality of the tandem supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel test section is achieved.
When the air flow passes through the porous damping material, the large-scale vortex structure and disturbance of the air flow can be damaged, the flow of the air flow can be uniform, and the flow field pulsation can be reduced. The arrangement of the porous materials is reasonably designed, and the thicker porous metal materials are vertically arranged at the upstream of the stabilizing section to bear the impact load of the incoming flow, so that the large flow separation is damaged; then, a porous medium material with smaller pores is used for further refining the vortex structure; finally, the purposes of uniform flow, turbulence reduction and noise reduction are realized.
