发汗冷却理想湿壁模型、数值模拟与实验研究

Ideal wet wall model, numerical simulation and experimental investigation on transpiration cooling

  • 摘要: 针对飞行器气动加热主动热防护问题,本文提出了一种用于飞行器外表面发汗冷却传热特性分析的理想湿壁(ideal wet wall, IWW)模型。该模型假设在飞行器表面存在一个冷却工质薄层,将发汗冷却中复杂的跨尺度流动与传热传质过程简化为冷却工质相变气体对边界层的引射作用。以多孔介质二维平板为研究对象,高速主流总温为5200 K,入口速度为3042 m/s,冷却工质(水)与壁面初始温度均为300 K,对飞行器高温主流边界层、理想湿壁、多孔介质固壁内的传热与流动进行了分区域建模并耦合求解。数值模拟结果表明:由于 IWW的存在,高温边界层传递至多孔介质固壁的热流显著降低,同时绝大多数传入热量被液态水带走,使得多孔介质固壁表面温度始终维持在液态水相变饱和温度以下,从而实现了壁面净热流近乎为零。同时,通过电弧风洞实验对数值模拟结果进行验证,当冷却工质流量为37.5 g/(m2·s)时,多孔介质固壁表面温度计算误差为12.5%;当冷却工质流量为50 g/(m2·s)时,计算误差仅为0.6%,验证了IWW模型能够较好地解释实验结果。该模型在本文研究工况下,解决了发汗冷却模拟过程中相变界面追踪困难和计算复杂度高等难题,揭示了不同冷却工质流量条件下多孔壁面热流密度及温度分布规律。

     

    Abstract: Aiming at the active thermal protection problem of aerodynamic heating, ideal wet wall(IWW)for analyzing the heat transfer characteristics of transpiration cooling on the outer surface of aircraft was proposed. It assumes a thin layer of coolant exists on the surface, simplifying the complex multi-scale flow and heat/mass transfer processes in transpiration cooling into the ejection effect of the phase-change gas on the boundary layer. Focusing on a two-dimensional porous flat plate, the study establishes a partitioned model coupling the high-temperature mainstream boundary layer, the ideal wet wall, and the internal flow within the porous medium, which is then solved numerically. The simulation conditions are set with a mainstream total temperature of 5200 K, an inlet velocity of 3042 m/s, and an initial temperature of 300 K for both the coolant (water) and the solid wall. Numerical results indicate that the presence of the IWW significantly reduces the heat flux transferred to the porous medium. Furthermore, the vast majority of incoming heat is carried away by the liquid water, maintaining the porous wall surface temperature below the saturation temperature of liquid water phase change, resulting in a net heat flux approaching zero. Additionally, arc wind tunnel experiments were conducted to validate the numerical results. At a coolant mass flow rate of 37.5 g/(m2·s), the calculation error for the porous wall surface temperature was 12.5%; at a flow rate of 50 g/(m2·s), the error decreased to only 0.6%, confirming the IWW model's capability to accurately explain experimental phenomena. Under the investigated conditions, this model resolves the difficulties associated with phase interface tracking and high computational complexity in transpiration cooling simulations, while revealing the distribution laws of heat flux density and temperature across the porous wall under various coolant flow rates.
