气体组分对驻点模型高焓流场的影响研究

Influence of gas species on high enthalpy flowfield of stagnation model

  • 摘要: 可重复使用高速飞行器防热材料在服役中面临气动加热与氧化损伤的耦合作用,常规电弧风洞试验难以同时复现飞行状态下的表面热流与壁面附近氧原子质量分数,制约了地面考核评估的准确性。针对这一瓶颈,本文通过求解高温热化学非平衡流动控制方程,对不同氮氧质量比试验气体条件下的电弧风洞高焓流场进行数值模拟,并结合风洞试验,分析氮氧质量比改变对驻点模型高焓流场及热环境的影响。研究发现,在保持总焓和总压不变的前提下,调整试验气体氮氧质量比对流场结构及压力、速度影响较小,模型表面冷壁热流变化不明显,只是传导热流和扩散热流占比不同,对模型表面热壁热流影响不大;与此同时,氮氧质量比变化显著影响流场中氧原子质量分数。具体而言,当试验气体中氮质量分数从0.767提升至0.90时,驻点附近区域冷壁热流变化小于5%,热壁热流上升最大约8%,壁面附近氧原子质量分数下降约57%。研究结论表明,电弧风洞热考核试验中,可以通过合理调整试验气体氮氧质量比,实现表面热流和氧原子质量分数的协同调控和逼近,从而为防热材料多次重复考核与使用寿命评估提供重要参考。

     

    Abstract: Thermal protection materials for reusable high-speed aircraft suffer from coupled aerodynamic heating and oxidation damage. Conventional arc-heated wind tunnel tests cannot simultaneously reproduce the surface heat flux and near-wall oxygen atom concentration of flight conditions which limits the accuracy of ground-based evaluation of flight conditions. To address this, we numerically solve the high-enthalpy thermochemical non-equilibrium flow equations for arc-heated wind tunnels with varying nitrogen-oxygen mass ratio gas mixtures, and combine the simulations with wind-tunnel experiments to analyze the effects of nitrogen-oxygen mass ratio on the flowfield and thermal environment around the stagnation model. It is found that, under identical total enthalpy and total pressure, varying the nitrogen-oxygen mass ratio has a minor effect on the flowfield structure, pressure, and velocity. The variation in cold-wall heat flux on the model surface is negligible, with only the proportion of conductive and diffusive heat flux being different, and the variation in hot-wall heat flux is insignificant. In contrast, the nitrogen-oxygen mass ratio significantly influences the oxygen atom mass fraction in the flowfield. Specifically, when the nitrogen mass fraction in the test gas is increased from 0.767 to 0.90, the cold-wall heat flux near the stagnation changes by less than 5%, the hot-wall heat flux increases by a maximum of approximately 8%, and the oxygen atom mass fraction near the surface decreases by approximately 57%. The conclusions indicate that we can effectively coordinate and approximate both surface heat flux and oxygen atom concentration, by rationally adjusting the nitrogen-oxygen mass ratio of the test gas in an arc-heated wind tunnel. This approach provides an important reference for the repeated thermal assessment and service life evaluation of thermal protection materials.
