Investigating an annular nozzle on combustion products of hydrocarbon fuels

Full-scale and computational experiments were used to investigate the flows in the jet thrust unit with annular nozzle and deflector in the form of a spherical segment. The used working gas was the combustion products of air mixtures with acetylene, gas-phase aviation kerosene, and natural gas. Experimental studies were carried out in a hot-shot wind tunnel in the range of stagnation pressure from 0.48 to 2.05 MPa. The calculations for the cases of combustion products outflow in terrestrial and high altitude conditions were performed with the original computer program that used the Euler and Navier-Stokes systems supplemented by equations of chemical kinetics. It was found that the thrust of the jet module with an annular nozzle at high altitude almost twice exceeds the sound nozzle thrust, but is lesser (about 25 %) than the thrust of the ideal calculated Laval nozzle; the difference therewith decreases markedly with the decrease of flight altitude and stagnation pressure.

Thrust characteristics of an airbreathing pulse detonation engine in supersonic flight at various altitudes

The main thrust characteristics, such as thrust force, specific impulse, specific fuel consumption, and specific thrust, of a pulse detonation engine (PDE) with an air intake and nozzle in conditions of flight at a Mach number of 3 and various altitudes (from 8 to 28 km above sea level) are for the first time calculated with consideration given to the physicochemical characteristics of the oxidation and combustion of hydro-carbon fuel (propane), finite time of turbulent flame acceleration, and deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT). In addition, a parametric analysis of the influence of the operation mode and design parameters of the PDE on its thrust characteristics in flight at a Mach number of 3 and an altitude of 16 km is performed, and the characteristics of engines with direct initiation of detonation and fast deflagration are compared. It is shown that a PDE of this design greatly exceeds an ideal ramjet engine in specific thrust, whereas regarding the specific impulse and specific fuel consumption, it is not inferior to the ideal ramjet.     

太阳与地磁活动对超低轨重力卫星电推进系统工作的影响

面向当前第25太阳活动周,评估太阳与地磁活动对超低轨重力卫星电推进系统工作的影响。通过对超低轨道重力卫星进行轨道仿真和分析GOCE任务数据,得出大气阻力的变化规律,并获得了太阳活动极大年附近任务和极小年附近任务对携带工质量的影响、地磁暴对电推进系统保持“无拖曳”工作的影响。结果表明：其余情况相同下,卫星在太阳活动低年附近任务的工作轨道高度可较高年降低约20 km,有利于提高重力信号强度。强地磁暴通常引起超低轨道卫星阻力增加30%～90%,飞行控制需为克服地磁暴影响留足够的推力裕度。推力器设计应保证最大推力的10%～70%推力区间具有高比冲,且着重考虑此区间的寿命问题。     

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of the characteristics of a ramjet power plant with a continuous-detonation combustor in supersonic flight

Multi-variant three-dimensional numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility of the continuous- detonation process in an annular combustor of a ramjet power plant operating on hydrogen as fuel and air as oxidant in conditions of flight at a Mach number of M ₀ = 5.0 and an altitude of 20 km. Conceptual schemes of an axisymmetric power plant, 400 mm in external diameter and 1.3 to 1.5 m in length, with a supersonic intake, divergent annular combustor, and outlet nozzle with a frusto-conical central body are proposed. Calculations of the characteristics of the internal and external flows, with consideration given to the finite rate of turbulent-molecular mixing of the fuel mixture components with each other and with the combustion products, as well as the finite rate of chemical reactions and the viscous interaction of the flow with the bounding surfaces, have shown that, in these flight conditions, the engine of such a power plant has the following performance characteristics: the thrust, 10.7 kN; specific thrust, 0.89 (kN s)/kg; specific impulse, 1210 s; and specific fuel?consumption 0.303 kg/(N h). In this case, the combustor can operate with one detonation wave traveling in the annular channel at an average velocity of 1695 m/s, which corresponds to a detonation wave rotation frequency of 1350 Hz. It is shown that, an operating combustor has regions with subsonic flow of detonation products, but the flow is supersonic throughout its outlet section.

Exergy analysis and greening performance carpets for turbojet engines

The turbojet engine is used to propel the aircraft by accelerating the combustion gases in the opposite direction to motion. This is accomplished by greatly accelerating a small mass of fluid. In this work, an energy analysis is carried out under operating conditions of 13000-m altitude and 0.8 Mach number to determine the variation of specific thrust and the specific fuel consumption with different compressor pressure ratios and turbine inlet temperatures. The exergy analysis is then applied to show more realistic performance. Thereby, the specific thrust showed an increase by 1.7%, and the specific fuel consumption was decreased by the same ratio as a result of 10% drop in optimum pressure ratio.     

发动机喷流对体襟翼干扰特性的数值模拟

出于俯仰配平控制需求，面对称飞行器通常会在力臂最长的尾端面布置气动控制面——体襟翼.由于体襟翼与发动机喷管距离较近，因此，极易受到发动机喷流干扰.该干扰力虽远小于发动机推力，但其力的作用方向垂直于体襟翼，力臂明显更长，导致喷流干扰所产生的俯仰力矩相对发动机推力所产生的俯仰力矩而言并非小量，甚至给飞行器控制造成不利影响.文章通过数值求解多组分N-S方程，分析了发动机与体襟翼之间的喷流干扰流场机理，发现了该喷流干扰力特性在低空低速和高空高速截然相反的原因.      

On locating low altitude moving targets using a planar acoustic sensor array

It is of engineering importance to locate low altitude moving targets with acoustic methods due to the blindness of the traditional radar detecting. In this paper, an algorithm for locating low altitude moving targets is put forward based on a five-element planar acoustic sensor array. The method is realized through estimations of the sensor-to-sensor time delays of the source signal generated by the low altitude moving target. The angle and range estimation performance of the proposed method are analyzed, respectively, both in theoretical and numerical sense.     

Numerical analysis of supersonic gas-dynamic characteristic in laser cutting

The influence of the processing parameters on the dynamic characteristic of supersonic impinging jet in laser cutting is studied numerically. The numerical modeling of a supersonic jet impinging on a plate with a hole is presented to analyze the gas jet–workpiece interaction. The model is able to make quantitative predictions of the effect of the standoff distance and exit Mach number on the mass flow rate and the axial thrust. The numerical results show that the suitable cutting range is slightly different for different exit Mach number, but the optimal cutting parameter for certain exit total pressure is nearly changeless. So the better cut quality and capacity can be obtained mainly by setting the suitable standoff distance for a certain nozzle pressure.

Monte Carlo scattering of sunlight by high altitude rocket plumes

A comprehensive model for the scattering of sunlight by high altitude rocket plumes is presented. The model consists of a Monte Carlo simulation of the multiple absorption-emission of solar photons by plume molecules. The physical and optical properties of high altitude plumes are discussed. It is shown that the expansion of rocket exhaust gases into a vacuum produces a highly nonequilibrium distribution of quantum state populations. As an example, the terminal translational and rotational temperatures for CO₂, for a 1 kN thrust engine, are predicted to be 10 and 15 K, respectively. Because these very low rotational temperatures result in a molecular absorption spectrum which consists of only several rotational lines, the optical opacity of both i.r. and u.v. transitions can be of order unity at large distances from the nozzle exit. For a 1 kN thrust engine, the centerline optical diameter equals unity at axial distances of approx. 10 m for CO₂ (4.3 μm) and 100m for CO (2,0) A → X. Detailed Monte Carlo calculations are presented for i.r. [CO₂(4.3 μm), H₂O (2.7 μm), and CO (4.6 μm)] and u.v. [H Lyα and CO A → X, B → X, C → X] transitions which demonstrate the dependence of scattered solar power on engine thrust, plume length and solar illumination angle. In general, plumes characterized by thrusts greater than 10 kN and lengths less than 0.1 km are optically opaque for i.r. transitions. However, u.v. transitions for H Lyα are quite optically thick even for a thrust as small as 1 kN and a plume length of 1 km. The u.v. transitions for CO can be optically opaque for 1 kN thrust and a plume length less than 1 km.
