气相爆轰波绕射流场显示研究

采用基于红宝石激光器（波长694.3 nm）的纹影系统,对气相爆轰波绕射进行了初步的流场显示研究。采用单色激光和合适半带宽（15 nm）的滤光片,有效地消除了爆轰波自发光对流场显示的影响。合理设置激光器同步控制系统的触发延时,得到了序列的爆轰波阵面纹影照片。结果表明:图像清晰地显示了爆轰波阵面的诱导激波、横波及化学反应区。当爆轰波在左尖点处绕射,受稀疏波作用,诱导激波与化学反应区明显分离,导致爆轰波衰减为爆燃。分离的诱导激波和折皱的化学反应区在纹影图上清晰可见。诱导激波在垂直支管右壁面反射,诱导二次起爆。畸变爆轰波在水平和垂直支管中均发生马赫反射。提高初压,爆轰波受分叉口几何属性的影响减小,畸变爆轰波在水平和垂直支管下游较易恢复为自持爆轰波。     

激波在不同三角楔面内传播特性的数值研究

激波在收缩管内的反射与聚焦会形成高温高压区,点燃可燃混合气并诱导爆轰,因此对爆轰发动机的点火具有重要意义。本文基于二维N-S方程,结合五阶WENO格式,对马赫数为6的正激波在三角形楔面内的反射与聚焦现象进行了数值研究。结果表明,楔面顶角的变化对激波的反射类型以及聚焦均有明显的影响:随着顶角的增加,激波的反射类型从马赫反射向过渡马赫反射和双马赫反射转变,且壁面上的前向射流更加明显;三波点第一次碰撞产生的高温高压区足够满足可燃混合气体的点火条件,且其温度与压力值随顶角的增加而增大;当激波在楔面上发生临界双马赫反射时,温度与压力达到最大;当顶角增加到一定值时,激波在楔面反射转变为常规反射,不会产生激波对碰,因而没有高温高压区。     

用环形激波聚焦实现爆轰波直接起爆的数值模拟

利用基元反应模型和有限体积法对环形激波在可燃气体中聚焦实现爆轰波直接起爆进行了数值模拟。研究结果表明，标准状态下的氢气-空气混合气体在马赫数为3.1以上的环形激波聚焦产生的高温高压区作用下会诱发可燃气体的直接起爆形成爆轰波，爆轰波与激波和接触间断相互作用产生了复杂的波系结构；爆轰波爆点位置在对称轴上并不是固定的点，而是随着初始激波马赫数的变化而发生移动；可燃气体初始温度和压力对起爆临界马赫数都有影响，但是初始温度的影响大得多。     

多障碍物通道中激波诱导气相爆轰的数值研究

应用数值模拟方法，研究了直通道中激波经过多块矩形障碍物时诱导 H2/O2混合气体起爆的物理机制. 研究表明：在前导激波强度不足以诱导波后气 体直接起爆的条件下，经过激波压缩的可燃气体也可能在远离激波的障碍物之间的凹槽部位 起爆；障碍物表面产生的压缩波、膨胀波和气流滑移面对可燃气体的起爆、爆轰波的形成和 传播过程有重要的影响；添加不同稀释比的氮气可以影响爆轰波后流场的温度分布；增加障 碍物的间距可以改变可燃气起爆位置.     

激波聚焦诱导点火和爆轰的数值研究

以二维轴对称多组分Euler方程为基础，采用非正交结构化网格和改进的波传播算法，模拟了激波在抛物形反射壁面聚焦反射诱导点火和爆轰的过程，描述了其流场形态。讨论了预混气组成、入射激波强度及反射壁面形状对点火和爆轰的影响。结果表明，激波在抛物形反射壁面顶点处聚焦反射可形成局部高温高压区域，该区域在一定条件下可点燃预混气甚至形成爆轰，其中低稀释剂浓度的预混气、较大的入射激波Mach数和较深的反射壁面有利于可燃预混气形成爆轰。     

可燃气体中激波与障碍物作用在下游形成爆轰波的数值研究

对平面激波和单个矩形障碍物作用的过程进行了数值模拟,研究了反射产生的上行爆轰波在下游可燃气体中形成爆轰波的过程。数值结果表明,下游爆轰波形成过程主要有2种模式:爆轰波直接绕射和绕射波在上壁面反射,这和已有的实验结果是一致的。通过研究下游爆轰波的形成过程受入射激波马赫数、混合气体的压力和管道尺度的影响,分析了上游爆轰波向下游传播的波动力学过程,讨论了2种形成过程的作用规律和控制因素,阐明了下游爆轰波的形成规律。     

超音速来流中爆轰波衍射和二次起爆过程研究

预爆管技术被广泛地应用在爆轰波发动机的起爆过程中，但是在超音速来流中基于预爆管技术起始爆轰波的研究并未被广泛地开展。基于此，本文中数值研究了横向超音速来流对半自由空间内爆轰波的衍射和自发二次起爆、及管道内的衍射和壁面反射二次起爆两种现象的影响。数值模拟的控制方程为二维欧拉方程，空间上使用五阶WENO格式进行数值离散，采用带有诱导步的两步链分支化学反应模型。所模拟的爆轰波具有规则的胞格结构，对应于用惰性气体高度稀释过的可爆混合物中形成的爆轰波。结果表明:在半自由空间内，在本文所模拟的几何尺寸下，爆轰波并未成功发生二次起爆现象，但是爆轰波的自持传播距离随着横向超音速来流强度的增强而增加。在核心的三角形流动区域外，波面诱导产生了更多的横波结构；在管道内，横向的超音速来流在逆流侧对出口气流产生了压缩作用，能有效提高波面压力，因此反射后的激波压力也比较高。在同样的几何尺寸下，爆轰波在静止和超音速(Ma=2.0)气流中分别出现了二次起爆失败和成功两种现象，这是由于在超音速来流中化学反应面的褶皱诱导产生了横波结构，横波与管壁以及其他横波之间的碰撞提高了前导激波的强度，并最终促进了爆轰波在超声速流主管道内的成功起始。     

激波与爆轰波对撞的数值模拟研究

用二阶精度NND差分格式和改进的二阶段化学反应模型模拟了爆轰波与激波的对撞过程,研究了不同强度入射激波对爆轰过渡区域的影响. 当对撞激波较弱时,透射爆轰波演变主要受流动膨胀作用的影响,可划分为对撞影响区、爆轰恢复区和稳定发展区3个阶段. 在爆轰恢复区和稳定发展区,前导激波压力经历一个过冲、然后向稳定爆轰过渡的过程,表现了爆轰波熄爆和再起爆的物理特征. 当对撞激波较强时,可燃混合气体的高热力学参数导致了更高的化学反应活化程度,形成了弱爆轰向稳定爆轰的直接转变.      

气相爆轰波冲击气固界面的透反射特性

为了研究气相爆轰波冲击气固界面过程中透射波和反射波的相关特性,建立爆轰波冲击气固界面的一维理论模型,对不同初始压力条件下爆轰波到达气固界面后的界面两侧的压力和界面速度变化进行分析。利用时空守恒元求解元方法对气相爆轰波冲击气固界面过程进行数值模拟,分析气体部分反射波的压力分布和速度变化规律及透射入固体中应力波的波形和波速特征,并搭建气相爆轰波冲击活塞实验装置进行进一步验证。结果表明:气体爆轰波到达气固界面后,在固体中透射指数形式的弹性波,并在界面处向气体区反射一道激波。爆轰波后的稀疏波与反射激波相交,削弱反射激波,最终形成稳定激波回传。气固界面在稀疏波和反射稀疏波的作用下,压力和速度逐渐下降,最终也形成稳定状态。在不同混气初始压力情况下,爆轰波冲击过程中产生的最高压力和爆压的比值基本保持不变。理论模型对特征点相关物理量的计算值和实验数据符合的较好。     

弯管内爆轰波传播的流场显示和数值模拟

采用激光纹影系统拍摄了爆轰波在不同位置的流场照片. 用二阶附加半隐的龙格- 库塔法和五阶WENO格式 分别离散欧拉方程时间和空间导数项，用基元反应来描述爆轰化学反应过程，获得了压力、 温度、典型组元质量分数分布及数值胞格结构和爆轰波平均速度. 结果表明：受壁面稀疏波 和压缩波影响，爆轰波阵面发生畸变. 但由于弯管曲率半径较大，未出现爆轰波熄灭. 靠近 凹壁面的激波强度大于凸壁面侧，且凹壁面侧的反应区宽度较凸壁面侧要窄. 弯管出口处的 三波点数目较入口处减少，爆轰波衰减. 在出口直段，受扰动的爆轰波可恢复为自持爆轰波. 爆轰波流场、胞格结构、平均爆轰波速度的计算和实验结果定性一致.     

Effect of reflection type on detonation initiation at shock-wave focusing

Abstract. From practical and theoretical standpoints, the initiation of combustion in gaseous media due to the shock waves focusing process at various reflectors is a subject of much current interest. The complex gas flowfield coupled with chemical kinetics provides a wide spectrum of possible regimes of combustion, such as fast flames, deflagration, detonation etc. Shock wave reflection at concave surfaces or wedges causes converging of the flow and produces local zones with extremely high pressures and temperatures. The present work deals with the initiation of detonation due to shock waves focusing at parabolic and wedge reflectors. Particular attention has been given to the determination of the critical values of the incident shock wave (ISW) Mach number, parameters of the combustible mixture, and geometrical sizes of reflector at which different combustion regimes could be generated.

Detonation and deflagration initiation at the focusing of shock waves in combustible gaseous mixture

Abstract. Detonation and deflagration initiation under focusing conditions in a lean hydrogen-air mixture was experimentally investigated. The experiments were carried out in a shock tube equipped with the laser schlieren system and pressure transducers. Two-dimensional wedges (53° and 90°), semi-cylinder and parabola, were used as the focusing elements. The peculiarities of mild and strong ignition inside the reflector cavity were visualized. A hydrogen-nitrogen mixture was taken for comparison between reactive and inert mixture. It was found that mild ignition inside the reflector cavity can lead to detonation initiation outside the cavity. Schlieren pictures of the process were obtained and the dependence of the distance of detonation initiation on Mach number of the incident shock wave was established.

Numerical simulation of shock wave focusing over parabolic reflectors

The problem of a plane shock wave that propagates in an air media and then is reflected from a parabolic concave reflector and focuses at some region is considered. The shock focusing can greatly magnify the pressure and the temperature. The purpose of this study is to numerically simulate the shock focusing process of the reflection of shock waves from the parabolic reflectors with different depths and to analyze their associated flow fields in detail. The present solver developed is to solve the Euler equations using an improved, implicit, upwind Total Variation Diminishing scheme in a finite-volume approach. The effects of reflectors with different depths and of the incident shock Mach numbers on shock focusing are investigated. The real-gas effect is taken into account through a proper correction of the specific heat ratio of air, when high temperature occurs due to shock focusing.     

Numerical investigation of toroidal shock wave focusing in a cylindrical chamber

In this paper, focusing of a toroidal shock wave propagating from an annular shock tube into a cylindrical chamber was investigated numerically with the dispersion controlled dissipation (DCD) scheme. The first case for an incident Mach number of 1.5 was conducted and compared with experiments for validation. Then, several cases were calculated for higher incident Mach numbers varying from 2.0 to 5.0, and complicated flow structures were observed. The numerical study was mainly focused on two aspects: focusing process and flow structures. The process, including diffraction, focusing, and reflection, is displayed to reveal the focusing mechanism, and the flow structures at different incident. Mach numbers are used to demonstrate shock reflection styles and focusing characteristics. PACS 47.40.Ki; 47.40.Nm; 52.35.Tc     

Numerical investigation of axisymmetric shock wave focusing over paraboloidal reflectors

The problem of a plane shock wave incident to a paraboloidal reflector is numerically investigated. The numerical solver used is developed by an improved, implicit, upwind total variation diminishing scheme in a finite-volume approach. The real-gas effect is taken into account if high temperature occurs. The solver is validated on four test problems. The complicated flow fields of axisymmetric shock wave focusing for different-depth reflectors at various incident shock Mach numbers are studied. An interesting result of a maximum pressure happening at the reflector center is found. This is due to the occurrence of an implosion phenomenon. A maximum temperature might occur at the reflector center or at other locations, depending on the incident shock Mach number and the reflector depth. Moreover, vortical flows induced by shock wave focusing and their formation mechanism are explored. It was found that the vortices near the reflector are caused by a ring-shaped shock/slipline interaction. Owing to the slipline on the symmetry axis, a jet flow is induced, resulting in the formation of vortices near the symmetry axis. Received 13 January 1998 / Accepted 10 November 1998     

A holographic interferometric study of shock wave focusing in a circular reflector

A holographic interferometric study was made of the focusing of reflected shock waves from a circular reflector. A diaphragmless shock tube was used for incident shock Mach numbers ranging from 1.03 to 1.74. Hence, the process of reflected shock wave focusing was quantitatively observed. It is found that a converging shock wave along the curved wall undergoes an unsteady evolution of mach reflection and its focusing is, therefore, subject to the evolution of the process of shock wave reflections. The collision of triple points terminates the focusing process at the geometrical focus. In order to interprete quantitatively these interferograms, a numerical simulation using an Eulerian solver combined with adaptive unstructured grids was carried out. It is found numerically that the highest density appears immediately after the triple point collision. This implies that the final stage of focusing is mainly determined by the interaction between shock waves and vortices. The interaction of finite strength shock waves, hence, prevents a curved shock wave from creating the infinite increase of density or pressure at a focal point which is otherwise predicted by the linear acoustic theory.
