On the question of starting conditions for frontal axisymmetric inlets tested in hot-shot wind tunnels

The work presents the results of an analysis of starting conditions for some frontal axisymmetric inlets of internal compression tested at freestream Mach numbers М = 3?8.4 in the hot-shot wind tunnels based at Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM). The results of these inlets test are compared with the data of numerical computations of inviscid, laminar, and turbulent flows carried out by the pseudo-unsteady method. There were determined the inlet throat areas limiting either with regard to the inlet starting or with regard to providing the maximally possible degree of geometric compression of the inlet-captured supersonic airstream at its deceleration in the already started inlet. Reshaping of computed flow patterns in the inlets depending on the variation of the minimal cross section of the inlet internal duct is analyzed.     

Inlet Efficiency Study for the TSI Aerodynamic Particle Sizer

The paper reports on the particle. sampling efficiency of the inlet system for the Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (TSI, Inc., St. Paul MN). Large particles are depleted from the sampled aerosol by two mechanisms: super-isokinetic sampling at the entrance of the inlet, and inertial impaction on the inner nozzle. A fluorometric technique was used to separately characterize these mechanisms. Numerical studies were also performed. The experimental results show that the inlet's overall efficiency drops from around 90% for 3 μm particles to less than 45% for particles larger than 10 gm. Several high efficiency inlets were developed and tested. These inlets provide higher sampling efficiencies, but reduce the instrument's sizing resolution. Measurements of 7.3 μm oleic acid particles with a high efficiency inlet showed a 5% spread in measured diameter at 50% count, while less than a 1076 spread was observed using the standard inlet. It was also found that the super-isokinetic condition reduces particle losses on the inner nozzle. The standard inlet is recommended for verifying test aerosol monodispersity. An alternative to the standard inlet is suggested for measurement of size distributions.

Acoustics of an obstacle inside a reactive silencer

The transmission and reflection of sound in a cylindrical duct containing several discontinuities is investigated. A building-block method, which gives the transmission and reflection matrices for a complex system from those of the parts, is applied to bifurcations, sudden area changes with or without extended inlets, and spherical obstacles (which may be lossy). In some cases the solution can be interpreted in terms of multiple reflections. When the lengths between the discontinuities are small it is important to include also non-propagating modes, and this is especially true when the sudden area change is obtained from the area change with extended inlet in the limit of vanishing inlet. For an expansion chamber (a portion of the duct with larger radius) with or without an obstacle and with or without inlets a number of numerical results with variation in frequency are presented. Numerical results for the various building-block elements of the expansion chamber are also considered.

Investigation of annular supersonic inlets with isentropic compression

A technique for designing the supersonic annular inlets with isentropic deceleration surfaces is considered. The contour of an isentropic supersonic nozzle constructed by the method of characteristics for an inviscid gas flow with given uniform parameters at the inlet and at the outlet is used as the basic configuration of the inlet. The reversed flow of a viscous gas is computed with the aid of numerical techniques in the contour under consideration and the real operational characteristics of the obtained inlet of a fixed geometry are determined in the range of the conditions of its application. In the process of computations, the minimum cross-sectional sizes are selected, which ensure the inlet start without a detached bow shock at the entrance.

Flame dynamics under various backpressures in a model scramjet with and without a cavity flameholder

Flame dynamics under various backpressure conditions were experimentally investigated using direct flame visualization, high-speed CH* chemiluminescence imaging, and wall pressure measurements. The stagnation pressure and temperature used in the present study were 100 kPa and 2500 K, respectively, with a freestream Mach number of 4.5. Rectangular scramjet models with and without a cavity were used to explore the effects of the cavity on flame dynamics when operating in scramjet mode, ramjet mode, and unstart. The flow rate of the ethylene jet was varied to impose backpressures corresponding to each operation mode. For both models, reverse flame propagation was observed for ramjet mode and unstart. For ramjet mode, flame fluctuation occurred within the isolator due to the coupling of fluid dynamics and combustion. The presence of a cavity enhanced combustion and reduced flame fluctuation in both scram and ramjet mode. The cavity promoted unstart because of the greater heat release from combustion. Further research using spatially resolved diagnostic techniques is needed to identify the flame locations for ramjet mode and unstart.     

Design of supersonic three-dimensional inlets using two-dimensional isentropic compression flow

The design of supersonic three-dimensional inlets using the V-shaped body forming a two-dimensional flow including an initial oblique shock wave and a subsequent isentropic compression wave is considered. Such a flow appears attractive for inlets design due to a possibility of obtaining high compression levels of external flow over the inlet ramp with small losses of the total pressure. Numerical computations of the flows around the designed configurations were carried out in design and off-design regimes using Euler code. The flow structure was identified, the aerodynamic characteristics of the inlets were determined. The investigation covers the range of supersonic speeds corresponding to the freestream Mach numbers M_∞= 1.8−2.5.     

Design of cylindrical air inlets for high flight speeds from a combination of plane flows

In design regime, characteristics of such air inlets can be obtained by means of simple calculations performed in a broad range of governing parameters. The difference between the performance characteristics of a typical cylindrical inlet in design and off-design flow conditions was elucidated with the help of 3D numerical calculations.     

应用于低密度等离子体产生的气体靶模拟

 利用流体力学计算软件对两种结构气体靶进行了数值模拟和分析。对于充气型毛细管气体靶,在充气达到稳定状态后,形成稳定的层流。气体密度的空间分布均匀,两进气口之间的密度不均匀性仅约1%。毛细管的结构参数如进气口的位置和宽度对气体密度分布的边缘有较大影响,但是对管内气体密度分布影响很小。采用锥形喷气靶可使气体密度分布的边缘更陡些,但是这种靶的超声流动可出现湍流,导致不稳定的气体流动以及更不均匀的气体密度分布。

Measurement of the effect on brake performance of the intake and exhaust system components in a motorbike high speed racing engine

The paper presents a series of brake performance measurements for a high speed Road Racing Supersport motorbike engine. A modular approach consisting in a progressive assembling of each component belonging to the intake and exhaust systems is used to investigate the influence of these components on volumetric efficiency through brake torque chassis dynamometer tests. In spite of the design effort that is usually made to keep the cylinder air intake independent of each other in this kind of engines, results showed a considerable acoustic coupling between the intake primary manifolds and the upstream components. Moreover, a good correspondence is found about intake and exhaust tuning regimes between experimental results and analytical relationships proposed in the literature. The presented results can also be interpreted as representative for the overall very high speed engines category (including MotoGP and F1 ones), being the air-breathing system layout mostly independent of engine technological level within this category.     

A hybrid CFD/characteristics method for fast characterization of hypersonic blunt forebody/inlet flow

A hybrid CFD/characteristic method(CCM) was proposed for fast design and evaluation of hypersonic inlet flow with nose bluntness, which targets the combined advantages of CFD and method of characteristics. Both the accuracy and efficiency of the developed CCM were verified reliably, and it was well demonstrated for the external surfaces design of a hypersonic forebody/inlet with nose bluntness. With the help of CCM method, effects of nose bluntness on forebody shock shapes and the flowfield qualities which dominate inlet performance were examined and analyzed on the two-dimensional and axisymmetric configurations. The results showed that blunt effects of a wedge forebody are more substantial than that of related cone cases. For a conical forebody with a properly blunted nose, a recovery of the shock front back to that of corresponding sharp nose is exhibited, accompanied with a gradually fading out of entropy layer effects. Consequently a simplification is thought to be reasonable for an axisymmetric inlet with a proper compression angle, and a blunt nose of limited radius can be idealized as a sharp nose, as the spillage and flow variations at the entrance are negligible, even though the nose scale increases to 10% cowl lip radius. Whereas for two-dimensional inlets, the blunt effects are substantial since not only the inlet capturing/starting capabilities, but also the flow uniformities are obviously degraded.     

Flow characteristics of hypersonic inlets with different cowl-lip blunting methods

Under hypersonic flight conditions,the sharp cowl-lip leading edges have to be blunted because of the severe aerodynamic heating.This paper proposes four cowl-lip blunting methods and studies the corresponding flow characteristics and performances of the generic hypersonic inlets by numerical simulation under the design conditions of a flight Mach number of 6 and an altitude of 26 km.The results show that the local shock interference patterns in the vicinity of the blunted cowl-lips have a substantial influence on the flow characteristics of the hypersonic inlets even though the blunting radius is very small,which contribute to a pronounced degradation of the inlet performance.The Equal Length blunting Manner(ELM)is the most optimal in that a nearly even reflection of the ramp shock produces an approximately straight and weak cowl reflection shock.The minimal total pressure loss,the lowest cowl drag,maximum mass-capture and the minimal aeroheating are achieved for the hypersonic inlet.For the other blunting manners,the ramp shock cannot reflect evenly and produces more curved cowl reflection shock.The Type V shock interference pattern occurs for the Cross Section Cutting blunting Manner(CSCM)and the strongest cowl reflection shock gives rise to the largest flow loss and drag.The cowl-lip blunted by the other two blunting manners is subjected to the shock interference pattern that transits with an increase in the blunting radius.Accordingly,the peak heat flux does not fall monotonously with the blunting radius increasing.Moreover,the cowl-lip surface suffers from severe aerothermal load when the shear layer or the supersonic jet impinges on the wall.     

New method for measuring diesel nozzle orif ice inlet structures based on synchrotron X-ray tomography

Spray behavior is regarded as one of the main factors influencing engine performances, fuel consumption and emissions for diesel engines. Under high injection pressure, diesel spray behaviors are extremely sensitive to the nozzle internal geometries, especially the geometric structures of orifice entrance. Based on the synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography technique, the 3D digital models of nozzle tips can be constructed. A new automatic method is presented to reveal the inlet structures according to these nozzle orifice models. The planes passing through the orifice axis are determined and used to cut the models, and then the corresponding cutting images are applied to measure the inlet chamfer radii around the orifice axis automatically. The orifices of a single-hole nozzle and an eight-hole nozzle are measured according to this method. The results show that this method can automatically measure the orifice inlet chamfer radii around the orifice axis with high precision. The obtained inlet chamfer radius shows the whole profile of the orifice entrance, which is a precise feedback for nozzle designing and manufacturing, and it also provides precise geometrical boundary conditions for the study of spray behaviors.

“Buzz-saw” noise: Prediction of the rotor-alone pressure field

Public expectations of lower environmental noise levels, and increasingly stringent legislative limits on aircraft noise, result in noise being a critical technical issue in the development of jet engines. Noise at take-off, when the engines are at high-power operating conditions, is a key reference level for engine noise certification. “Buzz-saw” noise is the dominant fan tone noise from modern high-bypass-ratio turbofan aircraft engines during take-off. Rotor-alone tones are the key component of buzz-saw noise. The rotor-alone pressure field is cut-off at subsonic fan tip speeds; buzz-saw noise is associated with supersonic fan tip speeds, or equivalently, high power engine operating conditions. A recent series of papers has described new work concerning the prediction of buzz-saw noise. The prediction method is based on modelling the nonlinear propagation of one-dimensional sawtooth waveforms. A sawtooth waveform is a simplified representation of the rotor-alone pressure field. Previous validation of the prediction method focussed entirely on reproducing the spectral characteristics of buzz-saw noise; this was dictated at that time by the availability of spectral data only for comparison between measurement and prediction. In this paper, full validation of the method by comparing measurement and prediction of the rotor-alone pressure field is published for the first time. It is shown that results from the modelling based on a one-dimensional sawtooth waveform capture the essential features of the rotor-alone pressure field as it propagates upstream inside a hard-walled inlet duct. This verifies that predictions of the buzz-saw noise spectrum, which are in good agreement with the measured data, are based on a model which reproduces the key physics of the noise generation process. Validation results for the rotor-alone pressure field in an acoustically lined inlet duct are also shown. Comparisons of the measured and predicted rotor-alone pressure field are more difficult to interpret because the acoustic lining significantly modifies the sawtooth waveform, but there remains good agreement with the measured spectral data. The buzz-saw noise prediction code used to generate the simulations in this paper has been used by the Rolls–Royce Noise Department since 2004.     

Investigations of three-dimensional flow characteristics in a liquid ramjet combustor using the PIV method

Three-dimensional flow characteristics in a liquid fuel ramjet combustor were investigated using the PIV method. The combustor had two rectangular inlets that form a 90-degree angle with each other, with intake angles of 30 degrees. Three guide vanes were installed in each rectangular inlet to improve flow stability. The experiments were performed in a water tunnel test with the same Reynolds number as Mach 0.3 at the inlet. PIV software was developed to measure the characteristics of the flow field in the combustor. Accuracy of the developed PIV program was verified with a rotating disk experiment and standard data. The experimental results showed that the two main streams from the rectangular intakes collided near the plane of symmetry and generated two large longitudinal vortices, which was in agreement with three dimensional computational results. A large and complex threedimensional recirculating flow was measured behind the intakes.
