Temporal evolution of optical path difference of a supersonic turbulent boundary layer

The density distribution of a supersonic turbulent boundary layer is measured with the nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering technique, and the temporal evolution of its optical path difference (OPD) in a short time interval is characterized by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). Based on the advantage of POD in capturing the energy of a signal, a temporal evolution model is suggested for the POD coefficients of OPD. In this model, the first few coefficients vary linearly with time, and the others are modeled by Gaussian statistics. As an application, this method is used to compute the short-exposure optical transfer function.

Experimental study on supersonic film cooling on the surface of a blunt body in hypersonic flow

The experimental study focuses on the heat flux on a double cone blunt body in the presence of tangential-slot super- sonic injection into hypersonic flow. The tests are conducted in a contoured axisymmetric nozzle with Mach numbers of 7.3 and 8.1, and the total temperature is about 900 K. The injection Mach number is 3.2, and total temperature is 300 K. A constant voltage circuit is developed to supply the temperature detectors instead of the normally used constant current circuit. The schlieren photographs are presented additionally to visualize the flow and help analyze the pressure relationship between the cooling flow and the main flow. The dependence of the film-cooling effectiveness on flow parameters, i.e. the blow ratio, the convective Mach number, and the attack angle, is determined. A semi-empirical formula is tested by the present data, and is improved for a better correlation.

二维高超声速后台阶表面传热特性实验研究

高超声速后台阶流动是大气层内高速飞行器发动机设计、表面热防护以及高超声速拦截器红外成像窗口气动光学效应校正等诸多先进高超声速技术研发过程中所涉及的一类基础流动问题. 研究高超声速后台阶流动特性对有效提升飞行器综合性能, 进一步掌握高超声速流动机理具有重大基础 意义. 本文以二维高超声速后台阶流动为研究对象, 在KD-01高超声速激波风洞中测量了二维后台阶模型表面传热系数和表面静压, 并将实测台阶下游表面传热系数分布同采用高超声速边界层理论所得估计值进行了比较. 为进一步验证实验结果, 使用NPLS技术测量了其中一种实验状态下台阶周围流动结构. 研究发现, 对于二维高超声速后台阶流动, 台阶下游表面传热分布受台阶处边界层外缘流动特性的直接影响; 在台阶下游分离区和再附区内, 气体黏性占主导作用; 在台阶下游远场区域, 边界层流动特性趋同于平板边界层; 下游边界层基本结构取决于台阶处边界层相对厚度. 对高超声速后台阶流动, 若使用数值模拟方法研究气动热问题, 应当使用湍流模型.     

超声速混合层中扰动增强混合实验

以基于纳米技术的平面激光散射(nano-based planar laser scattering, NPLS)流动显示技术定性研究了隔板扰动对超声速混合层($Mc=0.5$)的混合增强效果. 首先通过系列实验优化设计了扰动参数. 实验结果表明,超声速混合层对于从隔板引入的扰动非常敏感. 二维扰动的混合强化机制是提前混合层失稳位置,增厚混合层;而三维扰动的混合强化机制主要是通过诱导流向涡和展向运动,促进流动三维性质的发展. 总体而言,三维扰动的混合强化效果优于二维扰动. 由于是超声速混合层,隔板上的扰动片虽然很薄,但同样会引起激波的产生,是该方法中总压损失的主要原因.      

不同光线入射角度下超声速湍流边界层气动光学效应的实验研究

利用基于纳米粒子的平面激光散射技术获取超声速(Ma=3.0)湍流边界层的密度分布,采用光线追迹方法计算其对应的光程差分布,并结合边界层气动光学相似律验证实验结果的可靠性.着重研究了光线入射角度对超声速湍流边界层气动光学效应的影响,并对其内在机理进行了分析.研究表明,气动光学效应对光线入射角度的依赖性源于光线在流场中的传输路径,传输路径的不同导致了光线在流场中的传输距离以及对应密度脉动互相关结果的差异.光线倾斜入射导致其在流场中传输距离增长,进而气动光学效应出现恶化.光线入射方向与壁面垂直方向之间的夹角越大,气动光学效应越显著,而且不同时刻的差异性增加,气动光学效应校正的难度增加.超声速湍流边界层中大量具有特定方向的涡结构导致了湍流边界层气动光学效应的各向异性.当光线倾斜向下游入射时,光线传播方向与流场中的涡结构具有较好的一致性,体现为此方向上密度脉动互相关系数较大,故气动光学效应比较严重.而当光线倾斜向上游入射时,相关系数较小,故气动光学效应较弱.

Experimental studies on flow visualization and velocity field of compression ramp with different incoming boundary layers

Experimental studies which focus on flow visualization and the velocity field of a supersonic laminar/turbulent flow over a compression ramp were carried out in a Mach 3.0 wind tunnel. Fine flow structures and velocity field structures were obtained via NPLS （nanoparticle-tracer planar laser scattering） and PIV （particle image velocimetry） techniques, time- averaged flow structures were researched, and spatiotemporal evolutions of transient flow structures were analyzed. The flow visualization results indicated that when the ramp angles were 25~, a typical separation occurred in the laminar flow, some typical flow structures such as shock induced by the boundary layer, separation shock, reversed flow and reattachment shock were visible clearly. While a certain extent separation occurred in turbulent flow, the separation region was much smaller. When the ramp angles were 28~, laminar flow separated further, and the separation region expanded evidently, flow structures in the separation region were complex. While a typical separation occurred in turbulent flow, reversed flow structures were significant, flow structures in the separation region were relatively simple. The experimental results of velocity field were corresponding to flow visualization, and the velocity field structures of both compression ramp flows agreed with the flow structures well. There were three layered structures in the U component velocity, and the V component velocity appeared like an oblique ＂v＂. Some differences between these two compression ramp flows can be observed in the velocity profiles of the shear layer and the shearing intensity.
