摘要:
针对一种S形隔离段-超声速燃烧室构型开展了不同喷注方案下的燃烧流场数值模拟研究,并与作为基准的等直隔离段-超声速燃烧室进行了对比,分析了S形隔离段对燃烧特性影响及隔离段内的反压前传过程,比较了不同构型和喷注方案的燃烧室冷态流场,燃烧流场与燃烧性能。研究结果表明:冷态条件下,S形隔离段对燃料的混合特性影响不大;但在燃烧条件下,强耦合的非线性系统会放大来流的非对称程度,进而造成燃烧场非均匀程度极具变化,同时降低了燃烧效率,由82%下降到65%。针对燃烧条件下的非均匀来流,优化了喷注方案,结合支板喷注,在燃烧室壁面增加了额外的喷注位置,提高了燃烧场的均匀性与燃烧效率。燃烧室的出口燃烧效率由65%达到了85%,总温分布系数由64%下降到26%,达到了均匀来流下的燃烧效率和燃烧场均匀程度。
Abstract:A numerical simulation study of combustion flow fields under different fuel injection schemes was conducted for an S-shaped isolator-supersonic combustor configuration. The results were compared with those of a baseline straight isolator-supersonic combustor to analyze the effects of the S-shaped isolator on combustion characteristics and the backpressure transmission process within the isolator. Additionally, the cold flow fields, combustion flow fields, and combustion performance of different configurations and injection schemes were compared. The study revealed the following: Under cold conditions, the S-shaped isolator had little impact on fuel mixing characteristics; however, under combustion conditions, the strongly coupled nonlinear system amplified the asymmetry of the inflow, leading to significant non-uniformity in the combustion field. At the same time, it reduced the combustion efficiency from 82% to 65%. To address the non-uniform inflow under combustion conditions, the injection scheme was optimized by combining rail injection and adding additional injection positions on the combustor wall. This improved both the uniformity and efficiency of the combustion field. The combustion efficiency at the combustor exit increased from 65% to 85%, and the total temperature distribution coefficient decreased from 64% to 26%, achieving nearly the same combustion efficiency and uniformity as under uniform inflow conditions.
