摘要:
含Al固体复合推进剂在燃烧过程中,燃烧表面存在Al颗粒团聚现象,其对火箭发动机性能产生重要影响。通过分子动力学算法建立固体复合推进剂三维颗粒微观模型,实现了模拟三维空间内AP颗粒和Al颗粒的随机分布特征。并建立了颗粒的团聚模型,分析研究Al颗粒在随机填充模型中的团聚现象,得到了不同的临界分离距离下Al颗粒粒径分布规律,并将之与实验数据进行对比,最终总结出了合适的临界分离距离与Al颗粒直径的经验公式。然后总结出了Al颗粒在气固交界面发生团聚后粒径的分布规律,设计了Al颗粒在气固交界面的Rosin-Rammler概率分布函数,分析得到其均匀性系数与特征系数分别为1.4453与86.49,可用于数值模拟计算固体燃料燃烧面退移过程中表面Al颗粒喷射的初始粒径。
Abstract:During the combustion process of solid composite propellants containing Al, a phenomenon of Al particle agglomeration on the combustion surface was found to have a significant impact on the performance of rocket engines. A three-dimensional particle microscopic model of solid composite propellants was established by using molecular dynamics algorithms to simulate the random distribution characteristics of AP and Al particles in three-dimensional space. And a particle aggregation model was established to analyze and study the aggregation phenomenon of Al particles in the random filling model. The distribution patterns of Al particle size under different critical separation distances were obtained, and compared with experimental data. Finally, the appropriate empirical formula for critical separation distance and Al particle diameter was summarized. Then, the distribution law of Al particle size after agglomeration at the gas-solid interface was summarized, and the Rosin Rammler probability distribution function of Al particles at the gas-solid interface was designed. The uniformity coefficient and characteristic coefficient were 1.4453 and 86.49, respectively, through analysis, which can be used for numerical simulation to calculate the initial particle size of surface Al particle injection during the retreat process of solid fuel combustion surface.
