摘要:
狭缝式通风喷管(以下简称狭缝喷管)是一种高度补偿喷管。为研究其高度补偿性能及影响规律,本文以扩张比40的钟形喷管为基础,设计了3种尺寸的狭缝喷管,并进行了数值仿真研究,得到了工作高度和狭缝宽度对流场特性及比冲性能的影响规律。并通过外弹道计算,得到了狭缝喷管对一级火箭完整工作过程的总冲增益。计算结果表明:相比于同扩张比的钟形喷管,狭缝喷管在低空具有比冲增益效果,但在高空存在比冲损失,狭缝宽度越大,低空的增益和高空的损失都越大;狭缝喷管的临界补偿高度只与狭缝位置有关,而与狭缝宽度无关;在喷管扩张段的合适位置,设置合适宽度的狭缝,可以显著提高一级火箭总冲性能,在航天飞机固体助推器和某微纳卫星运载火箭两种应用场景下,总冲增益分别为1.8%和3.0%,相当于平均比冲分别提高5.0 s和8.0 s。
Abstract:A vented nozzle with slots (slot nozzle) is a kind of altitude compensating nozzle. In order to study its altitude compensating performance and influence, three sizes of slit nozzles were designed based on a bell nozzle with expansion ratio of 40, and numerical simulation was carried out to obtain the influences of altitude and slit width on the flow field characteristics and specific impulse. And through external ballistic calculation, the total impulse gain on the whole working process of the first stage rocket was obtained. The results showed that compared with the bell nozzle with the same expansion ratio, the slot nozzle had specific impulse gain at low altitude, but specific impulse loss at high altitude. The wider slot width indicated the greater gain at low altitude and the bigger loss at high altitude. The critical compensating height was related only to the slit position, but not to the slit width. The total impulse of the first-stage rocket can be significantly improved by setting slots of appropriate width at the appropriate position. In these two application scenarios of the Solid Rocket Booster and Nanosat Launch Vehicle, the total impulse gain was 1.8% and 3.0%, respectively, which was equivalent to an average specific impulse increase of 5.0 s and 8.0 s, respectively.
