Comparison of flow characteristics between tank-to-tank and tank-to-manifold crossfeed systems for liquid rocket

摘要:
针对管路间和贮箱间两种不同形式交叉输送系统,通过AMEsim软件分别构建仿真模型,对比研究两种系统的推进剂流动特性和系统故障响应特性。研究结果表明:正常工作状态下,贮箱间交叉输送具有更高的交叉输送流量,在助推分离时具有更稳定的流动特性,能实现芯级压力、流量的平稳过渡;管路间交叉输送(压差控制)则出现明显的水击现象,各特征点流量振荡强度均大于贮箱间交叉输送。缓冲罐可降低助推级脱离导致的压力波动,缓冲罐体积越大,芯级压力过渡越平缓。助推级发动机发生故障时,交叉输送技术可将故障侧多余推进剂输送至芯级或未故障助推级贮箱或发动机内,实现故障侧推进剂的充分利用和故障侧/非故障侧流量的重新分配,管路间交叉输送(压差控制)相比贮箱间流量分配更为均匀,两助推级贮箱推进剂消耗更为平衡。
Abstract:A study on the propellant crossfeed characteristics under both normal and engine-out conditions was described. Two transfer mechanisms, tank-to-tank and tank-to-manifold, were analyzed to optimize the performance and reduce the operational complexity. The results showed that the tank-to-tank transfer mechanism had higher crossfeed flow rate in the ascent stage and smoother transition to orbiter on booster staging in comparison with the tank-to-manifold mechanism. Buffer tank can significantly decrease the pressure fluctuation caused by the booster staging, and the larger buffer tank volume indicated the smoother transition of the orbiter pressure. When the booster engines were abnormally shut down, crossfeed could redistribute its remanent propellant between the orbiter or the non-fault booster, contributing to the full utilization of propellant in the malfunction booster. Moreover, the pressure-controlled tank-to-manifold mechanism was characterized by more uniform crossfeed flow distribution under abnormal engine-out conditions, helping to provide synchronous consumption of the two booster tanks despite its stronger water hammer phenomenon when the booster was staged.
