备注

提出一种基于旋转爆震的涡轮基组合循环发动机系统方案,整体采用并联式布局,可根据飞行器的工作条件在3种模式之间转换,从而满足全速域、跨空间高超声速飞行器的动力需求。针对涡轮单元和冲压单元的性能特征,提出一种等推力等流量模态转换策略,进一步揭示了模态转换规律及过渡模态总体性能特征。结果 表明:旋转爆震技术的应用能够显著改善燃气涡轮发动机的高速性能以及冲压发动机的低速性能; 模式转换起始马赫数越高,过渡模式比推力越小,比冲越高。

An over-under configuration of the rotating detonative airbreathing combined cycle engine is presented in this study. Two propulsion units are merged to achieve three different operating modes,which provides a favorable propulsion choice for advanced full range and trans-aerosphere hypersonic vehicles. Based on the steady state characteristics of turbine and ramjet units,a mode transition strategy with equal thrust and equal mass flowrate is proposed for the combined cycle engine,which further reveals the mode transition strategy and overall performance of the transition mode. The results indicate that the rotating detonation ramjet engine shows potential for improving the overall performance in low flight Mach number regime,and the rotating detonation turbojet engine shows potential for improving the overall performance in high flight Mach number regime. The higher the initial Mach number of mode transition,the lower the specific thrust and the higher the specific impulse during the transition mode.
