备注

为了探究煤油燃料火箭基组合循环(RBCC)发动机燃烧室在冲压模态下的燃烧特性,构建了一套仿真计算方法用于预测、分析燃烧室内流动及燃烧过程。以带支板喷注器、单凹腔火焰稳定器RBCC燃烧室为例,开展了冲压模态下的内流场三维数值模拟,计算得到的壁面压力曲线与地面试验及飞行试验结果符合良好。分析燃烧室压力、马赫数、燃气组分等参数可以发现:当前燃烧室结构能够实现冲压模态下液体煤油燃料的稳定、高效燃烧; 与冷流相比,压升可达5倍以上; 支板能够有效提高煤油燃料的掺混能力; 火箭安装台阶下游存在利于燃烧和火焰稳定的回流区; 通过调整凹腔、支板等喷注器供油规律,可提高来流氧气的利用率,实现更为充分的燃烧。
In order to explore the combustion characteristics of a rocket based combined cycle(RBCC)engine with kerosene in ramjet mode,a numerical simulation method was proposed to predict and analyze the flow and combustion process in the combustion chamber. The 3D internal flow field of a RBCC combustor with strut injectors and a cavity flame holder in ramjet mode were simulated numerically. The calculated wall pressure curve is in good agreement with the results obtained by ground tests and a flight test,indicating that the calculation model is reasonable and practicable. By analyzing the combustor pressure,Mach number,gas composition and other parameters,it can be found that the current combustion chamber structure can realize the stable and efficient combustion of liquid kerosene fuel in ramjet mode. Compared with the cold flow,the pressure rise can reach more than 5 times. The struts can effectively improve the mixing performance of kerosene fuel and air. There is a reflux zone at the downstream of the step for mounting rocket,which is conducive to combustion and flame stability. By adjusting the fuel supply law of injectors such as the cavity and the struts,the utilization rate of inlet oxygen can be improved and more sufficient combustion can be achieved.
