超临界状态下RP-3航空燃料射流的数值模拟研究

Numerical study of RP-3 aviation fuel jet in supercritical state

  • 摘要: 为了研究高超声速飞行器主动冷却系统中的航空燃料喷射及其影响,对超临界状态下RP-3航空燃料的平孔喷嘴射流进行数值模拟,首先利用 Fluent软件进行计算流体动力学(CFD)分析,然后使用多相混合物模型模拟空化两相流,最后采用全空化模型来预测高温条件下燃料的饱和蒸气压对空化产生的机理和影响——当入口压力(Pin)高达4 MPa时,分析在不同环境压力(P)下,温度为333~543 K的航空燃料射流。结果发现:随着燃料温度的升高,饱和蒸气压升高,喷嘴喉部空化和出口闪蒸逐渐发生;随着环境压力的降低,压降增大导致喷嘴内的质量流量增大,喷嘴内的流动逐渐从单相流过渡到空化两相流。

     

    Abstract: In order to study the aviation fuel injection and its effect to the active cooling system of a hypersonic aircraft, a numerical simulation on the flat-hole nozzle jet of RP-3 aviation fuel under supercritical state was conducted. Firstly, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed by software Fluent. Then a multiphase mixture model was applied to simulate the cavitation of two-phase flow. Finally, the full cavitation model was used to predict the mechanism and influence of the saturated vapor pressure of fuel on cavitation at high temperature, that is, under the inlet pressure (Pin) as high as 4 MPa, to analyze the aviation fuel injection with temperature of 333 K to 543 K under different ambient pressures (P). The results show that, with the increase of fuel temperature, the saturated vapor pressure increases, while the nozzle throat cavitation and outlet flash occur gradually. With the decrease of ambient pressure, the increase of pressure drop leads to the increase of mass flow in the nozzle, and the flow in the nozzle gradually transitions from single-phase flow to cavitation two-phase flow.
