Numerical investigation of the thermal characteristics of an integrated fluid-loop module for phased-array antennas under typical thermal boundary conditions

  • 摘要: 为突破高功率星载相控阵天线热管理瓶颈并优化其流体回路一体化散热模块性能,采用数值仿真方法研究了阵面受照模式、冷却工质边界条件及流动模型对换热性能的耦合影响。结果表明:与时均热流模式相比,峰值热流模式使阵面温差增加约32%,而流量倍增可使温差降低约25%;采用湍流模型时,流体与固体壁面的传热效率显著高于层流模型的;验证了湍流模型在高雷诺数流动条件下的适用性。工程应用中,应通过优化隔热屏布局抑制峰值热流影响,在流量与功耗之间合理权衡冷却参数,并选用恰当的流动模型以提高预测精度。研究结果可为高频、高功率密度星载相控阵天线的热设计提供参考。

     

    Abstract: To overcome the thermal management bottleneck of high-power spaceborne phased-array antennas and optimize the performance of their integrated fluid-loop cooling modules, the coupling effects of array irradiation patterns, coolant boundary conditions, and flow models on heat transfer performance were investigated through numerical simulations. The results showed that, compared with the time-averaged heat-flux mode, the peak heat-flux mode increased the array temperature difference by approximately 32%, whereas doubling the coolant flow rate reduced the temperature difference by about 25%. The turbulence model predicted significantly higher heat-transfer efficiency at the fluid-solid interface than the laminar model, demonstrating the suitability of turbulence modeling under high-Reynolds-number flow conditions. For engineering applications, the impact of peak heat flux should be mitigated through optimization of the thermal-shield layout. Cooling parameters should be properly balanced between flow rate and power consumption, and appropriate turbulence models should be adopted to improve prediction accuracy. These findings provide useful guidance for the thermal design of high-frequency, high-power-density spaceborne phased-array antennas.
