Numerical Analysis and Verification of the Gas Jet from Aircraft Engines Impacting a Jet Blast Deflector

The process of the gas jet from aircraft engines impacting a jet blast deflector is not only a complex fluid–solid coupling problem that is not easy to compute, but also a safety issue that seriously interferes with flight deck envi?ronment. The computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method is used to simulate numerically the impact e ect of gas jet from aircraft engines on a jet blast deflector by using the Reynolds?averaged Navier?Stokes(RANS) equations and turbulence models. First of all, during the pre?processing of numerical computation, a sub?domains hybrid meshing scheme is adopted to reduce mesh number and improve mesh quality. Then, four di erent turbulence models includ?ing shear?stress transport(SST) k-w, standard k-w, standard k-ε and Reynolds stress model(RSM) are used to compare and verify the correctness of numerical methods for gas jet from a single aircraft engine. The predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the distribution and regularity of shock wave, velocity, pressure and temperature of a single aircraft engine are got. The results show that SST k?w turbulence model is more suitable for the numerical simulation of compressible viscous gas jet with high prediction accuracy. Finally, the impact e ect of gas jet from two aircraft engines on a jet blast deflector is analyzed based on the above numerical method, not only the flow parameters of gas jet and the interaction regularity between gas jet and the jet blast deflector are got, but also the thermal shock properties and dynamic impact characteristics of gas jet impacting the jet blast deflector are got. So the dangerous activity area of crew and equipments on the flight deck can be predicted qualitatively and quantitatively. The proposed research explores out a correct numerical method for the fluid–solid interaction during the impact process of supersonic gas jet, which provides an e ective technical support for design, thermal ablation and structural damage analysis of a new jet blast deflector.

Additive Design and Manufacturing of Jet Engine Parts

The additive design （AD） and additive manufacturing （AM） of jet engine parts will revolutionize the traditional aerospace industry. The unique characteristics of AM, such as gradient materials and micro-structures, have opened up a new direction in jet engine design and manufacturing. Engineers have been liberated from many constraints associated with traditional methodologies and technologies. One of the most significant features of the AM process is that it can ensure the consistency of parts because it starts from point（s）, continues to line（s） and layer（s）, and ends with the competed part. Collaboration between design and manufacturing is the key to success in fields including aerodynamics, thermodynamics, structural integration, heat transfer, material development, and machining. Engineers must change the way they design a part, as they shift from the traditional method of ＂subtracting material＂ to the new method of ＂adding material＂ in order to manufacture a part. AD is not the same as designing for AM, A new method and new tools are required to assist with this new way of designing and manufacturing. This paper discusses in detail what is required in AD and AM, and how current problems can be solved.

Off-Design Modelling of a Turbo Jet Engine with Operative Afterburner

Gas turbines are considered as one of the leading internal combustion engines in modern air transportation due to its favourable power to weight ratio and its continuous combustion process. Recent research focus has been concerned with performance improvements aimed at reduced fuel consumption and hence reduced impact on the environment. This study is aimed at using theoretical and computational methods to model the operation and performance a turbojet gas turbine engine. The commercial software GasTurb13 was used for the theoretical simulation while Microsoft Excel was used for the analytical study. GasTurb13 solved the model using pseudo-perfect gas models i.e. component maps since the specific gas ratio could not be inputted into the solver. The effect of changes in the Mach number and altitude on the engine performance was studied. Also the effect of changes in the compressor pressure ratio, the turbine inlet temperature and the afterburner exit temperature were also studied. Results obtained showed the optimum pressure ratio at maximum thrust constraint to be 16.78 for the turbojet engine operating at Mach number (Ma) = 0.8 and altitude = 10,000 m, Turbine inlet temperature (TIT) = 1200 K and Afterburner exit temperature = 1800 K.

Experimental Investigation on Space-dispersed Double-wall Jet Combustion System for DI Diesel Engine

A space-dispersed double-wall jet combustion system was developed by adopting the wall-guiding spray method and the stratification theory.The experimental test was carried out to optimize the structural parameters of the diesel-engine combustion system,including chamber structure,swirl ratio of cylinder head,included angle of jet orifice,number and diameter of jet orifice,fuel injection pressure and timing.The effect of double-wall jet combustion system on combustion and engine performance was tested to obtain the best performance indexes,and the double-wall jet combustion system was compared to the prototype.The results show that NOx is reduced from 712 PPm to 487 PPm at 2 100 r/min,and from 593 PPm to 369 PPm at 3 000 r/min,which are reduced by 31.6% and 37.7%,respectively.The smoke intensity was reduced form 3.67 BSU to 2.1 BSU,and the oil consumption was reduced from 240.5 g/(kW·h) to 225.4 g/(kW·h),which was decreased by 6.3% at low speed.The pressure in the cylinder was obviously reduced from 115 bar to 108 bar,which was reduced by 6%.

NUMERICAL MODELING OF TURBULENTEVAPORATING GAS-DROPLET TWO-PHASE FLOWS IN AN AFTERBURNER DIFFUSOR OF TURBO-FAN JET ENGINES

The two-dimensional turbulent evaporating gas-droplet two-phase flows in an afterburner diffusor of turbo-fan jet engines are simulated by the k-ε turbulence model and the particle trajectory model. Comparison of predicted gas velocity and temperature distributions with experimental results for the cases without liquid spray shows pretty good agreement. Gas-droplet two-phase flow predictions give plausible droplet trajectories, fuel-vapor concentration distribution, gas-phase velocity and temperature field in presence of liquid droplets. One run of computation with this method is made for a particular afterburner. The results indicate that the location of the atomizers is not favorable to flame stabilization and combustion efficiency. The proposed numerical modeling can also be adopted for optimization design and performance evaluation of afterburner combustors of turbo-fan jet engines.

Propagation of Gaussian Schell-Model Array Beams through a Jet Engine Exhaust

Here a Gaussian Shell Model Array (GSMA) beam is used to investigate the propagation characteristics in the jet engine exhaust region. It has great significance to improve various optical systems for wide application in trapping cold atoms, creating gratings, and atmospheric optical communication. We calculate analytical formulas for the spectral density (SD) and the propagation factors Mx2 and My2 of a GSMA beam. The influence of inner scale of turbulence in the jet engine exhaust region on its power spectrum has been also analyzed. According to these results, the influence of turbulence in a jet engine exhaust on a GSMA beam has been reduced by changing the parameters of light source and turbulence. For example, it is an excellent tool for mitigation of the jet engine exhaust-induced anisotropy of turbulence to increase the source coherence length, the root-mean-squared (rms) beam width, the wavelength or reduce the outer scale of turbulence.

Study on Using Mixed Fuel of Jet Fuel/Gasoline as Fuel of Gasoline Engine

This paper has integrated various methods such as laboratory physical and chemical analysis, engine bench test and actual road test, etc. to conduct a feasibility study on the emergency alternative fuel of gasoline by mixed jet fuel and gasoline. The study shows that both the evaporability and anti-knock quality decrease after mixing jet fuel with gasoline. While the mixing proportion increases, the engine power decreases and the fuel consumption increases gradually. When the proportion reaches 40%, the engine power drops by 5.3% to 11.7%, the fuel consumption rises by an average of 3.8%, and meantime the oil dilution and emission of the engine power become worse. Therefore, as for the gasoline engine, the mixed oil can only be used as emergency alternative fuel due to its harm to the engine.

Analysis and Calibration of Internal Flow Force of EjectorPowered Engine Simulator System in Wind Tunnels

The ejector-powered engine simulator(EPES)system is an important piece of equipment in conducting an influence test of the intake and jet flow in low-speed wind tunnels.In this work,through the analysis of the structure and principle of EPES,three parts of the internal flow force were obtained,namely,the additional resistance before the inlet,the internal flow force in the inlet and the thrust produced by the ejector.On the assumption of one-dimensional isentropic adiabatic flow,the theoretical formulae for calculating the forces were derived according to the measured total pressure,static pressure and total temperature of the internal flow section.Subsequently,a calibration tank was used to calibrate the EPES system.On the basis of the characteristics of the EPES system,the process and method of its calibration were designed in detail,and the model installation interface of the calibration tank was reformed.By applying this method,the repeatability accuracy of the inlet flow rate calibration coefficient was less than0.05%,whereas that of the exhaust flow rate and velocity was less than 0.1%.Upon the application of the calibration coefficients to the correction of the wind tunnel experiment data,the results showed good agreement with the numerical simulation results in terms of regularity and magnitude before stall,which validates the reasonableness and feasibility of the calibration method.Analysis of the calibration data also demonstrated the consistency in the variation law and trend between the theoretical calculation and actual measurement of internal flow force,further reflecting the rationality and feasibility of the theoretical calculation.Nevertheless,the numerical difference was large and further widened with a higher ejection flow rate mainly because of the accuracy of flow measurement and the inhomogeneity of internal flow.The thrust deflection angle of EPES is an important factor in correcting this issue.In particular,the thrust deflection angle becomes larger with small ejection flow and becomes smaller with an increase in flow rate,essentially exhibiting a general change of less than 10°.

SIMILARITY SOLUTIONS OF ROUND JETS AND PLUMES

The turbulent flow of vertical round plume with temperature variation and round jet without temperature variation were studied. The k-Ε model with the effect of buoyancy on turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate was adopted. There were similarity solutions in the uniform environment for the system of equations including the equation of continuity, the equations of vertical momentum and heat flux, and the equations of k, Ε. The finite analytic method was applied to obtain the similarity solution. The calculated data of velocity and temperature distribution for round plumes were in good agreement with the experimental data at Prt=0.4. It shows that the present model is good, i.e., the effect of buoyancy on turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate and the conservation of momentum and heat flux should be taken into account, while in previous works these factors were neglected.

Jet Noise Reduction of Double-Mixing Exhaust System

A jet noise reduction technique by using the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer in the double-mixing exhaust system is investigated under cold conditions.The computations of jet field and the experiments of noise field are conducted with scaled model of high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine mixing exhaust system composed of external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer.The computational results indicate that comparing with the baseline nozzle with lobed mixer,the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer increases mixing of jet and ambient air near the nozzle exit.The experimental results show that the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer has better jet noise reduction at low frequencies,and this reduction rises with the increase of chevron bend angle.The experimental results also show that the external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer has sound pressure level(SPL)increase which is not obvious at high frequencies.With chevron bend angle increasing,SPL has relatively marked increase at 60°(directivity angle measured from upstream jet axis)and little fluctuations at 90°and 150°.The external chevron nozzle with lobed mixer has overall sound pressure level(OASPL)reduction in varying degrees at 60°and 150°,but it has little OASPL increase at 90°.

An experimental study on RP-3 jet fuel injection on a common rail injection system

RP-3 jet fuel could be an alternative fuel for diesel engines.In this study,the injection characteristics of RP-3jet fuel under single and split injection strategies were investigated and compared with diesel fuel.The experimental results indicate that RP-3 jet fuel has slightly shorter injection delay time than diesel fuel,but this difference is negligible in actual engine operations.Further,although the lower density and viscosity of RP-3 jet fuel lead to higher volumetric injection rates and cycle-based injection quantities,the cycle-based injection mass and the mass injection rates at the stable injection stage of RP-3 jet fuel are close to or slightly lower than those of diesel fuel.Based on these experimental observations,it could be concluded that fuel physical properties are the secondary factor influencing the injection characteristics in both single and split injection strategies,as RP-3 jet fuel and diesel fuel are taken for comparison.

为了研究封闭舱室内动态泄放氢喷射火焰形态、火焰高度、氧气体积分数、火焰上方中心线温度和侧壁气体温度的变化规律,开展了一系列封闭舱室氢喷射火试验。试验采用相机拍摄火焰形态,采用氧浓度传感器、热电偶测量舱室内指定点氧气体积分数和温度。试验结果表明,封闭舱室动态泄放氢喷射火焰形态演变过程分为氢气控制的喷射火和氧气控制的喷射火两种类型。前者的火焰演变过程分为四个阶段,即增长阶段、衰减阶段、升高阶段和熄灭阶段;后者的火焰演变过程分为三个阶段,即增长阶段、衰减阶段和自熄灭阶段。两种类型氢喷射火的氧气体积分数下降趋势明显不同。氢气控制的喷射火的氧气体积分数变化呈先近似线性下降再缓慢下降趋势,而氧气控制的喷射火的氧气体积分数呈近似线性下降趋势。同时,两者最小平均氧气体积分数与喷射压力呈线性下降趋势。舱内火焰上方中心线温度和侧壁气体温度变化的总体趋势大致相同,但氧气控制的喷射火温度下降过程中会出现明显的中断现象。喷射压力对封闭舱内氢喷射火作用下最大温升有显著的影响。基于本试验条件,建立了封闭舱室火焰上方中心线最大温升预测模型。
