摘要:
针对航空发动机提高推重比的问题,提出涡轮后框架支板、径向火焰稳定器、喷油杆一体化的加力燃烧室设计方案,开展不同油气比和涵道比下加力燃烧室热态流场和燃烧特性大涡模拟研究。揭示燃烧室温度、速度、压力的分布特征及其对燃烧过程的影响。探究燃油液滴、氧气、二氧化碳和水的分布状况。建立机器学习模型,以内涵进气压力、进气温度、喷油量、涵道比、轴向距离为输入变量,对总压恢复系数、温度均匀性系数、燃烧效率进行了预测。结果表明:该一体化加力燃烧室的整体燃烧性能良好,仅在火焰下方观察到局部燃烧弱化区。燃烧室前部存在3个低速回流区,分别位于强火焰区、喷油杆中下部和中心锥尾部。随着油气比增大,燃烧效率下降;随着涵道比增加,燃烧效率提高。所建机器学习模型训练集和测试集的校正决定系数大于0.788,预测效果较好。
Abstract:An afterburner design concept that integrated the fuel injection pipe, radial flame stabilizer, and turbine rear frame support plate was suggested as a solution to the problem of increasing the thrust-to-weight ratio of aero-engine. The thermal flow field and combustion characteristics of the afterburner under different kerosene-air ratios and bypass ratios were investigated through large eddy simulation. Distribution characteristics of the temperature, velocity, and pressure in the combustion chamber and their impacts on the combustion process were studied. The distributions of fuel droplets, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water were analyzed. Using the intake pressure, intake temperature, fuel rate, bypass ratio, and axial distance as input variables, the machine learning method was developed and predictions were made for the total pressure recovery coefficient, temperature uniformity coefficient, and combustion efficiency. The results indicate that the overall combustion performance of the integrated afterburner is high, and only a localized combustion weakening zone is observed below the flame. There are three low-velocity recirculation zones in front of the combustion chamber, located in the strong flame zone, the middle and lower parts of the fuel injection pipe, and the tail of the central cone. As the kerosene-air ratio increases, the combustion efficiency is decreased, while an increase in bypass ratio leads to an improvement in combustion efficiency. The proposed machine learning model has a corrected determination coefficient greater than 0.788 for both the training and testing datasets, indicating good predictive performance.
