Abstract:
Cold-flow test is an important method for air-breathing vehicle to validate the inlet capability and aerodynamic characteristics. An airframe/propulsion integrative cruise vehicle with scramjet egine was designed; two-dimensional mixed-compression inlet and airframe/propulsion system coupling was used. The cold-flow wind tunnel test of the model was finished in hypersonic wind tunnel. Experimental data was measured when free Mach number was 5.0,6.0,7.0, and angle of attack was between -4° and 8°. The pressure performance test results indicate that, with the increase of the free stream Mach number, the total pressure recovery coefficient decreases, while the mass flow ratio increases firstly, and the maximum is obtained at design point; with the range of the angle of attack to a certainty, the total pressure recovery coefficient and the flow ratio increases. But after the cruise angle of attack, with the increase of the angle of attack, the total pressure recovery coefficient and the mass flow ratio decreases. The aerodynamics force performance wind tunnel test results validate the efficiency of the numerical simulation method, which shows a consistent trend with the experimental results, except the axial force coefficient. The aerodynamics characteristics of air-breathing hypersonic cruise vehicle could be obtained by revising the experimental results.
