摘要

高超声速低密度风洞是新一代临近空间和极低轨飞行器开展地面实验、精准设计气动外形的关键设备,其流场速度极快(Ma>20)、密度极低(10-5 kg/m3),气体分子易发生振动能冻结现象,导致传统的介入式测速方法测量偏差较大。飞秒激光电子激发标记(femtosecond laser electronexcitation tagging, FLEET)测速技术通过电离气体分子并采集电离通道位置变化,有望实现流场速度高精度测量,但受风洞外部环境即洞体构型所限,国内尚未实现大尺寸高超声速低密度风洞的速度直接测量。本文提出整形广场增强的分子激发方法,在中国航天空气动力技术研究院Φ1m高超声速低密度风洞中搭建了可精密调谐的飞秒激光传输与聚焦装置,开展了系列FLEET测速实验研究,分析了不同压力和不同延迟下的光丝形貌特征。获得了大尺寸、高马赫数(Ma>20)、极低压(静压0.1Pa量级)流场的FLEET测速结果,并与传统皮托管测速结果进行对比。结果表明:Ma=10.58工况下,FLEET测速结果与皮托管测速结果偏差为1.24%,验证了该技术在1Pa量级低压环境下的适用性;Ma=22.18工况下,两种技术的测量偏差为10.65%,极低气压下严重的荧光扩散效应和显著的振动能冻结可能是造成该偏差的主要原因。该实验装置的顺利搭建与运行,将进一步推动我国在临近空间和极低轨地面测试技术的发展。

Abstract

Hypersonic low-density wind tunnels are critical facilities for ground-based experiments and precise aerodynamic design of near-space and very-low-orbit aircraft. These tunnels feature extremely high flow velocities (Ma > 20) and extremely low densities (10?? kg/m3), where molecular vibrational energy frozen readily occurs, leading to significant measurement errors in conventional intrusive velocimetry methods. Femtosecond Laser Electron Excitation Tagging (FLEET) enables high-precision flow velocity measurement by ionizing gas molecules and tracking the displacement of the ionized channel. However, due to constraints imposed by the external tunnel configuration, direct velocity measurements in large-scale hypersonic low-density wind tunnels have not yet been achieved in China. In this study, we propose a shaped electric field-enhanced molecular excitation method and establish a precisely tunable femtosecond laser transmission and focusing system in the Φ1 m hypersonic low-density wind tunnel at the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics. A series of FLEET velocimetry experiments were conducted, and the morphological characteristics of the filament under varying pressure and delay conditions were analyzed. FLEET velocity measurements were successfully obtained in a large-scale flow field characterized by high Mach numbers (Ma > 20) and extremely low static pressure (on the order of 0.1 Pa). The results were compared with conventional Pitot tube measurements. At Ma = 10.58, the deviation between FLEET and Pitot tube measurements was 1.24%, demonstrating the applicability of this technique in low-pressure environments on the order of 1 Pa. At Ma = 22.18, the deviation increased to 10.65%. Severe fluorescence diffusion and significant vibrational energy frozen under extremely low pressure are likely the main causes of this discrepancy. The successful implementation and operation of this experimental system will further advance the development of ground-based testing technologies for near-space and very-low-orbit applications in China.
