Abstract

Shock Wave/Boundary Layer Interaction (SWBLI) is a common flow phenomenon in high speed inlet. SWBLI-induced significant boundary layer separation often leads to a serious decline in inlet aerodynamic performance. Therefore, a shock wave/boundary layer interaction control method based on a novel oscillating vortex generator array is proposed in this paper. The flow field of oscillating vortex generator array is studied with a simulation method based on the dynamic grid technology. The effectiveness of the method is tested and the influence law of related parameters studied. The results show that the oscillating vortex generator can induce the vortex system structure with variable oscillation intensity in the supersonic boundary layer, enhancing the mixing effect of the flow and high-speed mainstream in the boundary layer. Meanwhile, the unique “extrusion” and “suction” characteristics of the vortex generator in the oscillation process continue to charge the airflow, and the velocity distribution in the boundary layer is significantly increased. In terms of SWBLI control, with the increase of oscillation frequency of the vortex generator, its charging effect on the low-speed airflow in the boundary layer is enhanced, and its control effect on the SWBLI flow field is more obvious, and the shape factor can be reduced by up to 28%. When the shock wave incident is at 34hv downstream of the vortex generator (where hv is the maximum height of the vortex generator), the control effect of the oscillating vortex generator array is the best, and the length of the separation zone can be reduced by 25% compared with that without the vortex generator control. A height of 30 mm (z=30 mm) is intercepted at x=270 mm downstream of the vortex generator and set as the monitoring surface. Compared with the fixed geometry vortex generator, the total pressure recovery coefficient and Mach number are increased by 5% and 2.4%, respectively.
