The capability of streamwise riblets to reduce skin friction in turbulent boundary layers has been well-documented at high Reynolds numbers. Yet, their fundamental mechanisms in controlling separation bubbles in low-Re compressor cascades are still poorly understood. This study employs direct numerical simulation (DNS) based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to investigate how bio-inspired streamwise riblets alter the dynamics of laminar separation bubbles in a compressor cascade at Re = 0.9 × 10⁵. Rectangular riblets, inspired by shark denticle morphology, are arrayed along the suction surface. Results reveal that riblets induce an earlier onset of separation but significantly shorten the laminar separation bubble by 32 % through promoting earlier shear layer reattachment. A key finding in the baseline smooth case is the identification of a novel mechanism for streamwise vortex formation: secondary vortices generate between shedding roll-ups and develop into streamwise vortices via mutual attraction and wrapping. Riblets alter this process by generating strong counter-rotating streamwise vortex pairs within the riblet valleys, enhancing coherence and delay dissipation of shedding vortices. This stabilization is accompanied by a 53 % reduction in spanwise velocity fluctuations and a redistribution of Reynolds stresses. Consequently, total pressure loss is reduced by 4 %, attributed to modulated vortex dynamics rather than classical shear stress suppression. This work establishes a “dual regulatory mechanism”, wherein riblets simultaneously destabilize the shear layer to promote transition and stabilize vortical structures to prolong their coherence, as a new theoretical framework that extends their role beyond passive drag reduction.
在高雷诺数条件下,流向纹波减少湍流边界层表面摩擦的能力已经得到了充分的证明。然而,它们控制低re压气机叶栅分离气泡的基本机制仍然知之甚少。本研究采用基于晶格玻尔兹曼方法(LBM)的直接数值模拟(DNS)来研究在Re = 0.9 × 10 5时,生物启发的流纹如何改变压气机级联中层流分离气泡的动力学。矩形条纹,灵感来自鲨鱼的小齿形态,排列在吸力表面。结果表明,细纹诱导分离开始时间提前,但通过促进剪切层再附着,使层流分离泡明显缩短32%。在基线光滑情况下的一个关键发现是确定了流向涡形成的新机制:在脱落卷起之间产生二次涡,并通过相互吸引和包裹发展成流向涡。纹波改变了这一过程,在纹波谷内产生强烈的反向旋转的流向涡对,增强了脱落涡的相干性和延迟消散。这种稳定性伴随着沿展向速度波动减少53%和雷诺应力的重新分布。因此,总压损失减少了4%,这归功于调制旋涡动力学,而不是传统的剪切应力抑制。这项工作建立了一种“双重调节机制”,其中波纹同时破坏剪切层的稳定以促进过渡,并稳定旋涡结构以延长其连贯性,作为一种新的理论框架,将其作用扩展到被动减阻之外。

Laminar flow drag reduction is a key technology for enhancing the overall performance of supersonic civil aircraft. Therefore, it is essential to conduct in-depth research on the transition prediction model for supersonic laminar wings and to evaluate the sensitivity of laminar flow maintenance capability to external disturbances. This paper first establishes a transition prediction method that couples the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with linear stability theory. Subsequently, the accuracy of this transition prediction method is validated through wind tunnel tests on a standard model, and the transition threshold is calibrated. On this basis, a global sensitivity analysis model for transition prediction is constructed by comprehensively considering multiple sources of uncertainty in geometric parameters and the experimental conditions. Furthermore, an adaptive multiple response Gaussian process method is developed to solve this global sensitivity model. By introducing a learning function oriented toward average error reduction, the computational efficiency of the Kriging method is significantly improved. Ultimately, only 26 calls to the computational fluid dynamics solver are required to complete the solution of the global sensitivity model for supersonic laminar wing transition. The results indicate that the transition location is most significantly influenced by the transition threshold, followed by the angle of attack, while the impact of geometric uncertainty is relatively minor.
层流减阻是提高超音速民用飞机整体性能的关键技术。因此,深入研究超声速层流机翼的转捩预测模型,评估层流维持能力对外界扰动的敏感性是十分必要的。本文首先建立了一种将reynolds - average Navier-Stokes方程与线性稳定性理论耦合的过渡预测方法。随后,通过标准模型的风洞试验验证了该过渡预测方法的准确性,并对过渡阈值进行了标定。在此基础上,综合考虑几何参数和实验条件的多不确定性源,构建了过渡预测的全局灵敏度分析模型。在此基础上,提出了一种自适应多响应高斯过程求解全局灵敏度模型的方法。通过引入面向平均误差缩减的学习函数,大大提高了Kriging方法的计算效率。最终,只需调用计算流体动力学求解器26次,即可完成超声速层流机翼转捩全局灵敏度模型的求解。结果表明,过渡阈值对过渡位置的影响最为显著,攻角次之,而几何不确定性的影响相对较小。

Addressing the escalating cooling demands and energy consumption challenges in modern turbine blade design, an innovative evaluation method integrating cooling effectiveness and aerodynamic loss assessment is developed in this study. These two critical parameters through Generalized Pareto Distribution theory and entropy generation principles are coupled by the proposed methodology, establishing a thermodynamically consistent foundation via rigorous mathematical derivation. Three parts are comprised in the framework: (1) Core modules derived from first principles eliminating empirical parameter dependence; (2) Multi-scale adjustment capability like a micrometer; (3) Dual validation system of sensitivity analysis and experimental-numerical case validation. Strong agreement with established cooling trends is demonstrated through validation using flat plate and cascade experimental data, which makes sure the rationale behind this method. Analysis and results are conducted in numerical simulations: (1) Quantitative trade-off relationships between cooling/loss parameters; (2) Non-adiabatic flow field characteristics through detailed vorticity analysis; (3) Adaptive performance across varying cooling configurations of hole patterns and blowing ratios. Local mechanism details under non-adiabatic condition are reflected by numerical simulations as a local and partial supplement.

Experimental investigation of pulsed fluidic thrust vectoring in a Mach 1.6 axisymmetric jet using transverse air injection for enhanced vectoring efficiency 1.6马赫轴对称射流中脉冲射流推力矢量的横向喷射实验研究
IF 5.8 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, AEROSPACE Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.ast.2026.111860

This study experimentally investigates fluidic thrust vectoring (FTV) in a Mach 1.6 axisymmetric jet using pulsed transverse air injection located 3.57 mm upstream of the nozzle exit. The influence of actuation frequency, duty cycle, and momentum ratio on jet deflection and vectoring efficiency is systematically examined, with direct comparison between steady and pulsed injection modes. Experiments were conducted using a precision-machined converging–diverging nozzle, employing wall-pressure measurements, total-pressure rake diagnostics, and Schlieren visualisation. Results show that pulsed injection consistently achieves higher mass-specific vectoring efficiency than steady injection at identical supply pressures, producing comparable jet deflection with reduced secondary mass flow. Maximum efficiency is observed at low duty cycles (20–25%) and forcing frequencies near 200 Hz. Numerical characterisation using a convective timescale and corresponding Strouhal number indicates that this frequency range aligns with dominant supersonic shear-layer instability modes. Analytical scaling relations and symbolic manipulation reveal a nonlinear dependence of vectoring efficiency on duty cycle and frequency, explaining the observed transition between efficient unsteady forcing and quasi-steady behaviour. Schlieren images confirm periodic bow-shock oscillations and transient asymmetry under pulsed actuation, demonstrating the effectiveness of unsteady fluidic control for supersonic jet vectoring.

To address the challenge of predicting particle deposition characteristics on high-temperature air-cooled turbine in aero-engines, this work develops a high-temperature particle collision and deposition criterion based on the Weber number of molten particles. The effects of film cooling blowing ratio, hole geometry, particle diameter, and thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) on particle deposition behavior near film cooling holes are analyzed. The proposed model accurately predicts particle transport and deposition under large thermal gradients within air-cooled turbine cascade passages across a wide temperature range. Results show that particles are mainly deposited at the exits of the film cooling holes, in the leading-edge stagnation regions, and between the downstream cooling zones, forming pronounced internal blockage, horseshoe-shaped accumulation region, and ridge-like deposition band, respectively. With increasing blowing ratio, both deposition efficiency and deposition rate decrease nonlinearly, and the downstream ridge-like deposition becomes more prominent. When the blowing ratio increases from M = 0.5 to M = 3, particle deposition efficiency decreases by approximately 67 %. Compared with cylindrical holes, fan-shaped holes reduce total particle deposition by 5 %-42 % and suppress the downstream ridge deposition pattern, but increase deposition inside the holes. Applying TBCs increases the overall particle deposition rate by 14 %-27 %, enhances surface deposition, and accentuates the downstream ridge-like deposition structures. The particle diffusion deposition mechanism (St < 0.1), particle diffusion-collision deposition mechanism (0.1 < St < 1), and particle inertial buffering deposition mechanism (St > 1) are the main causes of the aforementioned deposition characteristics. Different blowing ratios, hole geometries, and TBCs all change the spatial scale and intensity of the counter-rotating vortex pairs, which dominate the two basic transport physics of particle ejection and entrainment, thereby determining the particle deposition characteristics. This study provides theoretical insights and quantitative data to support an understanding of particle deposition, film hole blockage, cooling performance degradation, TBCs failure, and blade erosion in turbine environments.
为了解决预测航空发动机高温气冷涡轮颗粒沉积特性的挑战,本文基于熔融颗粒韦伯数建立了高温颗粒碰撞和沉积准则。分析了气膜冷却吹气比、孔几何形状、颗粒直径和热障涂层对气膜冷却孔附近颗粒沉积行为的影响。该模型准确地预测了风冷涡轮叶栅通道在大温度梯度下的颗粒输运和沉积。结果表明:颗粒主要沉积在气膜冷却孔出口处、前缘停滞区和下游冷却区之间,分别形成明显的内部堵塞、马蹄形堆积区和脊状沉积带;随着吹气比的增大,沉积效率和沉积速率均呈非线性降低,下游脊状沉积更加突出。当吹气比从M = 0.5增加到M = 3时,颗粒沉积效率降低约67%。与圆柱形孔相比,扇形孔使颗粒沉积总量减少5% ~ 42%,抑制了下游脊状沉积模式,但增加了孔内沉积。tbc的应用使颗粒沉积速率提高了14% - 27%,增强了表面沉积,并突出了下游脊状沉积结构。粒子扩散沉积机制(St < 0.1)、粒子扩散-碰撞沉积机制(0.1 < St < 1)和粒子惯性缓冲沉积机制(St > 1)是形成上述沉积特征的主要原因。不同的吹气比、孔洞几何形状和TBCs都改变了对旋涡对的空间尺度和强度,而对旋涡对主导着颗粒喷射和夹带两种基本输运物理,从而决定了颗粒沉积特征。该研究提供了理论见解和定量数据,以支持对涡轮环境中颗粒沉积、膜孔堵塞、冷却性能下降、tbc故障和叶片侵蚀的理解。

Inverse analysis of force recovery using soft computing approach for short duration experiments 基于软计算方法的短时间试验力恢复逆分析

Aerodynamic vehicles experience impulsive forces, which are critical concerns for high-speed atmospheric travel. In high-speed atmospheric flight, vehicles moving at supersonic or hypersonic velocities generate shock waves due to the rapid compression of air in front of them. These shock wave-induced forces can have damaging effects on the vehicle’s surface, making it essential to quantify them for the design and optimization of aerospace structures. Conducting real-time experiments poses significant challenges due to practical limitations; therefore, ground-based testing is performed using aerodynamic models in shock tubes and shock tunnels. A defining characteristic of these facilities is the extremely short duration (milliseconds or less) of test window. Prior to actual experimentation, these models must undergo proper calibration for accurate force prediction. In this study, a hemispherical model equipped with a stress-wave force balance is utilized for calibration. The balance, integrated within the model, includes a piezofilm that records strain signals corresponding to the applied force acting on the model’s nose. Strain signals are captured for different force magnitudes and subsequently used for force training and recovery. In shock tube experiment, the calibrated signals are used for the prediction of unknown forces. Two different flow conditions are examined, determined by the type of diaphragm placed between the driver and driven sections: one using a single Mylar sheet and the other using a double Mylar arrangement. For each condition, three repeated experiments are carried out. It is also observed that the inverse recovery of aerodynamic forces in short-duration experimental environments is inherently nonlinear due to wave dispersion, sensor dynamics, and the absence of equilibrium during impulsive loading. In this work, these nonlinear effects are explicitly addressed through a data-driven soft-computing framework, which enables accurate force prediction without relying on linear system assumptions. By employing an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), the proposed approach captures the complex and nonlinear relationship between measured strain signals and applied forces under transient shock-tube conditions. The results demonstrate that nonlinear modeling significantly enhances force recovery accuracy as compared to conventional deconvolution methods, particularly in millisecond testing environments.
气动飞行器会受到冲力的影响,这是高速大气飞行的关键问题。在高速大气飞行中,以超音速或高超音速飞行的飞行器由于其前方空气的快速压缩而产生冲击波。这些冲击波引起的力会对飞行器表面产生破坏性影响,因此量化它们对于航空航天结构的设计和优化至关重要。由于实际限制,进行实时实验带来了重大挑战;因此,地面试验采用了激波管和激波隧道中的气动模型。这些设备的一个决定性特征是测试窗口的持续时间极短(毫秒或更短)。在实际实验之前,这些模型必须经过适当的校准,以准确预测力。本研究采用带应力波力平衡的半球形模型进行标定。集成在模型中的天平包括一个压膜,该压膜记录与作用在模型鼻子上的施加力相对应的应变信号。应变信号捕获不同的力量大小,随后用于力量训练和恢复。在激波管实验中,将标定后的信号用于未知力的预测。检查了两种不同的流动条件,由放置在驱动器和被驱动部分之间的隔膜类型决定:一种使用单个聚酯薄膜,另一种使用双聚酯薄膜布置。对每种条件进行三次重复实验。研究还发现,由于波动频散、传感器动力学以及脉冲加载过程中缺乏平衡,短时间实验环境中气动力的逆恢复本质上是非线性的。在这项工作中,这些非线性效应通过数据驱动的软计算框架得到明确解决,该框架可以在不依赖线性系统假设的情况下进行准确的力预测。通过采用自适应神经模糊推理系统(ANFIS),该方法捕获了瞬态激波管条件下测量应变信号与施加力之间的复杂非线性关系。结果表明,与传统的反褶积方法相比,非线性建模显著提高了力恢复精度,特别是在毫秒测试环境中。

These shock wave-induced forces can have damaging effects on the vehicle’s surface, making it essential to quantify them for the design and optimization of aerospace structures. Conducting real-time experiments poses significant challenges due to practical limitations; therefore, ground-based testing is performed using aerodynamic models in shock tubes and shock tunnels. A defining characteristic of these facilities is the extremely short duration (milliseconds or less) of test window. Prior to actual experimentation, these models must undergo proper calibration for accurate force prediction. In this study, a hemispherical model equipped with a stress-wave force balance is utilized for calibration. The balance, integrated within the model, includes a piezofilm that records strain signals corresponding to the applied force acting on the model’s nose. Strain signals are captured for different force magnitudes and subsequently used for force training and recovery. In shock tube experiment, the calibrated signals are used for the prediction of unknown forces. Two different flow conditions are examined, determined by the type of diaphragm placed between the driver and driven sections: one using a single Mylar sheet and the other using a double Mylar arrangement. For each condition, three repeated experiments are carried out. It is also observed that the inverse recovery of aerodynamic forces in short-duration experimental environments is inherently nonlinear due to wave dispersion, sensor dynamics, and the absence of equilibrium during impulsive loading. In this work, these nonlinear effects are explicitly addressed through a data-driven soft-computing framework, which enables accurate force prediction without relying on linear system assumptions. By employing an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), the proposed approach captures the complex and nonlinear relationship between measured strain signals and applied forces under transient shock-tube conditions. The results demonstrate that nonlinear modeling significantly enhances force recovery accuracy as compared to conventional deconvolution methods, particularly in millisecond testing environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50955,"journal":{"name":"Aerospace Science and Technology","volume":"173 ","pages":"Article 111794"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146071630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fuel struts are widely used in scramjet combustors to enhance the fuel-air mixing efficiency and stabilize the combustion process. To address the extreme aerodynamic heating from the mainstream, the present study employed gaseous active cooling based on microchannels to protect the fuel strut. The effects of channel geometric parameters (including leading-edge channel expansion ratios, channel-to-wall angles, and channel widths) on the thermal-fluidic performance were numerically investigated. With a leading-edge channel expansion ratio of 3 and 4, the average cooling effectiveness in the leading-edge region reached a maximum of 11.67 % higher than that without expansion. The variation of the channel-to-wall angle primarily influenced the temperature distribution along the inclined wall. For the strut with a channel-to-wall angle of 45°, the low-temperature zone induced by the expansion fan effectively decreased the wall temperature, while it had the most severe relative pressure loss within channels, reaching a maximum of 0.317 along the inclined wall and 0.297 along the upper wall. Furthermore, while increased channel widths contributed to the temperature reduction of the inclined and upper walls, the accompanying complex wall vortices altered the distribution pattern of total pressure loss within the channels. The present study provides valuable references for the design of the cooling structure for the scramjet fuel strut.
燃料支板广泛应用于超燃冲压发动机燃烧室中,以提高燃料-空气混合效率,稳定燃烧过程。为了解决来自主流的极端气动加热问题,本研究采用基于微通道的气体主动冷却来保护燃料支柱。数值研究了通道几何参数(包括前缘通道膨胀比、通道与壁面角和通道宽度)对热流性能的影响。当前缘通道膨胀比为3和4时,前缘区域的平均冷却效率最高,比未膨胀时提高11.67%。通道与壁面夹角的变化主要影响沿倾斜壁面的温度分布。对于通道-壁面角为45°的支板,膨胀风机诱导的低温区有效降低了壁面温度,但通道内相对压力损失最为严重,沿斜壁面最大,为0.317,沿上壁面最大,为0.297。此外,虽然通道宽度的增加有助于倾斜壁面和上壁面的温度降低,但伴随的复杂壁面涡改变了通道内总压损失的分布模式。本研究为超燃冲压发动机燃料支板冷却结构的设计提供了有价值的参考。

Accelerating physical simulations via deep learning is a promising yet challenging endeavor, largely due to the prohibitive cost of labeled data generation and the risk of overfitting. This paper presents DSSL, a novel self-supervised learning paradigm that integrates dimensional consistency into the training objective. By subjecting physical state variables to scale transformations derived from governing laws, DSSL compels the network to learn representations that are invariant to scaling. This mechanism effectively shifts the learning focus from statistical memorization to the internalization of physical constraints. In experiments predicting satellite thermal fields, the proposed method demonstrates significant improvements over standard supervised learning, offering a robust solution for high-fidelity physical field reconstruction in low-data regimes.
通过深度学习加速物理模拟是一项有前途但具有挑战性的工作,主要是由于标记数据生成的成本过高以及过度拟合的风险。本文提出了一种将维度一致性与训练目标相结合的新型自监督学习范式DSSL。通过使物理状态变量服从从控制定律派生的尺度变换,DSSL迫使网络学习对尺度不变的表示。这种机制有效地将学习重点从统计记忆转移到物理约束的内化。在预测卫星热场的实验中,所提出的方法比标准的监督学习有了显著的改进,为低数据条件下的高保真物理场重建提供了一个强大的解决方案。

An experimental study of ice accretion characteristics on a UAV propeller in forward flight 无人机螺旋桨前飞吸冰特性实验研究

An experimental study was conducted to characterize the dynamic ice accretion process on the rotating propeller blades of a multi-rotor Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle (UAV) in forward flight and to evaluate the aerodynamic penalties induced by the ice accretion under various icing conditions. The experiments were conducted in an Icing Research Tunnel available at Iowa State University with a UAV propeller model exposed to glaze and rime icing conditions typically encountered by UAVs flying in low-altitude airspace. During the experiments, while a synchronized high-speed imaging approach was employed to acquire “phase-locked” images to reveal the dynamic ice accretion process over rotating propeller blades under different icing conditions, a high-resolution 3D scanning system was utilized to characterize the 3D shapes the ice structures accreted on the blades at the ends of the icing experiments. Simultaneous measurements of generated thrust force and power consumption characteristics of the propeller model were also performed to evaluate the icing-induced performance deteriorations. The acquired ice accretion images were correlated with the quantitative measurements of 3D shapes of the accreted ice structures, time evolution of the generated thrust force and power consumption characteristics of the propeller model to elucidate underlying icing physics. The high-quality, quantitative measurement results can also be used to validate/verify theoretical ice accretion models and numerical simulations for more accurate predictions of UAV inflight icing phenomena.

Influence of aerodynamic shape on the plasma sheath and terahertz communication of hypersonic vehicles: Laws, mechanisms, and shape schemes 气动形状对高超声速飞行器等离子体护套和太赫兹通信的影响:规律、机制和形状方案

A systematic and quantitative investigation of the influence of aerodynamic shape on terahertz communication of hypersonic vehicles is critical for advancing vehicle design and communication systems. However, prior studies have primarily focused on typical vehicle geometries and inter-vehicle type comparisons, with limited systematic analysis of individual shape variables and their coupled effects. Here, a co-simulation model combining non-equilibrium plasma flow and terahertz transmission is developed to systematically explore the effects of nose radius, tail size, fuselage length, and multi-parameter shape variables, and the model is validated through comparisons with shock tube and terahertz ground transmission experiments, and flight data. Results indicate that nose radius exerts the strongest influence compared with tail width and fuselage length. Enlarging the nose radius induces a non-monotonic increase in peak electron density and collision frequency, accompanied by a monotonic growth in sheath thickness, with optimal terahertz communication achieved at a moderate radius with 8 cm. Increasing the tail width enhances electron density and collision frequency but reduces sheath thickness, leading to non-monotonic variations in terahertz attenuation, with narrower tails generally supporting better communication performance. By contrast, fuselage length produces an opposite trend in plasma sheath, yet terahertz attenuation decreases monotonically with increasing length. Finally, a multi-parameter aerodynamic optimization is performed, revealing that a balanced configuration combining a moderate nose radius, narrower tail width, and elongated fuselage achieve the optimal trade-off among plasma sheath properties, minimizes terahertz attenuation, and provides an effective aerodynamic strategy for mitigating blackout problem.
系统、定量地研究气动外形对高超声速飞行器太赫兹通信的影响,对于改进飞行器设计和通信系统至关重要。然而,以往的研究主要集中在典型的车辆几何形状和车型间的比较,对单个形状变量及其耦合效应的系统分析有限。本文建立了非平衡等离子体流与太赫兹传输相结合的联合仿真模型,系统探讨了机头半径、尾翼尺寸、机身长度和多参数形状变量对模型的影响,并通过激波管和太赫兹地面传输实验以及飞行数据的对比对模型进行了验证。结果表明,与尾宽和机身长度相比,机头半径的影响最大。增大机头半径导致峰值电子密度和碰撞频率的非单调增加,同时伴随鞘层厚度的单调增长,在8厘米的中等半径下实现最佳太赫兹通信。增加尾部宽度可以提高电子密度和碰撞频率,但会减少护套厚度,导致太赫兹衰减的非单调变化,而较窄的尾部通常支持更好的通信性能。相比之下,机身长度在等离子体鞘层产生相反的趋势,但太赫兹衰减随长度的增加而单调减小。最后,进行了多参数气动优化,结果表明,适度的机头半径、较窄的尾宽和较长的机身相结合的平衡配置实现了等离子体护套性能的最佳权衡,最大限度地减少了太赫兹衰减,为缓解blackout问题提供了有效的气动策略。
