Guiding device for inhibiting secondary flow in S-shaped air inlet channel
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field related to air inlets of aircrafts, in particular to a flow guiding device for restraining secondary flow in an S-shaped air inlet.
Background
The S-shaped air inlet is compact in structure and good in stealth performance, and fighters widely adopt the S-shaped air inlet to provide continuous air flow for the engine. The main function of the air inlet is to reduce the speed and boost the air flow, so the cross section area of the S-shaped air inlet is gradually increased along the flowing direction, and meanwhile, the center line of the S-shaped air inlet is a curve in an S shape due to the compact structure of the S-shaped air inlet. The increasing cross-sectional area in the S-shaped inlet causes the longitudinal air flow to flow split against the counter-pressure gradient, while the curved centerline causes secondary flow to exist inside the S-shaped inlet, so the S-shaped inlet internal flow is typical of flow in a curved expanding duct. The longitudinal flow separation and the transverse secondary flow inside the S-shaped air inlet channel can cause the total pressure loss and the uneven total pressure distribution of the air flow. The total pressure loss of the air inlet channel can cause the loss of the engine thrust, and researches show that about two percent of the engine thrust loss is caused by one percent of the total pressure loss, and the service life of the engine can be influenced by uneven air flow total pressure distribution on the cross section of the air inlet channel. For the above reasons, it is necessary to improve the quality of the air flow in the S-shaped inlet by effective flow control means for improving the performance of the engine.
In the past, it has been essential to improve the flow field quality inside the S-shaped inlet from the standpoint of suppressing flow separation, such as vortex generators and blow-in gas control measures. Flow control measures for improving the quality of the flow field in the S-shaped air inlet channel from the viewpoint of inhibiting the secondary flow in the air inlet channel are not presented.

The invention aims to provide a flow guiding device for restraining secondary flow in an S-shaped air inlet channel, so as to solve the problems in the prior art, and restrain the secondary flow in the S-shaped air inlet channel, thereby improving the quality of a flow field in the S-shaped air inlet channel and improving the performance of an engine.

The invention provides a flow guiding device for inhibiting secondary flow in an S-shaped air inlet channel, which comprises two flow guiding sheets 2 positioned in the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, wherein the arrangement direction of the flow guiding sheets 2 is parallel to the central line of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 in order to determine the arrangement mode and the geometric dimension of the flow guiding sheets 2 and reduce the total pressure distortion under the condition of not increasing the total pressure loss, as shown in fig. 1 and 2. According to the invention, the guide vanes 2 are designed from the aspect of restraining secondary flow, and because the guide vanes 2 are used for adjusting the direction of main flow, the two guide vanes 2 are arranged in the main flow area of the transition section of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, and the main flow direction of the transition section of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 is adjusted to meet the turning requirement of the curved wall surface, so that the quality of the flow field in the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 is improved, and the performance of an engine is improved.
The two sides of the guide vane 2 are respectively cut off to form two rectangular grooves, four bulges positioned on the two sides are formed at the two ends of the guide vane 2 after the two rectangular grooves are cut off and serve as connecting parts, the connecting parts are welded on the wall surface of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 through contact points at the tail ends of the connecting parts, the guide vane 2 is incompletely connected to the wall surface of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, corner vortex at the joint of the guide vane 2 and the wall surface of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 is avoided, a certain distance is reserved between the guide vane 2 and the upper wall surface and the lower wall surface of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 for adjusting the main flow direction to a large extent, and the distance between the two guide vanes 2 is 0.4 times of the cross section diameter of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1. The number of guide vanes 2 can be increased according to the curvature of the central line of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1.
When the invention works, uniform air flow enters the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, and the guide vane 2 positioned at the transition section of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 enables the air flow to meet the turning requirement of the curved wall surface by adjusting the main flow direction, so that secondary flow in the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 can be restrained, and meanwhile, the flow separation area in the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 can be reduced. The guide vane 2 introduced in the main flow area of the transition section of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1 has obvious effect on adjusting the main flow direction in the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, the guide vane 2 can not only effectively inhibit the non-uniformity generated by the secondary flow in the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, but also has a control effect on the flow separation of the wall surface of the S-shaped air inlet channel 1, thereby obviously improving the air flow quality on the AIP section and the performance of the engine.
