超声速欠膨胀射流中马赫盘变化规律数值研究

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE VARIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF MACH DISK IN SUPERSONIC UNDEREXPANDED JETS

  • 摘要: 欠膨胀射流是超声速流动中的一种基本流态, 关于声速欠膨胀射流已经建立了相对完善的理论体系, 但目前对超声速射流形成的欠膨胀射流相关研究较少. 本文针对由Laval喷管形成的超声速欠膨胀射流开展数值模拟, 从第一激波室长度与马赫盘直径入手, 重点关注和马赫盘结构特征的变化规律. 先通过量纲分析筛选出影响第一激波室长度与马赫盘直径变化的关键影响因素, 然后针对关键影响因素设计对比算例, 通过求解定常纳维-斯托克斯方程获取流场结构. 算例结果表明, 雷诺数在波系结构的形成与变化中影响较小, 而第一激波室长度与马赫盘直径主要由出口压力与环境压力的比值与出口马赫数共同决定: 第一激波室长度与出口马赫数的2.5次方成正比, 与压比的0.5次方成正比; 马赫盘直径与出口马赫数成正比, 与压比大于1部分的0.66次方成正比. 最后文中通过对数值模拟的结果进行拟合, 得到了预测第一激波室长度与马赫盘直径的经验公式并进行了可靠性验证, 能够为超声速欠膨胀射流的结构预测提供参考.

     

    Abstract: Underexpanded jets constitute a fundamental and widely observed flow regime in supersonic flows and are of significant practical importance. While sonic underexpanded jets have been studied extensively and a relatively complete theoretical framework exists, underexpanded jets that originate from a supersonic nozzle exit have received comparatively little attention. In the present study, numerical simulations are carried out for supersonic underexpanded jets generated by a Laval nozzle. The investigation focuses on the structural features of the Mach disk, specifically the first shock cell length and the Mach disk diameter, which serve as the main geometric descriptors. To identify the key parameters governing these quantities, a dimensional analysis is first performed. Based on the identified dimensionless groups, a series of comparative test cases are designed by systematically varying the exit Mach number and the exit-to-ambient pressure ratio. The steady, compressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved to obtain the corresponding flow fields. The numerical results reveal that the Reynolds number has only a minor impact on the formation and variation of the shock-wave pattern within the parameter range considered. In contrast, both the first shock cell length and the Mach disk diameter are predominantly controlled by the combined effect of the exit-to-ambient pressure ratio and the exit Mach number. In particular, the first shock cell length is found to scale with the exit Mach number raised to the power 2.5 and the pressure ratio raised to the power 0.5. The Mach disk diameter scales with the exit Mach number and with the excess of the pressure ratio over unity raised to the power 0.66. These scaling laws are observed to hold consistently for all simulated conditions. Finally, empirical correlations for the first shock cell length and the Mach disk diameter are derived by fitting the numerical data. Comparisons between the correlation predictions and the simulation results confirm their accuracy and reliability. The proposed correlations thus offer a practical and validated reference for predicting the shock structure in supersonic underexpanded jets, facilitating both fundamental research and design.
