摘要: 高超声速风洞的自由来流参数面临着准确测量难度大的挑战, 并且其准确度会制约对来流敏感的数值流场计算精度. 基于传统集合卡尔曼滤波(Ensemble Kalman Filter, EnKF)数据同化算法, 以风洞自由来流参数为研究对象, 提出了面向高速风洞的热力学正则集合卡尔曼滤波(Thermodynamics-Regularized Ensemble Kalman Filter, TEnKF)数据同化算法. 利用高超声速风洞中实验测量的稀疏壁面物理量和先验样本数值流场, TEnKF在目标函数和更新步中额外引入来流滞止参数作为正则项, 约束后验样本来流参数可张成的物理子空间, 以应对EnKF存在的不适定性问题. 通过在不同类型的高超声速风洞中开展的案例修正表明, TEnKF的性能优于EnKF, 对应重构流场与实验误差更小, 修正来流结果保证了与先验滞止参数的相容性. 通过敏感性和修正过程分析, 发现热力学正则改善了来流−壁面敏感性不均衡对修正结果的影响, 同时为卡尔曼滤波器间接引入了阻尼项, 修正过程更加稳定且利于收敛, 同时避免来流参数之间的修正独立问题. 因此, TEnKF能够为高速风洞来流提供更加可靠的修正算法, 提高数值预测的精度并降低不确定性.Abstract: Accurately measuring the freestream parameters in hypersonic wind tunnels presents a significant challenge. The rigorous accuracy of these critical parameters severely constrains the computational precision of freestream-sensitive numerical flow fields. Building upon the foundation of the traditional Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) data assimilation algorithm, and focusing on wind tunnel freestream parameters as the primary research subject, a novel Thermodynamics-Regularized Ensemble Kalman Filter (TEnKF) data assimilation algorithm is proposed for hypersonic wind tunnels. Utilizing sparse wall physical quantities experimentally measured on the test model surface alongside prior ensemble numerical flow fields, the proposed TEnKF algorithm additionally incorporates freestream fluid stagnation parameters as essential regularization terms within both the objective function and the update step. This strategic formulation effectively constrains the specific physical subspace spanned by the posterior ensemble of freestream parameters, thereby comprehensively addressing the inherent ill-posedness problem frequently encountered in the traditional EnKF. Comprehensive case corrections meticulously conducted across various distinct types of hypersonic wind tunnels consistently demonstrate that the performance of the TEnKF algorithm substantially outperforms the standard EnKF approach. Specifically, the corresponding reconstructed flow fields exhibit significantly smaller overall errors compared to experimental data, and the corrected freestream results strictly guarantee necessary compatibility with the prior stagnation parameters. Furthermore, detailed analyses concerning both parameter sensitivity and the algorithmic correction process clearly reveal that this thermodynamic regularization successfully mitigates the detrimental impact of freestream-wall sensitivity imbalances on final correction results. Concurrently, it indirectly introduces a vital damping term into the structure of the Kalman filter. Consequently, the ensuing correction process becomes remarkably more stable and highly conducive to rapid convergence, while simultaneously circumventing the highly problematic issue of isolated, independent corrections among interacting freestream parameters. Therefore, the TEnKF successfully provides a significantly more reliable and robust numerical correction algorithm for hypersonic wind tunnel freestreams, effectively improving computational prediction accuracy while substantially reducing associated uncertainties.
