Effect of Dynamic Microvortex Generator on SWBLI Based on FD-06 Wind Tunnel
Publication: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Volume 36, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper focuses on the shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) at the compression corner. The concept of dynamic microvortex generator (Dy-MVG) is proposed based on the flow control mechanism. A high-precision drive system is used to control the periodic oscillation of the microvortex generator, thereby injecting controllable dynamic disturbances into the boundary layer. Based on the Feng Dong (FD)-06 wind tunnel, the control effect and mechanism of Dy-MVG on SWBLI are investigated by schlieren and pulsating pressure test techniques. The operating conditions are as follows: the incoming Mach number is 2.5 and 3.5, the total temperature is 300 K, and the oscillation frequency of the Dy-MVG is . The results show that classical MVG moves the shock foot position downstream and increases the shock angle. Dy-MVG enables dynamic changes in the shock foot position and shock angle over a greater range than classical MVG. Compared with classical MVG, Dy-MVG further weakens the shock intensity in the SWBLI region, and the shock intensity decreases with the increase of excitation frequency. Dy-MVG further increases the pulsating pressure and the energy of low-frequency characteristics in the SWBLI region, resulting in better control of the SWBLI.
Practical Applications
The Dy-MVG proposed in this paper has better performance than the classical MVG in controlling SWBLI. Due to the adjustable characteristics of Dy-MVG, it can be applied to a wide speed range of aircraft. For example, it can be used for airfoil flow control to improve airfoil characteristics, and it can also be applied to the inlet to improve the inlet performance. The frequency and amplitude can be controlled to meet the requirements of airfoil and inlet under different flight conditions.
