Abstract

Complex processes related to nonequilibrium thermochemistry and radiation are a fundamental aspect of atmospheric entry flowfields. Shock tubes provide a means of generating test gas conditions analogous to those found on the stagnation line of flight shock layers, which allows extraction of thermochemical rates and radiative intensities. Currently, the NASA Electric Arc Shock Tube (EAST) is the best source of such data. Although simple in principle, nuances of these experimental facilities can affect the observed results. Notably, electron densities and radiance levels in excess of equilibrium predictions have been observed at EAST for many years. The deceleration of the shock as it passes along the tube has been posited as a source of these discrepancies. In this work, a recently developed numerical methodology (LASTA) is applied to these results from the literature. Using the experimental shock speed profile as an input, trends in postshock electron density are computed. Radiance throughout the shock layer is also predicted by coupling the simulation to the NASA NEQAIR code. It is shown that the predictions of LASTA provide a good match to the magnitudes and trends of the experimental differences, confirming shock speed deceleration as their cause.
NASA电弧激波管的减震效果分析
与非平衡热化学和辐射有关的复杂过程是大气入口流场的一个基本方面。激波管提供了一种产生测试气体条件的方法,类似于在飞行激波层的停滞线上发现的条件,它允许提取热化学速率和辐射强度。目前,美国宇航局的电弧激波管(EAST)是这类数据的最佳来源。虽然原理简单,但这些实验设备的细微差别会影响观察结果。值得注意的是,多年来在EAST观测到的电子密度和辐射水平超过了平衡预测。当激波沿着管道传递时的减速被假定为这些差异的来源。在这项工作中,最近发展的数值方法(LASTA)应用于这些结果从文献。利用实验激波速度曲线作为输入,计算了激波后电子密度的变化趋势。通过将模拟与NASA NEQAIR代码耦合,还预测了整个激波层的辐射。结果表明,LASTA的预测结果与实验差异的幅度和趋势吻合较好,证实了冲击速度减速是导致差异的原因。

期刊介绍: This Journal is devoted to the advancement of the science and technology of thermophysics and heat transfer through the dissemination of original research papers disclosing new technical knowledge and exploratory developments and applications based on new knowledge. The Journal publishes qualified papers that deal with the properties and mechanisms involved in thermal energy transfer and storage in gases, liquids, and solids or combinations thereof. These studies include aerothermodynamics; conductive, convective, radiative, and multiphase modes of heat transfer; micro- and nano-scale heat transfer; nonintrusive diagnostics; numerical and experimental techniques; plasma excitation and flow interactions; thermal systems; and thermophysical properties. Papers that review recent research developments in any of the prior topics are also solicited.
