Abstract

High enthalpy test facilities, such as a shock tunnel, are to be operated at the specific pressure ratio according to the desired test condition. A metallic diaphragm is machined or a forced rupture device is used to open it at a specific pressure ratio. The diaphragm opening procedure takes several hundred microseconds including rupture and deformation. This process is expected to affect the test conditions. In this study, numerical simulation was performed for different materials, thicknesses, and opening ratios. And the characteristics of shock wave generation and the stagnation condition in the tube are investigated. Results show that the final opening ratio and rupturing procedure directly affect the speed of a shock wave, stagnation pressure, and test time.

극초음속 유동 시험에 활용되고 있는 충격파 터널 등은 원하는 시험 조건을 얻기 위해 격막의 파열 압력비를 맞추어 운용한다. 주로 금속 재질로 이루어진 격막은 정확한 압력비를 맞추기 위해 특정 형태로 가공하거나 강제 파열 장치를 사용하여 개방한다. 격막의 개방 과정은 수백 microsecond 동안 파열과 변형을 통해 이루어지는데, 동일한 압력비에서도 개방 정도와 개방 소요 시간에 따라 시험 조건이 달라질 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 격막의 두께 및 재질 차이를 반영할 수 있는 파열모델을 적용하여 수치 해석을 수행하고 충격파의 형성과 정체 조건의 특성에 대해 살펴보았다. 격막 파열로 인해 생성된 충격파의 속도는 격막 개방 속도에 비례하였으며, 격막의 최종 개폐율 및 소요 시간에 따라 저압관 끝단에 형성되는 정체 압력과 시험 시간에 차이가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
