Narrow Results

Aiming at the severe aerodynamic heating problem in the leading edge of the hypersonic vehicle, in order to ensure the sharp shape of the leading edge of the wing, a dredging thermal protection structure is proposed, and the built-in high-temperature heat pipe structure is used to provide thermal protection for the leading edge of the wing. By means of numerical simulation and arc wind tunnel test, the dredging thermal protection structure of the leading edge of the wing is analyzed, and the thermal protection effect of the built-in high-temperature heat pipe is obtained. The numerical results show that under certain thermal conditions, the temperature at the leading edge of the wing decreases by 304 K, and the minimum temperature of the tail increases by 130 K. The heat flow is dredged from the high-temperature zone to the low-temperature zone, and the thermal load of the leading edge of the wing is weakened. The same result can be obtained by the arc wind tunnel test, which verifies the accuracy of the numerical method and the feasibility of the dredging thermal protection structure with high-temperature heat pipe embedded in the leading edge of the wing.
