  • Patent number: 11454566
    Abstract: A parameter similarity method for test simulation conditions of an aerodynamic heating environment is disclosed. With respect to the requirement that the adiabatic wall enthalpy and the cold-wall heat flux are equal in the simulation test of the aerodynamic heating environment, a method that can ensure the similarity of ground test parameters and flight parameters without the equal adiabatic wall enthalpy is proposed, and solves the problems of relying on the equal adiabatic wall enthalpy and making it difficult to accurately simulate the real aerodynamic heating environment in the current test simulation method, and provides guarantee for heat transfer and ablation test research of thermal protection/insulation material under the high temperature aerodynamic heating environment. The test conditions are not affected by the value of the adiabatic wall enthalpy. According to the method, most test devices can simulate the aerodynamic heating environment with high enthalpy.
