地面雷达天线罩风载下的数值模拟与风洞试验研究

NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND WIND TUNNEL TEST ON GROUND RADOME UNDER WIND LOAD

  • 摘要: 风荷载是地面雷达天线罩的主要荷载之一,风荷载会影响雷达罩的强度和稳定性,并会间接影响到雷达天线的使用精度,导致雷达天线的指向偏差和偏焦。所以雷达天线罩的风载研究是雷达天线罩设计的重要环节之一。该文用SolidWorks建立雷达天线罩的微缩模型,借助ANSYS ICEM CFD进行结构化网格划分,然后导入到FLUENT中进行风载的流场计算。在FLUENT流场计算中,选用了标准K-ξ模型、RNG K-ξ模型和Reliable K-ξ模型,对三种模型下的罩体迎风面、侧面以及背风面风压分布规律进行了对比,最终选用更加适合该文的RNG K-ξ模型。并对风速为V=20 m/s、V=28 m/s和V=36 m/s下的雷达天线罩的数值模拟和风洞试验的风压结果对比。结果表明:在罩体迎风面的风压曲线拟合的较好,而在罩体侧面及背风面的风压曲线出现了一定的偏离;风速越大,风压显著增大。通过对风载下地面雷达天线罩在数值模拟方法和风洞试验下风压分布的比较,可见数值模拟方法在雷达天线罩的设计中扮演重要角色,仿真得到的数据也可为实际工程领域的风洞试验提供数据支持。

     

    Abstract: Wind load is one of the main loads on ground radomes, which affects the strength and stability of the radome and also affects the accuracy of the radar antenna, resulting in partial focal point deviation and defocusing. Thus, the research on radomes under wind load is an important aspect in the design of radomes. In this paper, SolidWorks is used to establish the radome gemotory model. After meshing the model in ANSYS ICEM CFD, the radome is imported into FLUENT to calculate the flow field under wind load. Three turbulence models, including the standard model, RNG model and Reliable model, are adopted to calculate the coefficient of aerodynamic characteristics and pressure distribution in FLUENT. As a result, it can be found that the RNG model is more suitable for the simulation. Moreover, a wind tunnel test is performed to verify the simulation results under wind speed of 20 m/s, 28 m/s and 36 m/s, respectively. Then, the wind pressure on the radome surface in the simulation and experiments is compared. It is found that the pressure curves on the windward side of the radome in the simulation match the experiment very well, while the results obtained on the cover body side and leeward side show a deviation. Furthermore, wind pressure on the radome appears to increase with the increase of wind speed. According to the comparison results obtained in the numerical simulation and wind tunnel trials, it can be concluded that the application of the numerical simulation in radome design fields plays an important role, and the data obtained in the simulation is also meaningful to direct wind tunnel test in real engineering fields.
