摘要

为明确网幕通道式贮箱在实际飞行中的工作特性及推进剂管理能力，基于流体体积法和连续表面张力模型，针对某网幕通道式贮箱建立了三维仿真模型，对不同充注率和不同扰动条件下贮箱重定位过程进行计算。研究了网幕通道式贮箱重定位过程中气液相分布规律及推进剂质心变化规律，并将网幕通道式与板式贮箱内的推进剂管理装置蓄流能力进行了对比分析。结果表明：面对多变的充注率与扰动条件，网幕通道式贮箱整体具有比板式贮箱更强的蓄流稳定性，特别是在5%低充注率条件下更不容易发生局部蓄流失效；低充注率下，重定位过程气液相分布主要受到网幕通道结构表面张力的强约束，随着充注率的增加，外加扰动对重定位过程气液相分布的影响逐渐增强，质心振荡幅度增大；针对液相位于底部的初始条件，网幕通道式贮箱对于反向加速度扰动的重定位响应最敏感，对于侧向加速度的扰动影响最难克服。研究可为网幕通道式贮箱在未来新型航天任务中的工程应用及设计优化提供参考。

Abstract

To clarify the working characteristics and propellant management capabilities of screen channel tanks during actual flight

a three-dimensional simulation model of a specific screen channel tank is established based on the volume of fluid model and the continuous surface tension model. The reorientation process of the tank is simulated under different filling rates and disturbance conditions. The distribution patterns of gas-liquid phases and the changes in the center of mass of the propellant during the reorientation process is examined

comparing the flow management capabilities of the screen channel tank with those of a vane-type tank. The results indicate that

in the face of varying filling rates and disturbance conditions

the screen channel tank exhibits greater liquid retention stability than the vane-type tank

particularly under a low filling rate of 5%

where localized flow failure is less likely to occur. Under low filling conditions

the gas-liquid phase distribution during the reorientation process is primarily constrained by the surface tension of the screen channel structure. As the filling rate increases

the impact of external disturbances on the gas-liquid phase distribution during the reorientation process gradually intensifies

leading to an increase in the amplitude of center of mass oscillations. For initial conditions where the liquid phase is at the bottom

the screen channel tank responds most sensitively to reverse acceleration disturbances

while overcoming the effects of lateral acceleration disturbances is more challenging. This research provides a reference for the engineering application and design optimization of screen channel tanks in future aerospace missions.
