Three-dimensional modeling of heat balance on the example of an experimental aircraft HIFiRE-1




In this paper, we consider the solution of the spatial problem of the heat balance of a high-speed experimental aircraft, taking into account a heterogeneous combination of materials and their compositions. To solve this problem, a virtual geometry model of the HIFiRE-1 aircraft was used in the form of a blunt cone turning into a cylinder. The problem was solved using the Thermal Conductivity 3D (TC3D) computer code, which is based on the heat conduction equation related to second-order parabolic type equations.

Трехмерное моделирование теплового баланса на примере экспериментального летательного аппарата HIFiRE-1

В данной работе рассматривается решение пространственной задачи теплового баланса высокоскоростного экспериментального летательного аппарата с учетом разнородного сочетания материалов и их композиций. Для решения этой задачи использовалась виртуальная модель геометрии летательного аппарата HIFiRE-1 в виде затупленного конуса, переходящего в цилиндр. Задача решалась
с использованием компьютерного кода Thermal Conductivity 3D (TC3D), в основу которого положено уравнение теплопроводности, относящееся к уравнениям параболического типа второго порядка.
