摘要: 面向炮口制退器综合性能设计需求,基于增材制造技术优势,提出了一种叠加冲击式内壁与反作用式外孔特征的新型小口径轻金属炮口制退器方案。基于三维无黏Euler方程,建立了后效期火药气体排空过程的有限元仿真模型,通过膛口流场仿真与流固耦合分析,研究了膛口流场发展、膛口冲击波与超压分布特征、制退器效率与其强度性能。结果表明:相比于传统结构,采用同种轻质钛合金材料的新型制退器具有较高的制退效率,对于机载平台具有较优的膛口超压分布特征和低冲击波危害效应,并且结构强度满足使用要求。Abstract: Taking advantages of the additive manufacturing technology, our work proposes a new small-caliber light metal gun muzzle brake scheme with an impact-type inner wall and reaction-type outer hole feature. On the basis of the finite element simulation model of the after-effective period gunpowder gas evacuation, which was established by means of the three-dimensional non-viscous Euler equation, the muzzle flow field was simulated, the fluid-solid interaction was analyzed, and then the development of muzzle flow field, the characteristics of the muzzle blast wave and overpressure distribution, as well as the efficiency of the muzzle brake and its strength performance were investigated. The results showed that, compared with the traditional structure, the new muzzle brake with the same kind of lightweight titanium alloy material has a higher recoil efficiency, being characteristic of better muzzle overpressure distribution and lower shock wave hazard benefit for the airborne platform. Additionally, its structural strength can meet the operating requirements.
