Abstract
Pre-cooled engines, in which the incoming air is cooled by a pre-cooler before it enters the subsequent components for operation, are one of the important developments in combined power solutions. Therefore, how to optimize the gas temperature uniformity of the high temperature gas stream at the outlet of the pre-combustion chamber to achieve higher efficiency of the pre-cooled engine will be the main research content. In this paper, grid partitioning was performed on the pre combustion chamber model, and the k-omega model and EDC model were used to simulate the internal flow field of the pre combustion chamber. And verify the correctness of the simulation through engine hot testing. Explored the changing trends of the internal velocity and temperature fields of the engine under different secondary injection structures. The larger the secondary injection flow rate, the more obvious the obstruction to high-temperature gas, and the better the uniformity of gas temperature. However, in experiments, the secondary injection components often cannot withstand a large flow rate ratio. Ultimately, the gas temperature uniformity is best when the secondary injection flow rate ratio is 65%. Circumferential deflection will cause the gas to spin, and the spinning process will make the gas temperature at the same radius more uniform. However, due to the decrease in radial velocity, the obstruction effect on the overall high-temperature gas is weakened. When the gas is deflected towards the head by 30°, the velocity of the incoming gas and the velocity of the secondary injection gas are combined and perpendicular to the axis. At this time, the gas temperature uniformity is the best.
