Abstract

Abastrct The waverider is deemed the most promising configuration for hypersonic vehicle with its high lift-to-drag ratio at design conditions. However, considering the serious aero-heating protection, the sharp leading edge must be blunted. The existing traditional bluntness methods including the following two types: “reducing material method” and “adding material method”. Compared to the initial waverider, the volume will be smaller or larger using the traditional methods. With the fixed blunted radius, the volume and aerodynamic performance is determined. In this paper, a new bluntness method which is named “mixing material method” is developed. In this new method, a new parameter is introduced based on the traditional two bluntness methods. Under fixed blunted radius, the volume and aerodynamic performance can be changed within a wide range by adjusting the parameter. When the parameter is 0 and 1, the novel blunted method degenerated into the “reducing material method” and “adding material method” respectively. The influence of new parameter on the aerodynamic characteristics and volume are studied by numerical simulation. Results show that the volume, lift and lift-to-drag ratio increases with the increase of the parameter under the fixed blunt radius, but simultaneously, the drag will also increase. Therefore, considering the different requirements of the air-breathing hypersonic aircrafts for the balance of thrust and drag, lift and weight, a suitable bluntness parameter can be selected to achieve a balance. This research can provide reference for hypersonic waverider vehicle design.
