采用FLUENT软件模拟了受一恒定温度载荷的复合材料点阵夹芯结构在辅助流体强制对流作用下的热行为和热传输特性。对流体的压力场、速度场、温度场等场分布规律及特征进行了分析,详细地阐述了点阵夹芯结构本身的构型对胞元内近壁流动和热传输类型的影响。采用雷诺数Re、努塞尔数Nu、压降损失系数KCell三个以胞元特征长度为度量的无量纲参数对结构的换热性能进行了表征与评价;并引入温度最小渗透率、最大渗透率和水平渗透率的概念,更加直观地表征结构的换热性能。结果表明,强制对流下结构的换热性能明显提高,有利于其轻质多功能化的实现。

Thermal behavior and heat transfer characteristics of a composite sandwich structures with lattice cores under loading with a constant temperature field were simulated by computational fluid dynamics FLUENT software during forced convection with auxiliary fluid.The distribution and characteristics of flow field,such as the fields of pressure,velocity and temperature,were analyzed.The influence of structural morphology on the inner end-wall and heat transfer patterns in a unit cell was described in details.Three dimensionless parameters Reynolds number,Nusselt number and pressure drop coefficient,scaling by the characteristic length of unit cell were used to characterize and assess the heat transfer performance of structure.Furthermore,by introducing concepts of the minimum permeability,maximum permeability and horizontal permeability of temperature,the heat transfer performance of structure was visually characterized.The analytic results indicate that heat transfer performance of this lattice-cores sandwich structure can be evidently improved in the case of forced convection,and therefore reveal the structure is more suitable for the mulitifunctionalities of lightweight structure achievement in the future.
