氧碘激光器腔内边界层分离规律与控制方法

The boundary layer separation of intracavity flow seriously deteriorates the beam quality and operation stability of chemical oxygen-iodine lasers (COIL). In this proposal, fundamental rules governing the boundary layer separation of the flowing lasing media, as well as the aero-optical effects induced by the boundary layer separation control method based on near-wall blowing is explored. Based on the acquired knowledge, the feedback boundary layer control method for COIL is developed for the first time to achieve effective separation control with low blowing flow rate and good output beam quality. This could greatly enhance the applicability of COIL in directed energy weapons..Firstly, numerical model that is capable of catching the boundary layer separation phenomenon of the supersonic flowing lasing media is developed by associating the large-eddy simulation and the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method. The molecular tagging velocimetry is applied to experimentally verify the proposed model. And the quantitative relationship between the boundary layer separation position and the operation condition of the laser is explored..Then, by further associates the established model with the wave optics methods, the aero-optical effects induced by the boundary layer separation control method is revealed. The optimized blowing flow distribution for achieving boundary layer control with low total blowing flow rate and good output beam quality is obtained for various circumstances with different boundary layer separation positions..Finally, the feedback boundary layer control method for COIL is developed based on the established relationship between the separation position and the operation condition, and the optimized blowing flow distribution related to various boundary layer separation positions. Experiments will be carried out on the kilowatts COIL experimental platform in Key Laboratory of Chemical Lasers, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
