Simulation analysis and design for the pressure impulse test

The pressure impulse test system is a complex nonlinear system; its control methods are very different from the traditional linear systems. The difficulty of its analysis focused on the physical realization of the entire system and mathematical model on complex pipeline system. We analyze the composition and principles of the entire test system, detailed study the basic equation of unsteady flow and do the static design which provides parameters for the dynamic simulation. Method of characteristics is used to establish the mathematical model. Then we analyze the transient process of the test system with the model, main analyze the affecting factors of water hammer wave-shaped through simulation. Finally, verify the correctness of simulation analysis model and ensure the impulse test can be successfully completed through the test of our main specimen-retractable actuator of landing gear with different combinations of key parameters.
