The impact of the simple orifice schemes of the buffer device in boom refuelling system in the transient pressure of the pipeline

The boom refuelling system has a large refueling flow, and the refueling joint when the refueling is interrupted in an emergency will cause pressure shock and pressure pulsation. In severe cases, it will cause vibration of the pipeline system, reduce system reliability, and seriously endanger flight safety. Adding a device similar to an accumulator at the end of the pipeline where pressure shock occurs can well absorb the shock pressure. This paper uses a certain type of aircraft as a background to simulate the construction of a rigid air refueling pipeline system with a buffer device. The emphasis is on the pressure shock suppression characteristics of the buffer device. The simulation analysis of the opening parameters of the expansion cavity entrance includes the number and size of the buffer device. The impact of pressure shock performance. The results show that: the more openings and the larger the pore size, the larger the first pressure peak and the smaller the second pressure peak; while increasing the total flow area can effectively reduce the pressure shock suppression effect of the buffer device.
