Abstract

An apparatus and a method for accurate flow control in a centrifugal supergravity environment. The apparatus comprises a control center, an oil supply module, a sensor module, an execution module and a centrifugal machine; the control center and the oil supply module are deployed in a normal gravity environment, and the sensor module and the execution module are deployed in a supergravity environment. According to the present application, the liquid level information of a model box, the piston position information of a servo actuator and the water supply flow information of the model box are collected by a sensor, and the information data are processed; control of the servo actuator is achieved by controlling an oil distributor; the flow fluctuation of a reciprocating water pump is weakened by the active complementation of flows of dual pump sets.
