Numerical Analysis of Nozzle Material Thermochemical Erosion in Hybrid Rocket Engines [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Propulsion and Power, 2012
Ablative materials are commonly used to protect the nozzle metallic housing and to provide the internal contour to expand the exhaust gases in both solid and hybrid rockets. Because of interaction with hot gas, these materials are chemically eroded during rocket firing, with a resulting nominal performance reduction.

Performance prediction and optimization for liquid rocket engine nozzle

Aerospace Science and Technology, 2007
Summary: An optimization approach, based on computational fluid dynamics methodology, is investigated for the performance prediction and optimization of liquid rocket engine nozzle. The CFD code employs implicit Lower-Upper decomposition (LU) scheme for solving the two-dimensional axisymmetric Navier-Stokes (NS) equations and species transport ...

Numerical Determination of Nozzle Admittances in Rocket Engines

2010
A numericalmethod in the time domain is introduced to assess the stability with respect to the nozzle’s geometry in liquid rocket engines. A boundary condition for the injector plane in a combustion chamber is presented, where the mass flow fluctuations are set to zero. Thus the acoustic flux over the injector plane is zero even when there is mean flow

Thrust augmentation nozzle (TAN) concept for rocket engine booster applications

Acta Astronautica, 2006
Abstract Aerojet used the patented thrust augmented nozzle (TAN) concept to validate a unique means of increasing sea-level thrust in a liquid rocket booster engine. We have used knowledge gained from hypersonic Scramjet research to inject propellants into the supersonic region of the rocket engine nozzle to significantly increase sea-level thrust ...

Radiative Heat Transfer in Film-Cooled Liquid Rocket Engine Nozzles

Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer, 2003
A radiation model has been implemented in a Navier-Stokes flow solver to investigate the importance of thermal radiation in film-cooled liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen rocket engine thrust chambers. Two running conditions were computed: high-altitude and sea-level conditions.

Investigation of Nozzle Performance for Rotating Detonation Rocket Engines

2019
Progress in conventional rocket engine technologies, based on constant pressure combustion, has plateaued in the past few decades. Rotating detonation engines (RDEs) are of particular interest to the rocket propulsion community as pressure gain combustion may provide improvements to specific impulse relevant to booster applications.
