Original Romanian Research for a Rocket Engine with Multiple Combustion Chambers during 1940 - 1944 [PDF]
The paper presents certain points of view regarding the history of Romanian rocket engines, during 1940-1944. Working independently of other scientists, during 1942 – 1944 the Romanian Nicolae Văideanu has invented and designed, independently of other ...

Experimental investigation of free jets through supersonic nozzles [PDF]
In this paper, we report experimental investigation to improve the shape of a supersonic nozzle for rarefied flows to generate high axial density at extended distances from the nozzle. The reported work is significant for molecular jet/beam applications that require high center-line density and narrow jet profile.

Application of open-source software for industrial problems of vehicle lift-off gas dynamics
High-power shock, heat, mechanical and especially acoustic loads present a serious problem as their impact on the rocket and the launch pad can be too strong. Turbulent supersonic jets ejected from the vehicle nozzles are the main source of these loads.

Stochastic rocket dynamics under random nozzle side loads: Ornstein-Uhlenbeck boundary layer separation and its coarse grained connection to side loading and rocket response [PDF]
A long-standing, though ill-understood problem in rocket dynamics, rocket response to random, altitude-dependent nozzle side-loads, is investigated. Side loads arise during low altitude flight due to random, asymmetric, shock-induced separation of in-nozzle boundary layers.

Study on Separation Characteristics of Nozzles with Large Expansion Ratio of Solid Rocket Motors
In order to study the flow characteristics of a nozzle with large expansion ratio and its influence on the force on the nozzle, ground cold flow test research and a fluid–structure coupling simulation analysis were carried out (maximum expansion ratio ε =

Density Field Reconstruction of an Overexpanded Supersonic Jet using Tomographic Background-Oriented Schlieren [PDF]
A Tomographic Background-Oriented Schlieren (TBOS) technique is developed to aid in the visualization of compressible flows. An experimental setup was devised around a sub-scale rocket nozzle, in which four cameras were set up in a circular configuration with 30{\deg} angular spacing in azimuth.
