Abstract

Numerical simulations were carried out in a supersonic nozzle to investigate the possibility of using dual-throat nozzle concept in fluidic thrust vector control. Validation of the methodology showed an excellent agreement between the computational fluid dynamics results and the experimental data available, which were based on the well-assessed SST $k-{\omega}$ turbulence mode. The deflection angle, system resultant thrust ratio, and thrust efficiency were investigated in a wide range of nozzle pressure ratios and injection pressure ratios. The performance variations of the dual-throat nozzle thrust vector control system were clearly illustrated with this two-dimensional computational domain. Some constructive conclusions were obtained that may be used as a reference for further studies in the fluidic thrust vector control field.

유체 추력벡터 제어에서 이중목 노즐 개념의 이용 가능성을 조사하기 위하여, 초음속 노즐에서 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 검증에서 SST $k-{\omega}$ 난류모델을 사용하여 실험결과를 잘 구현하였다. 광범위한 노즐 압력비와 분사 압력비에서 편향각도, 시스템의 전체 추력비 및 추력 효율을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 이중목 노즐의 추력벡터제어 시스템의 성능 변화는 2차원 계산영역에서 명확하게 설명되었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과들은 유체추력벡터제어 분야에 중요한 기초자료를 제공할 것이다.
