This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An improved ability to predict external propulsive performance was incorporated into the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code PAB3D. The improvements are the ability to account for skin friction and external pressure forces. Performance parameters for two axisymmetric supersonic cruise nozzle configurations were calculated to test the improved methodology. Internal and external flow-field regions were computed using a two-equation kappa-epsilon turbulent viscous-stress model. The computed thrust-minus-drag ratios were within 1 percent of the absolute level of experimental data and the trends of data were predicted accurately. The predicted trend of integrated nozzle pressure drag matched the trend of the integrated experimental pressure drag over a range of nozzle pressure ratios, but absolute drag levels were not accurately predicted.

Download or read book Experimental and Analytical Determination of Integrated Airframe Nozzle Performance written by Edsel R. Glasgow and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental and analytical investigation of the installed thrust and drag of various isolated nozzle and twin-nozzle/aftbody configurations indicated that empirical correlations provide the best means of predicting aft- end performance, especially for the early stages of the aircraft design. Both subsonic and transonic isolated nozzle drag data were correlated using IMS (integral mean slope) as the geometric parameter. A correlation of twin-nozzle/aftbody drag data at subsonic and transonic speeds was developed by combining Spreiter's transonic similarity parameters with the IMS of the equivalent body of revolution. A correlation of inviscid MOC pressure drag, achieved through use of IMS combined with similarity parameters obtained from linearized supersonic flow theory, provided an accurate and rapid means of estimating drag for arbitrary axisymmetric boattail contours at supersonic speeds. Twin-nozzle/aftbody drag data at supersonic speeds was correlated with the equivalent body drag obtained from the axisymmetric MOC correlation. Improved thrust and drag performance was obtained by modifying the aft-end design of five selected aircraft configurations. The rationale for these modifications was derived from design guidelines and criteria developed during the program. Improvements in mission radius for a fixed takeoff gross weight aircraft were obtained, in general, by utilizing convergent-divergent nozzles, a horizontal wedge interfairing with the trailing edge terminating at the exit plane of the nozzles, a single vertical stabilizer, and a narrow lateral nozzle spacing.

Download or read book The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics written by F. Moukalled and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 799 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook explores both the theoretical foundation of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and its applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Readers will discover a thorough explanation of the FVM numerics and algorithms used for the simulation of incompressible and compressible fluid flows, along with a detailed examination of the components needed for the development of a collocated unstructured pressure-based CFD solver. Two particular CFD codes are explored. The first is uFVM, a three-dimensional unstructured pressure-based finite volume academic CFD code, implemented within Matlab. The second is OpenFOAM®, an open source framework used in the development of a range of CFD programs for the simulation of industrial scale flow problems. With over 220 figures, numerous examples and more than one hundred exercise on FVM numerics, programming, and applications, this textbook is suitable for use in an introductory course on the FVM, in an advanced course on numerics, and as a reference for CFD programmers and researchers.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion written by Dan M. Goebel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout most of the twentieth century, electric propulsion was considered the technology of the future. Now, the future has arrived. This important new book explains the fundamentals of electric propulsion for spacecraft and describes in detail the physics and characteristics of the two major electric thrusters in use today, ion and Hall thrusters. The authors provide an introduction to plasma physics in order to allow readers to understand the models and derivations used in determining electric thruster performance. They then go on to present detailed explanations of: Thruster principles Ion thruster plasma generators and accelerator grids Hollow cathodes Hall thrusters Ion and Hall thruster plumes Flight ion and Hall thrusters Based largely on research and development performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and complemented with scores of tables, figures, homework problems, and references, Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion: Ion and Hall Thrusters is an indispensable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are preparing to enter the aerospace industry. It also serves as an equally valuable resource for professional engineers already at work in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intake Aerodynamics, Second Edition" presents computational advancements and discoveries in intake aerodynamics. A companion volume to "Practical Intake Aerodynamic Design," this important text considers the problem of airflow, both internal and external to air intake, as applied to civil and military aircraft. It covers the aerodynamics of subsonic and supersonic intakes in real flows, maintaining a progression through the transonic range. Also considered is the joint perspective of the airframe designer and the propulsion specialist in practical cases. Readers will gain insight into the fluid mechanics behind the deceleration of air from free stream to engine velocity, and an understanding of air compression and external drag in extensively revised chapters reflecting progress in the field. More than 300 drawings and diagrams help to illustrate the points defined throughout the book. Copublished with Blackwell Science Ltd.

Download or read book Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas Dynamics written by John David Anderson and published by AIAA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a self-contained text for those students and readers interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. It assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. If you have never studied hypersonic and/or high-temperature gas dynamics before, and if you have never worked extensively in the area, then this book is for you. On the other hand, if you have worked and/or are working in these areas, and you want a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas, then this book is also for you. In other words, this book is designed for two roles: 1) as an effective classroom text that can be used with ease by the instructor, and understood with ease by the student; and 2) as a viable, professional working tool for engineers, scientists, and managers who have any contact in their jobs with hypersonic and/or high-temperature flow.
