Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized Implicit Flow Solver (GIES) computer program, developed under sponsorship of the Air Force Phillips Laboratory, Edwards Air Force Base, CA, has been modified and used for three-dimensional reacting two-phase flow problems. The intent of the original GIFS development effort was to provide the JANNAF community with a standard computational methodology to simulate multiple nozzle/plume flow-field phenomena and other three-dimensional effects. Recent development efforts have concentrated on improving the run time and robustness of the algorithm. The GIFS computer program was originally released as an untested research version. Since that time, several corrections and enhancements have been made to the model. The Van Leer Flux Splitting option has been successfully implemented into the existing GIFS model and provides a more robust solution scheme. A Parabolized Navier-Stokes (PNS) version of the GIFS algorithm is currently under development and is intended to substantially improve the run-time requirements for flow fields dominated by supersonic flow regimes. These improvements and enhancements will foster the application of the GIFS model in the CFD community. This paper reports the significant results of several twin-nozzle/plume applications of the GIFS code. Six simulations of Titan II plume flow fields have been completed to assess the effects of three-dimensionality, turbulent viscosity, afterburning, near-field shock structure, finite-rate kinetic chemistry, intranozzle geometric spacing, and initial nozzle exit plane profile effects on the subsequent plume exhaust flow field. The results of these calculations indicate that the viscous stress model, kinetic chemistry, and nozzle exit profile are significant parameters that should be considered in analyses and interpretation of the calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive text on rocket propulsion—now revised to reflect advancements in the field For sixty years, Sutton's Rocket Propulsion Elements has been regarded as the single most authoritative sourcebook on rocket propulsion technology. As with the previous edition, coauthored with Oscar Biblarz, the Eighth Edition of Rocket Propulsion Elements offers a thorough introduction to basic principles of rocket propulsion for guided missiles, space flight, or satellite flight. It describes the physical mechanisms and designs for various types of rockets' and provides an understanding of how rocket propulsion is applied to flying vehicles. Updated and strengthened throughout, the Eighth Edition explores: The fundamentals of rocket propulsion, its essential technologies, and its key design rationale The various types of rocket propulsion systems, physical phenomena, and essential relationships The latest advances in the field such as changes in materials, systems design, propellants, applications, and manufacturing technologies, with a separate new chapter devoted to turbopumps Liquid propellant rocket engines and solid propellant rocket motors, the two most prevalent of the rocket propulsion systems, with in-depth consideration of advances in hybrid rockets and electrical space propulsion Comprehensive and coherently organized, this seminal text guides readers evenhandedly through the complex factors that shape rocket propulsion, with both theory and practical design considerations. Professional engineers in the aerospace and defense industries as well as students in mechanical and aerospace engineering will find this updated classic indispensable for its scope of coverage and utility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An improved aerodynamic model is proposed for the exhaust plume issuing from a low-altitude rocket nozzle exit into quiescent ambient air in which chemical reactions and compressibility predominate. The model is based on the presently available knowledge and established aerodynamic principles for the various flow regimes involved. The major assumptions made are individually substantiated by related experimental evidence in existing literature. A theoretical analysis is carried over the whole flow region based on the Karman's integral approach to find solutions for the gross aerodynamic and thermodynamic behavior of the plume. Theory incorporating on empirically derived constants provides the required radial distribution function for the integration. Solutions are obtained for the velocity, density, temperature and chemical composition fields for extended regions of the plume. These results will provide the much needed framework for the understanding of the elements which contribute to the phenomenon of radar attenuation of rocket exhaust plumes. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work we present mathematical models for a rocket nozzle exhaust plume expanding into a vacuum; specifically, models for plume density introduced by Simons and Cai. The models are discussed and compared to simulation results produced with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. Simons' model, which is based in Prandtl-Meyer flow and boundary layer theory is discussed first. The model has several questionable assumptions and conclusions, which are analyzed. Cai's model, based on molecular gas dynamics, is described and offered as an alternative to Simons'. Numerical gas dynamic simulations utilizing the direct simulation Monte Carlo method were performed to validate Cai's model. These simulations are introduced and discussed. A description of the simulation's method and implementation is included. Literature review of articles related to simulating exhaust plumes is also discussed. Some results from those articles are compared to the aforementioned simulation results to further validate the model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized Implicit Flow Solver (GIFS) computer program has been modified and applied for analysis of three-dimensional, reacting, two-phase flow simulation problems. The intent of the original GIFS development effort was to provide the Joint Army, Navy, NASA, Air Force (JANNAF) community with a standard computational methodology to simulate multiple nozzle/plume flow-field phenomena and other three-dimensional effects. The Van Leer Flux Splitting option has been successfully implemented into the existing GIFS model and provides a more robust solution scheme, making application of the model more reasonable for engineering applications. This paper is a continuation of the previous work and reports the significant results of parametric flow-field simulations resulting from a dual-nozzle propulsion system operating at a high-altitude flight condition. In support of this effort, four calculations of Titan II SLV flow fields have been completed to assess the effects of three-dimensionality, missile body effects, chemistry, and gas generator flow on simulated plume exhaust flow-field properties. These calculations indicate that three-dimensionality is always an important factor and could substantially influence the interpretation of the results. If three dimensional effects are oversimplified in the model, analyses of the spatial results can be misinterpreted and misapplied. The missile body effect can also generate three-dimensional influences affecting the Mach reflection location, the plume/plume impingement shock location, inviscid shock structure, and shear layer growth. The gas generator flow influences the very near field simulation but is significantly dampened beyond approximately 1 meter downstream of the nozzle exit (nonreacting). If missile base heating, recirculation effects, or nozzle impingement heat-transfer analyses are required, the gas generator flow, including a kinetic chemistry model is the dominant influence.

Book excerpt: THIS HANDBOOK DESCRIBES THE THEORY AND APPLICATION OF QUANTITATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR PREDICTING ROCKET PLUME RADIATION. The work has primarily been in the area of the shortwave infrared (SWIR) because rocket exhaust gases are typically at temperatures on the order of 2000 to 2500 K, for which the Planck blackbody spectral distribution peaks in the SWIR. Another reason for this is that IR sensor technology is highly developed in the SWIR. In addition, the SWIR is dominated by vibration-rotation molecular emission bands of major species in the plumes.
