Numerical Simulation of Cryogenic Injection in Rocket Engine Combustion Chambers

The Blacklight Rocket Engine

Executive Summary This report summarizes the final project results for the period of May 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 for the NIAC CP 01-02 Phase I study, "The BlackLight Rocket Engine". The objective of the Phase I study was to assess the potential of low pressure, mixed gas hydrogen plasmas (i.e. the BlackLight Process) toward the development of high performance space propulsion systems.

Numerical Simulation of Cryogenic Injection in Rocket Engine Combustion Chambers

The numerical simulation of cryogenic combustion is crucial for a better understanding of the complex physics involved in reactive flows of rocket engines and to help to reduce the development cost of these engines. The focus of this study is set on the oxidizer injection and its dispersion through jet dense core destabilization and atomization or supercritical mixing. Specific models have been...
