Fuel after inflaming burns at high (till 15-20 МПа and more) pressure, thus is formed gaseous combustion products with temperature 3000-4500 K, which effuse to the ambient space through the nozzle. On length of the nozzle the temperature and pressure of them decrease, and the velocity increases, passing through a sound velocity in minimum (critical) cross-section of the nozzle and reaching 2700...

The compressible jet plume emerging from a planar convergent–divergent nozzle containing a separation shock is investigated experimentally and numerically. The investigation encompasses exit-to-throat area ratios (Ae=At) from 1.0 to 1.8 and nozzle pressure ratios from 1.2 to 1.8. Experiments were conducted in a variable-geometry nozzle facility, and computations solved the Reynolds-averaged Nav...

In diesel engines, fuel injection has a commanding effect on combustion. Thus studying spray characteristics is beneficial for controlling and improving However, information characteristics, especially those governed by injector needle lift, lacking. This study investigates the near-nozzle kinematics particular nozzle geometries over range of pressures. The nozzles used in this research include...

A full envelope database of a thrust-vectoring axisymmetric nozzle performance for the Pratt & Whitney Pitch/Yaw Balance Beam Nozzle (P/YBBN) is being developed using the F-15 Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles (ACTIVE) aircraft. At this time, flight research has been completed for steady-state pitch vector angles up to 20° at an altitude of 30,000 ft from low power settings to...

Cold spray has been proven to be an economic, green and eco-friendly spraying technique. Its remarkable deposition rate, flexibility, low process temperature make it particularly popular for fast thermal impact part repairs. Despite cold advantages, in discontinuous geometries such as steps, corners, holes, remains a challenge the understanding of gas jet interaction with these geometrical feat...

Lateral nozzle forces are known to cause severe structural damage to any new rocket engine in development during test. While three-dimensional, transient, turbulent, chemically reacting computational fluid dynamics methodology has been demonstrated to capture major side load physics with rigid nozzles, hot-fire tests often show nozzle structure deformation during major side load events, leading...
