A Survey of Fluidic Thrust Vectoring Nozzle by Numerical Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Numerical investigations are conducted to simulate the flow field of a 2D converging-diverging nozzle, for fluidic thrust vectoring. The numerical simulation of nozzle flow is carried out with Navier-Stokes equations model. Simulations are done with different primary and secondary jet conditions. The numerical results show that the smaller of the distance between secondary jet and exit, the larger is the thrust deflection angle. As the injection pressure ratio increases, the deflection angle increases followed on the premise of not far between secondary jet port and exit. The parameters play important roles on thrust vectoring capability.
