Coolant Dump Ejector Design for Sandwich Rocket Nozzle : A parametric study of coolant dump ejector geometry

Kristmundson, Darri January 2013 (has links)
A parametrical study is performed of coolant dump gas ejectors for a sandwich rocket nozzle design. Five geometrical variations are simulated in four ambient conditions (static, subsonic, supersonic, vacuum) using an in-house CFD solver. The test cases are compared with a baseline case and the resulting thrust and ISP are evaluated on a local and global level. A longer dump wall is found to give the best performance in all ambient cases, with a second possibility of reducing the circumference of the nozzle end stiffener. The possibility of post-ejection coolant gas combustion is encountered for high ambient pressure, high subsonic velocity flight.
