Chemical Kinetic/Gas Dynamic/Particle Interactions in Rocket Nozzle and Exhaust Plume Flows

Abstract

A review of the accomplishments achieved under this AFOSR contract is presented. Among the most notable are: (1) the development and demonstration of a fully-coupled rocket nozzle code (FULLNOZ) which, in calculating nozzle flow properties, couples the effects of nonequilibrium chemistry, gas/particle thermal and dynamic nonequilibrium, turbulent mixing across streamtubes and turbulent wall boundary layers and (2) the development of a phenomeno-logical model for the interpretation of IR radiation data from subscale liquid propellant rocket motor plumes; the model accounts for the effects of unburned fuel on rocket nozzle and after-burning plume properties.
