Refinement of Plume Modeling in the Infrared Spectral Region

Abstract

The MIRADCOM Radiation Model was improved and used successfully to predict CO2 and H2O radiation emitted from a turbojet exhaust plume and a rocket exhaust plume. The model was validated using experimental data. Two existing gas dynamic models (LAPP and REPS) were employed to calculate the flow field properties required as input to the radiation computer codes. A new finite difference code was developed, but was only partially successfully in predicting imbedded shock waves.
