An Adaptation and Validation of a Primitive Variable Mathematical Model for Predicting the Flows in Turbojet Test Cells and Solid Fuel Ramjets.
Abstract
An adaptation of a primitive variable, finite-difference computer program was accomplished in order to predict the non-reacting flow fields in turbojet test cells and the reacting flow fields in solid fuel ramjets. The study compares the predictions of the primitive variable computer model with an earlier computer model and empirical data. It was found that the new model reasonably predicted the flow fields in both geometries. In addition, the primitive variable model allowed simulation of test cell flows up to full engine throttle conditions and solid fuel ramjet flows which included an aft mixing chamber. (Author)
