Abstract
The control system design and experimental investigation of the gas regulating system for a ducted rocket are studied in this article. First, the dynamic model of the gas regulating system for the ducted rocket was established, and comparison of the two regulating modes regarding non-linearity and uncertainty was done. In contrast with the area-regulated mode, the non-linearity of the pressure-balanced mode is smaller and the robustness is stronger. Then, the study of the the gas control system is performed based on the model established in this article. The introduction of high-gain feedback suppresses the effects of non-linearity and uncertainty in the pneumatic servo system. Also, a proportional-integral controller for the gas regulating system based on linear matrix inequality is designed. Lastly, an experimental investigation of the gas flow control system is done to verify the validity of the gas control system. The experimental result shows that the gas flow control system has good performance. The turndown ratio of mass flow through the control valve was up to 3.7:1.
