Abstract

To investigate the wall cooling of the thrust chamber in an engine, two film-cooling structures, namely, a circular hole structure and a slot structure, were designed. Numerical simulations were performed to study the coupled flow and regenerative cooling heat transfer in thrust chambers with different structures. The influences of parameters such as the film mass flow rate and film hole size on wall cooling were analyzed. Experiments were conducted in a thrust chamber to validate the accuracy of the numerical calculation method. The results indicate that the slot-structured film adheres better to the wall than the circular-hole-structured film, and the film closely adhering to the wall provides better insulation against hot gas, resulting in a reduction of approximately 6% in wall temperature. When the film hole size changes, the change in circumferential wall temperature in the upstream region of the slot-structured film is more pronounced. This paper aims to provide a reference for the design of the cooling structure at the head of the thrust chamber in engineering and suggests directions for optimization and improvement.
