Abstract
Throat-mixing systems are proposed and assessed for the supersonic flow chemical oxygen-iodine laser (S-COIL). Three-dimensional, numerical simulation solving the governing equations of compressible gas flows together with chemical kinetics has been made for investigating the characteristics of the mixing condition and chemical reactions. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations and a chemical kinetic model encompassing 21 chemical reactions and 10 chemical species are solved by means of a full-implicit finite difference method. Two types of nozzles, a blade- and cylinder-type nozzles are adopted. The results show satisfactorily high values of the small signal gain coefficient G. The proposed throat-mixing system shows higher efficiency than the parallel mixing system. The blade-type nozzle is found to give 44% higher peak value of G than that of the parallel mixing system. It is also noted that the cylinder-type nozzle has superior ability than the parallel mixing system, in spite of its exceedingly simple structure.
