Abstract
In order to explore the flow field characteristics of nozzle plume for a small solid rocket motor (SRM), the two-dimensional axisymmetric N-S governing equations with component transports and chemical reaction terms are established. Then, the finite volume method of AUSM (Advection Upstream Splitting Method) spatial discretization scheme is applied for numerical discretization, and its solution is solved by time iteration to make the plume flow field steady. This technique is applied to research the flow field characteristics and characteristic parameter distributions of nozzle plume under different inflow conditions. The results are shown that: when considering the reburning reactions of nozzle plume, the temperature of the gas jet core area is much higher than the flow field temperature that the reburning phenomenon is not considered. In addition, the reburning phenomenon mainly occurs in the air-gas mixing and gas development areas, but in the initial core area of gas jet, this phenomenon is not obvious. What’s more, with the increase of altitude, the influence area of the gas jet gradually becomes larger. However, as the incoming flow Mach number increases, the intensity of the change of gas temperature along the nozzle axis weakens, and also the number of wave nodes and the influence region of gas jet gradually decrease.
