Abstract

Dual throat nozzle(DTN) is recently attracting much attention as a new concept of the thrust vectoring technique. This DTN is designed with two throats, an upstream minimum and a downstream minimum at the nozzle exit, with a cavity in between the upstream throat and exit. In the present study, a computational work has been carried out to analyze a fundamental performance of a dual throat nozzle(DTN) at various nozzle pressure ratios(NPR) and throat area ratios. Two-dimensional, axisymmetric, steady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR was varied in the range of NPR from 2.0 to 10.0, at different throat area ratios. The present computational results were validated with some experimental data available. Based upon the present results, the performance of DTN is discussed in terms of the discharge coefficient and thrust efficiency.

최근 이중목 노즐(Dual Throat Nozzle, DTN)을 사용하여 추진체의 추력을 제어하는 방 이 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이중목 노즐은 공동을 사이에 두고 두 개의 노즐 목을 가지도록 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 DTN의 기초 유동특성을 조사하기 위하여, 수치해석적인 방법을 적용하였으며, 노즐압력비와 노즐목 면적비를 변화시켰다. 수치해석에서는 축대칭, 압축성 Navier-Stokes방정식을 풀기 위하여, 유한체적법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 본 수치해석은 실험결과를 잘 예측하였으며, DTN의 성능을 추력계수와 유출계수의 항으로 상세하게 설명하였다.
