Abstract

A two-dimensional thermal response and ablation analysis code for predicting charring material ablation and shape change on solid rocket nozzle is presented. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques have been used to characterize the thermal decomposition constants for Arrhenius parameters. Two heterogeneous reactions involving carbon and the oxidizing species of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ are considered and determined by Zvyagin's ablation model and kinetic constants. The moving boundary problem and mesh moving are solved by remeshing-rezoning method in MSC-Marc-ATAS program. The difference between the calculated and experimental value of char and ablation thickness is up to 20%. For the performance prediction of thermal protection systems, this method will be integrated with a three-dimensional finite-element thermal and structure analysis code through the real time sensing of in-depth temperature and heat flux.

고체 추진기관 노즐의 2차원 열반응 및 삭마 해석 코드를 활용하여 노즐 부품의 숯 및 삭마현상을 연구하였다. Arrhenius 식을 이용한 내부 열분해 모델 상수는 TGA(열중량분석기) 실험으로 얻었다. 탄소와 $H_2O$, $CO_2$의 산화반응에 의한 화학적 삭마는 Zvyagin이 제안한 삭마모델 과 반응속도 상수를 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 삭마에 의한 경계조건 및 격자 이동은 상용해석 프로그램인 MSC-Marc-ATAS에서 적용되는 Rezoning-remeshing 기법을 사용하였다. 해석된 숯 및 삭마 두께는 연소시험 결과 값과 최대 20% 오차를 보였다. 향후 열방호 시스템의 성능을 모사하기 위하여 내부 온도 및 열유속을 실시간 측정하면 3차원 FEM 통합 열구조 해석에 적용될 것으로 기대된다.
