Abstract

An explicit three-dimensional, finite-volume Navier-Stokes solver with finite-rate H₂/air combustion kinetics has been developed and calibrated to accurately and efficiently compute installed engine performance for complete single-stage-rocket (SSR) configurations. The Navier-Stokes formulation directly couples the global fluid dynamic, species continuity and transport equations for turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation resulting in increased solution robustness and accuracy. Comparisons of predicted and measured installed performance quantities are made for an SSR plug-nozzle configuration. Pretest installed performance predictions for embedded bell-nozzle vehicles are also included.
