Lateral nozzle forces are known to cause severe structural damage to any new rocket engine in development. Currently there is no fully coupled computational tool to analyze this fluid/structure interaction process. The objective of this study was to develop a fully coupled aeroelastic modeling capability to describe the fluid/structure interaction process during the transient nozzle operations....

Compared to a variety of mechanical vectoring nozzles, fluidic nozzles possess more research value nowadays. The dual throat nozzle is gradually developing into an outstanding technology handle supersonic and hypersonic aircraft deflections. Three-dimensional, steady, compressible, viscous flows in rectangular are numerically investigated by resolving Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations s...

Despite the many advantages, ejector refrigeration systems have not been able to penetrate market because of two prevailing reasons: low coefficient performance and relevant influence operation on whole system. Indeed, depends local flow phenomena occurring within ejector. Thus, improving relies understanding fluid dynamic at "component-scale" integrating such information "system-scale". This p...

Abstract The large-scale deployment of ejector refrigeration systems (i.e., solar-based systems), although representing a promising alternative compared with mechanical compressor ones, is hindered due to limitations regarding control modes. Indeed, ejectors are fluid-dynamics controlled devices and, because their fixed geometry, they operate at highest efficiency in narrow range operating cond...

Cavitation and turbulence in a diesel injector nozzle has a great effect on the development and primary breakup of spray. However, the mechanism of the cavitation flow inside the nozzle and its influence on spray characteristics have not been clearly known yet because of the internal nozzle flow complexities. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical simulation is carried out to study the intern...

DLR Lampoldshausen carried out cold flow tests to study the flow field in a truncated ideal contour nozzle at low nozzle pressure ratios. A convex shaped Mach disk was found for nozzle pressure ratios less than 10 and a slight concave one for nozzle pressure ratios more than 20. Due to boundary layer transition the convex Mach disk is temporary tilted and redirects the flow towards the nozzle w...

Vortex breakdown of swirling, round jet flows is investigated in the compressible, subsonic regime by means of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). This is achieved by solving the compressible Navier–Stokes equations on a cylindrical grid using high-order spatial and temporal discretization schemes. The Reynolds number is Re = ρ c w ◦ c R ◦/μ◦c = 5000 and the flow is moderately compressible with ...

A Southwest Electrostatic Sprayers, Inc., nozzle was configured to a Hudson PortaPak backpack. A test was run to compare deposition of BVA no. 13 oil by the electrostatic nozzle to a standard nonelectrostatic nozzle as collected by Teflon slides. Results indicate that 100% greater deposition occurred with the electrostatic nozzle.

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of nozzle types and the time of herbicide incorporation in soil on weed control, using split plot design by randomized block design. the main plots were soil and herbicide mixing time and the subplots were nozzle types with three replications. this study was performed in karaj station of seed and plant improvement institute, located 25 km west o...
