The aerospike nozzle represents an interesting technology for Single-Stage-To-Orbit vehicles because of its self-adapting capability. It is possible to get thrust vectoring capabilities in different ways. A straightforward solution consists in applying differential throttling to multiple combustion chambers which feed the nozzle. An alternative technology, which can be used in the presence of a common combustion chamber, is represented by fluidic thrust vectoring which requires the injection of a secondary flow from a slot on the wall. In this work, the flow field in a linear aerospike nozzle is numerically investigated by means of RANS simulations and both differential throttling and shock vectoring are studied. A parametric study is performed to evaluate the potential of the two technologies.

Abstract: | The aerospike nozzle represents an interesting technology for Single-Stage-To-Orbit vehicles beca...use of its self-adapting capability. It is possible to get thrust vectoring capabilities in different ways. A straightforward solution consists in applying differential throttling to multiple combustion chambers which feed the nozzle. An alternative technology, which can be used in the presence of a common combustion chamber, is represented by fluidic thrust vectoring which requires the injection of a secondary flow from a slot on the wall. In this work, the flow field in a linear aerospike nozzle is numerically investigated by means of RANS simulations and both differential throttling and shock vectoring are studied. A parametric study is performed to evaluate the potential of the two technologies. | |
