A Fine-Grid Model for the ASRM Aft Segment with Gimballed Nozzle

Results from computational fluid dynamic analyses for complex three-dimensional internal flows in the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) are presented. In particular, flow visualization and tabulated results from a fine-grid model consisting of 1.5 M grid points for the ASRM Aft Segment at the l9-second burn time with an 8-degree nozzle gimbal angle are shown. The results from this model will enable characterization of various aspects of the ASRM internal environment, and in particular will allow an assessment of the heat transfer and stresses exerted on the submerged nozzle, casing insulation, and nozzle case joint.

Complex three-dimensional internal flows in the ASRM and RSRM aft end segments

Results from computational fluid dynamic analyses for complex three dimensional flows in the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) and Redesigned Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM) are presented. In particular, a parametric study for the case of a gimballed nozzle in these motors at various burn times and gimbal angles is presented. The resultant pressure fields are used to determine the location of the center of pressure and hinge moments due to the internal flow of these geometries.
