3-D plume flow computations with an upwind solver
Abstract
In the present study multi-nozzle plume flows are computed with a three-dimensional, Navier-Stokes solver. Numerical simulations are performed with the flux-split, two-factor, time symptotic, viscous flow solver. The two factor splitting provides a stable three-dimensional solution procedure under ideal-gas assumptions. Viscous, ideal-gas solutions for a thin lip symmetrical nozzle are compared with experimental and numerical solutions. Computed solutions to axisymmetric and three-dimensional, multi-nozzle problems at various altitudes and flight conditions demonstrate flow field complexity and three-dimensional effects.
