“…The authors point out a good applicability of the FLUENT program employed on the TVC vane subsystems immersed in the nozzle supersonic flow. The comparative measurements and the CFD simulations in the FLUENT program, employed on this type of TVC configuration, are reported in the papers [7]. Also, some previous papers refer to the experimental measurements of temperature fields in jet vanes using thermocouples [8] or infrared thermography [9], as well as to the development of the heat transfer calculation methods.…”

The paper discusses the temperature changes in mechanical jet tabs in a system of rocket motor thrust vector control, estimated by the simulation and experimental tests methodology. The heat transfer calculation is based on complex computational fluid dynamics simulations of both the nozzle and external tab flows, as the comprehensive integral flow zones with high flow parameters gradients. Due to a complexity of the model for flow calculations, the experimental estimation of the calculated results is carried out. The temperature is measured by jet tabs embedded thermocouples, and conducted through the rocket motor static tests. A good agreement of the calculated and measured results is achieved. The main aim of the developed method is to establish an approved calculation tool for designing new TVC systems in order to avoid disadvantages due to overheating.
