Computer Simulation Research on Flow Field of SRM High Altitude Simulation Test

Abstract

The simulation test of passive ejection type high-altitude solid rocket motor (SRM) was simulated by computer. For SRM passive ejector type high-altitude test, the tempering in the process of engine ignition and flameout poses a serious threat to the nozzle of the engine test device and circuit arrangement in the upper compartment. Using the N-S equation and Spalart-Allmaras model: numerical simulation on the flow structure of engine pressurize, decompression and stratochamber air phase in the testing process, and flow field of the diffuser and the cabin altitude simulation, analyzing the flow field structure of high-altitude experiment stages. The results showed the rough coincidence between the simulation curve and the measured data, with slight difference at the initial stage of air supply, the measured data and the simulation data reach the overall high degree of coincidence. During the process of building a compression and decompression, the adiabatic measures should be taken to prevent high temperature gas from damaging the engine, especially the nozzle and the head ring, in addition, the reasonable design of the nozzle contour surface can control gas separation tempering, reducing the influence caused by tempering. Stability of the flow field in the high altitude chamber of the pressure will not affect the engine.
