Numerical Solution of the Flow of Power-Law Gel Propellants in Converging Injectors

Abstract: The governing equations of the steady, incompressible, isothermal, laminar flow of a power‐law, shear‐thinning gel propellant in a converging injector were formulated. The equations were transformed to a ψ–ω system, then discretized and solved. A numerical algorithm was developed for the solution of the flowfield. A parametric investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of the injector geometry and the flow rate on the velocity and viscosity fields, for various gel propellants. In comparison to a straig… Show more
