Liquid Rocket Engine Performance Characterization Using Computational Modeling: Preliminary Analysis and Validation

Md. Amzad Hossain,
Austin Morse,
Iram Hernandez
et al.

Abstract: The need to refuel future missions to Mars and the Moon via in situ resource utilization (ISRU) requires the development of LOX/LCH4 engines, which are complex and expensive to develop and improve. This paper discusses how the use of digital engineering—specifically physics-based modeling (PBM)—can aid in developing, testing, and validating a LOX/LCH4 engine. The model, which focuses on propulsion performance and heat transfer through the engine walls, was created using Siemens’ STAR-CCM+ CFD tool. Key feature… Show more
