Plume Flow Field Analysis of Solid Rocket Motor

Abstract

Abstract. The distribution characteristics of plume field structure of solid rocket motor could great influence on overall design of rocket, design of launch vehicle, materials selection and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to study structure characteristic of plume field of solid rocket engine. In this paper, the numerical simulation of the nozzle and plume flow field rocket motor from air performed using FLUENT software the influence of flying altitude and Ma number on plume flow was analyzed.
