Abstract

A three-dimensional, viscous and steady numerical simulation about serpentine flow was conducted for a high-altitude nozzle of a liquid rocket engine on the ground. The results with different inlet pressure were obtained by utilizing FLUENT software. The transformation of shock pattern and the distribution of unsymmetrical separation and side load in the nozzle were primarily predicted by those results. The simulation provides a key basis for further study.
