Numerical simulation of C-H-O-N system liquid rocket engine nozzle flow

The viscous flow in the CHON system liquid rocket engine nozzle was simulated using loosely coupled pointedimplicit MacCormack scheme. The reacting model and nonreacting model were used in the simulation, and a 12species, 14steps finiterate chemical reaction model was adopted in the CHON reacting model. The distributions of flow parameters in the nozzle were presented. Analysis of the results shows that the numerical simulation results are in accordance with the theoretical distributions of flow parameters in the nozzle. The numerical results provide reference for design and experiment of the rocket engine.
