Аннотация

A coupled NS-DSMC method possessing adapted-interface and two-way coupling features is studied to simulate the plume impingement effects of space thrusters. The continuum-rarefied interface is determined by combining KnGL and Ptne continuum breakdown parameters. State-based coupling scheme is adopted to transfer information between continuum and particle solvers, and an overlapping grid technique is investigated to combine structured-grid NS code and Cartesian-grid DSMC code to form the coupled solver. Flow problem of a conical thruster plume impinging on a cone surface is simulated using the coupled solver, and the simulation result is compared with experimental data, which proves the validity of the proposed method. Plume flow while the ascent stage of lunar module lifting off in lunar environment is also computed by using the present coupled NS-DSMC method to demonstrate its capability. The whole flow field from combustion chamber to the vacuum environment is obtained, and the result reveals that special attention should be paid to the plume aerodynamic force at the early stage of launching process.
