METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RESTRAINING PRESSURE INCREASE AT WALL SURFACE BY SHOCK WAVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain pressure from increasing after reflection of shock wave by forming a secondary flow layer through application of injection or the like of secondary flow along a wall surface onto a part where the shock wave generated in a supersonic flow field reaches the wall surface. ;SOLUTION: A rocket engine 1 is provided with a secondary flow injection port 3 formed circularly which injects a secondary flow along the upstream to the downstream wall surface so that a secondary flow layer is formed, at a part where shock wave 6 of nozzle skirt 2 is reflected. A downstrem stage is formed at a circumferential wall and the port 3 is made open at the stepped wall. In the Fig. numerals 5, 7 denote a combustion unit and swelling wave, respectively. The engine 1 is so constituted in this way. Pressure increase after the reaction is restrained and the shock wave 6 after the reaction can be weakened by making a secondary flow layer reflect the shock wave 6, the secondary flow layer being formed by injecting the secondary flow, especially subsonic gas, along the wall surface, to a part where the shock wave 6 is incident to the wall surface.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
