Coupled simulation of mixture plume for attitude-control satellite thruster

The numerical method for the steady Navier-Stokes equations is studied to solve the inner flow field of the nozzle.The N-S computing technique with the slip-boundary theory is developed for the near-continuum slip flow near the nozzle exit.The DSMC method for the flow of axial symmetry is studied to simulate the core plume,the DSMC scheme for the simulation of three-dimensional far-field plume flow is developed,and the DSMC method is studied for multi-species mixture plume.Then,the multiregion decomposing and coupling technique is developed to solve the inside and outside flow of the thruster including the near-field,far-field,backflow and gas-surface infected regions.As a result,the numerical simulation method has been presented to compute the gas-fired mixture plume from the attitude-control thruster of the satellite and the impinging contamination on the surface of the solar array panel and satellite.To study the contamination effects produced by the five-species mixture plume from two representative attitude-control thrusters installed in different locations of the satellite in orbit,the present method is adopted to simulate the nozzle inflow,tremendous plume flowfield of five-species mixture including the impinging contamination of the particles from the gas-fired plume.The flowfield properties of the gas-fired plume from the attitude-control thrusters are obtained,the related computed results are compared and analyzed with the experimental measurement and other theoretical calculation,which validates the reliability of the present numerical method.
