    Description: The coaxial spray injection and combustion flowfields of a Space Shuttle Main Engine preburner injector element have been analyzed using a three-phase numerical code. The processes of atomization, evaporation, secondary droplet breakup, and multispecies chemistry, as well as turbulent diffusion, are included. The model produced realistic pictures of the complex internal flowfield, including liquid jet length, spray shape, flame-zone size and characteristics, and predicted temperatures that seem to be in agreement with test data envelopes. It predicted an external group combustion type of flame. Salient combustion and mixing features are discussed and sources of uncertainty are pointed out for future studies.

    Description: Assumptions commonly employed in the analytical description of a thin spray become unacceptable as the droplet density and droplet volume displacement become large. Changes in the semiempirical models describing drop-drop or drop-gas interactions as well as in the basic modeling approach itself may be necessary. A number of efforts undertaken to improve such models of the atomization-evaporation process to render them applicable in the dense-spray, supercritical regime are described. The improvements include those for variable drop density, supercritical properties, stripping evaporation and drop reincorporation into the liquid stream. The models are developed for use with the ARICC three-phase finite difference combustion code. Selected results from a sample calculation are presented, demonstrating the enhanced realism achievable with the upgraded models.

    Description: An analytical comparison of the predicted combustion flowfields for the Phase 1 and Phase 2+ fuel preburner configurations using an advanced CFD combustion code is currently underway at Rocketdyne. The Phase 2+ injector has a modified element design. The redesigned element provides for improved atomization through a shift in the injector element/face bleed flow split while maintaining an acceptable pressure drop. Cold-flow tests of the new design have been encouraging. As a complement to those tests, the Advanced Rocket Injector Combustor Code (ARICC) was selected to conduct a detailed combustion flowfield simulation. ARICC models two-dimensional (or axisymmetric), transient, turbulent, two-phase mixing and combustion flowfields. It is derived from a member of the Los Alamos ICEd-ALE family of codes. Unique features of ARICC include explicit representation of the coaxial LOX jet and hydrogen gas flows, distributed atomization processes, droplet breakup, and supercritical vaporation processes. Predictions of temperature and OH concentration profiles for the Phase 1 and Phase 2+ injector flowfields indicate a trend toward more uniform temperature distributions and shorter flame lengths with the Phase 2+ design.

    Description: The LOX/Hydrocarbon Combustion Instability Investigation Program was structured to determine if the use of light hydrocarbon combustion fuels with liquid oxygen (LOX) produces combustion performance and stability behavior similar to the LOX/hydrogen propellant combination. In particular methane was investigated to determine if that fuel can be rated for combustion instability using the same techniques as previously used for LOX/hydrogen. These techniques included fuel temperature ramping and stability bomb tests. The hot fire program probed the combustion behavior of methane from ambient to subambient temperatures. Very interesting results were obtained from this program that have potential importance to future LOX/methane development programs. A very thorough and carefully reasoned documentation of the experimental data obtained is contained. The hot fire test logic and the associated tests are discussed. Subscale performance and stability rating testing was accomplished using 40,000 lb. thrust class hardware. Stability rating tests used both bombs and fuel temperature ramping techniques. The test program was successful in generating data for the evaluation of the methane stability characteristics relative to hydrogen and to anchor stability models. Data correlations, performance analysis, stability analyses, and key stability margin enhancement parameters are discussed.
