摘要：High speed aerospace applications require rapid control of thrust (i.e. thrust vectoring) in order to achieve better manoeuvrability. Among the existing technologies, shock vector control is one of the efficient ways to achieve thrust vectoring. In the present study, bypass mass injection (passive control) was used to generate shock vectoring in a planar supersonic Converging-Diverging (CD) nozzle. Two diffenrent bypass lines were used to inject mass in the diverging section varying their dimension in the span wise direction (10 mm ×10 mm2square channel and 2.68 mm×38 mm2rectangular channel) in such a way that, the mass flow ratio in both the case remain the same (4.9%) in order to compare the effect of bypass channel dimension in the resulting thrust vector angle and thrust performance. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with k-omega SST turbulence model have been implemented through numerical computations to capture the three-dimensional steady characterstics of the flow field. Results showed a significant change in the shock structure with the fromation of recirculation zone near the bypass injection port in both the case with a variation of shock structure and thrust performance for different geometry bypass lines. It was found that, thrust vector angle increases as injection length increases in the span wise direction.
