💦 Impinging Rocket Injectors Slow Motion🚀 Impinging rocket injectors are a new propulsion technology that improves fuel usage and thrust by directing multiple propellant streams to collide, atomize and mix before combustion.🛰️💥 This method improves combustion process, leading to higher performance. It's suitable for precise control over combustion dynamics in space vehicles. The technique enhances fuel atomization, mixing efficiency, and combustion stability, resulting in more powerful and reliable rocket engines. 🚀🌌🔧 Injectors play a vital role in aerospace engineering, providing a crucial combination of efficiency and performance that is essential for the future of space exploration. 🔗Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dVT_kwTT 💳Content Credit: BreakingTaps (YT) #RocketScience #SpaceExploration #Engineering #AerospaceInnovation #PropulsionTechnology #SpaceTech #CombustionOptimization #FutureOfTravel

Last week LEAP 71 and The Exploration Company announced a collaboration to practically test and validate the first Computationally Engineered Bell Nozzle Rocket Engine! I am personally very excited about this project, because it has the potential to bring something truly innovative and novel to the space industry. Over the past years I have worked on a number of computational rocket engine geometries (most known is the #Aerospike ). This year, we launched a completely new model that enriches "geometry generators" with formulas and physics of the design process, that allowed the inputs to the algorithm to became more high-level. The culmination of this is what we call RP/CEM (Computational Engineering Model for Rocket Propulsion). TEC's propulsion team will further advance LEAP 71's baseline CEM with actual test feedback. If successful, we will have an algorithm that is capable of generating functioning, production-ready engines within minutes, that accumulates system knowledge over time and will challenge the traditional engineering paradigm! #ComputationalEngineering #SpaceTechnology #TestFire #RocketEngine #Leap #AdditiveManufacturing #ComputationalDesign #RocketScience #Aerospace

All articles in Aerospace (ISSN 2226-4310) Vol 10, Issue 8, are now freely available to access, read and download: https://brnw.ch/21wC06d COVER STORY: Methane is the future of space propulsion. The company or government who masters its use will win the on-going space race. However, there are significant challenges that must be faced and essential questions concerning ignition, mixing, and stable combustion must be addressed. With the developments in supercomputing, direct numerical simulations are becoming feasible, even in extremely complex environments, such as the combustion chambers of rocket engines. Authors from Technical University of Munich have developed a methodology to analyze turbulent flames in methane rocket engines using high fidelity numerical simulations and complex chemical mechanisms. This publication provides insights on the flame development and insights into the inner processes. Detailed features such as flamelet interactions or the coexisting combustion regimes will be explored. Read more: https://brnw.ch/21wC06d

The Bernoulli principle states that as the speed of a fluid (air or liquid) increases, its pressure decreases. This means that if you have a curved surface that forces air to move faster over the top than the bottom, you create a difference in pressure, which generates lift. This is known as the “Bernoulli effect.” #hyperfast #HYPERIANAereospace #airsupremacy https://lnkd.in/edtQRExu #NGAD #hypersonic #missiles #usnavy #machspeed #airforce #usarmy #spaceforce #HYPERMissile #HYPERBomber #HYPERLiner #hydrogen #aerospace #spaceflight #airsuperiority #NASA #BLACKSTAR

Dear LinkedIn Network, Have you ever found yourself amidst the roar of jet engines or the thunderous blast of a rocket launch? The symphony of sound at an airport or a rocket launch site is both awe inspiring and, from an engineering perspective, a challenging problem to address making it a pivotal focus in aeroacoustics research. Encountering the real-world problem, I had the privilege of collaborating with talented individuals— Ria Dey and Shivansh Rana—on a groundbreaking research paper titled, "Investigating the Interactions Between External Flows and Reacting Flows at the Chevron Nozzle Exit to Determine Acoustic Power Levels in Supersonic Aircraft.", under the guidance of DEKKALA VINAY and Prof. VR SANAL KUMAR, we had the honor of presenting our findings at the AIAA Region VII Student Conference, 27-28 November 2023 which took place at the University of New South Wales Canberra, Australia. In this exploration, we delved into the Comprehensive In-Silico Simulations using validated Navier Stokes Solver, Density based implicit, SST k-omega viscous model for different number of chevrons at the baseline CD nozzle. By unraveling the intricacies of external flows and reacting flows, we aimed to contribute valuable insights to the field. As we navigate the future of aviation and space exploration, understanding and mitigating noise pollution becomes paramount. Grateful for the opportunity to share our findings, we look forward to continuing our journey toward a quieter and more sustainable aerospace industry. I extend my gratitude to my fellow researchers, our mentors, AIAA and UNSW for providing a platform to share our insights. As we collectively explore the frontiers of aerospace innovation, I am encouraged by the collaborative ethos evident throughout the conference. Let's persist in our dedication to continuous learning, adaptation, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence. #AIAA #UNSWCanbera #Conference #Aerospace #NavierStokes #Aeroacoustics #ChevronNozzle #CFD
