Investigation of Antipulsation Partitions Influence on the Working Process Development in Oxygen-Kerosene LRE Combustion Chamber with Jet-Centrifugal Injectors by Numerical Simulation

The study focuses on computational investigation of antipulsation partitions influence on the steady-state working process structure in oxygen-kerosene LRE combustion chamber with jet-centrifugal injectors. We examined two variants of chambers with identical injector arrangement. The first variant of chamber has no partitions, and thin partitions are mounted on the injector head of the second variant. Findings of the research show that installation of partitions in chambers with jet-centrifugal injectors may lead to increased temperature zone appearance in the corner between the side chamber wall and radial partition.
