Item Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Fluidic Thrust Vectoring by Shock Vector Control in a Two Dimensional Convergent - Divergent Nozzle(I.O.E, 2025-04) Acharya, Keshav Kumar; Darlami, KamalThis study presents a comprehensive numerical and experimental analysis of fluidic thrust vectoring using shock vector control (SVC) in a two-dimensional convergentdivergent (CD) nozzle. The research integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and Schlieren imaging experiments to evaluate the effects of secondary flow injection on thrust vectoring. The study begins with the development and testing of a single-mirror Schlieren imaging setup, which is utilized to visualize thermal plumes from candle and hand and later to visualize supersonic flow structures inside and at the exit of the nozzle. The CD nozzle is designed using the Method of Characteristics (MOC) and simulated in ANSYS Fluent to investigate the effect of nozzle pressure ratio (NPR), secondary pressure ratio (SPR), and secondary injection location on jet deflection. Experimental validation is conducted using a 3D-printed nozzle tested in the test rig constructed locally.Item Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Fluidic Thrust Vectoring by Shock Vector Control in a Two Dimensional Convergent - Divergent Nozzle(I.O.E, 2025-04) Acharya, Keshav Kumar; Darlami, Kamal
