Description
Summary:Modern aircraft need increased maneuverability to maintain a competitive position. One way to improve this characteristic is to use methods to adjust the thrust vectors of a jet engine nozzle. One method of controlling nozzle thrust is the use of nozzle interceptors devices of various shapes that extend into the nozzle channel and cause an uneven distribution of pressure along the walls of the channel. The extension of the rod interceptor near the critical section of the nozzle creates a greater lateral force than the extension of the rod near the exit section. The dependence of the lateral force on the extension height is nonlinear. The article presents a description of a nozzle interceptor of a cylindrical shape extended from the channel wall. Numerical simulation of gas flow in the nozzle with a cylindrical interceptor was carried out. The patterns of gas flow in the channel and in the environment outside the nozzle are presented. The plots of the lateral and axial components of the thrust force against the interceptor rod length are also presented for both cases of the rod location. Rod interceptors can be used in combination with other correcting devices.
