The DTN is designed with two throats, an upstream minimum and a downstream minimum at the nozzle exit, with a cavity in between the upstream throat and exit. In the present study, a computational work has been carried out to analyze the performance of a dual throat nozzle at various mass flow rates of secondary flow and nozzle pressure ratios (NPR). Two-dimensional, steady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The present computational results were validated with available experimental data. Based on the present results, the control effectiveness of thrust-vectoring is discussed in terms of the thrust coefficient and the coefficient of discharge.展开更多

A 3BSD nozzle's deflection angle and direction are changed through rotations of three revolute pairs. There is a nonlinear relationship between the deflection angle/direction and the rotation angles. The rotation speed of a revolute pair is limited by the power of the actuator. The moment of inertia and the aerodynamic load for each revolute pair are different and time-varying. A high-precision control system of 3BSD nozzles is required for applications on vertical and/or short take-off and landing(V/STOL) aircrafts. Difficulties of coordination control of 3BSD nozzles are distinct travel ranges, speed constraints, time-varying dynamic models, and disturbances. The proposed control strategy is a combination of the characteristic model and the dynamic control allocation method. A dynamic control allocation module is used as the coordination supervisor, which is aware of the kinematic model, the constraints, and the dynamic models of the revolute pairs. Second-order characteristic models are used to represent the dynamic behavior of the revolute pairs. The gradient projection algorithm is modified for parameter estimation. A modified all-coefficient adaptive controller is developed to reject the disturbances. Experimental results of a scaled 3BSD nozzle indicate that the coordination control strategy is effective.展开更多
