Abstract

In this paper a mixed Euler-Lagrange approach is used for a 3D simulation of a LOX/H2 model rocket combustor with a single shear coaxial injector. The specific test case presented is the MASCOTTE combustor at 10 bar pressure in the so called A-10 configuration. The simulation of the gas phase is conducted with the scientific code TASCOM3D which works in an Eulerian mode while the liquid fuel droplets are treated by the scientific code SPRAYSIM in a Lagrangian framework. The two codes and the coupling mechanisms are explained and results of a preliminary simulation will be presented. At the end an outlook is given focusing on how to obtain an even more accurate representation of the experiment in subsequent simulations. Finally some comments on the computational costs of the calculations and the performance of the two codes on the NEC SX-9 are given.
