In contrast to the standard bifurcation and continuation methods, the extended methods are capable of calculating the continuation curves of the equilibrium points for the particular type of trimming flight. Therefore, these methods can not only give the performance measures of aircraft, but also determine the stability of trimming points. In this paper, the methods are used to verify the effectiveness of the thrust vectoring control law, to define the flight envelope boundary, to analyze the stability and controllability of trimming flight, and to predict the departures of the instable flight. The result shows that the extended methods provide more flight dynamic information and are useful in preliminary design of the thrust vectoring aircraft.展开更多

The baffled shock vector nozzle is a type of fluid thrust vectoring nozzle that uses a secondary injection to deflect the primary flow and generate a vector angle. The fluid thrust vectoring technology is regarded as a key technology for the development of very low detectable vehicles because of its advantages, such as fast response, lightweight, and good stealth performance. The main objectives of this study are to investigate the effects of various parameters such as slot interval distance, slot width, injection angle, nozzle pressure ratio, secondary flow pressure ratio, and outflow Mach number on the deflection angle, thrust coefficient, thrust efficiency, and secondary flow ratio of the nozzle. The numerical simulations are carried out using the k-epsilon turbulence model, which is validated by comparing it with experimental data. The results indicate that optimizing the slot interval distance and width, increasing the injection angle, adjusting the nozzle pressure ratio and secondary flow pressure ratio, and controlling the outflow Mach number can enhance the nozzle performance. The results also reveal the complex flow phenomena inside the nozzle, such as shock wave interactions, flow separation and reattachment, and boundary layer effects. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the flow characteristics and performance of a baffled shock two-dimensional vector nozzle and offers some guidance for its design and optimization.展开更多
