Abstract

The flow and combustion in a GCH4/GOX single-element rocket combustor is analysed by several groups using different numerical models and tools. The tools and simulation setups vary with respect to modeling fidelity and computational expense. A short overview of the tools and the individual simulation setups is given. The focus of the paper is the comparison of the results obtained by the different groups as well as with experimental data. This encompasses the study of specific features of the combustor flow among the different simulations, as well as the validation with typical rocket engine design and performance parameters, such as wall heat flux and combsution pressure, gained from hot firing tests.
