Liquid Rocket Motor – CENTAUR Software

Liquid Rocket Motor

This geometry represents a liquid-fuel rocket motor including the injector section, combustion chamber, and converging–diverging nozzle. A hybrid mesh was created using CENTAUR, capturing the smooth curvature of the nozzle and the narrow throat region with prism layers for accurate boundary-layer resolution. Rotational periodicity and volume mesh cloning were also implemented on the nozzle.
