| 英文摘要 | Many scientific space missions need highly precise attitude and orbit control or ultrafine drag compensation, which relies on the variable-thrust propulsion technology operating at the micronewton level. Cold gas thruster (CGT) is a very promising solution, mainly because of its high reliability. One of the keys to the success of micronewton variable-thrust CGT is to understand the flow in its nozzle, whose configuration is much more complex than traditional CGT nozzles. This paper applies kinetic-based multiscale models to investigate the gas flow in the complex nozzle of a micronewton variable-thrust CGT. The simulations reveal that the flow simultaneously experiences all kinds of regimes from continuum to free molecular. The continuum breakdown is likely to occur near the throat region due to large gradients of flow variables and in the expander due to low gas density. Frictional choking is observed, and the nozzle length can be optimized to improve the thruster performance. Nozzle performance measures such as thrust, discharge coefficient, and thrust efficiency are found to change only with the throat Knudsen number Knt. The performance curves can be divided into two sections at Knt similar or equal to 0.1, and thereby an empirical piecewise formula for thrust prediction is proposed. |
