| 内容記述 | There are many individual computational tools and methods used to analyze and design components of a rocket engine thrust chamber assembly (TCA) 11,21. To analyze and design a thrust chamber assembly these tools are usually used in sequence while communication of information between these tools is usually done manually. Each component of a TCA is usually designed and optimized individually with limited considerations on system optimized design. This approach is often iterative and can be prone to error. Also at present, expert knowledge of each tool is required. The objective of this software development effort is to select, integrate and automate the best tools into an easy-to-use computational package, the Thrust Chamber Analysis Toolkit (TCAT). This tool will provide a seamless process to analyze and design all or individual components of a thrust chamber assembly. This paper describes the current status of the MAT software development. The selected component codes and their capabilities are briefly described. User and module interfaces and integration status are presented. MAT pre- and post-processing added options are presented and overall MAT capabilities are demonstrated with the results of sample cases. Ongoing and planned model validation efforts are also described. Finally, the MAT future plan options are discussed. |
