The purpose is to develop and apply a systematic simulation approach for dynamic analysis in order to study a two combustion chambers liquid propellant engine.

    Design/methodology/approach

    The logic of the simulation method and the software is based on following the liquids. The implicit nonlinear algebraic equations are solved using a number of nested Newton-Raphson loops, and the nonlinear and time varying differential equations are solved using a first-order Euler technique.

    Findings

    It is found that the developed simulation code predicts the steady-state values with errors under 5 percent, and this code has the capability to be used in studying the effect of various elements and subsystems parameters on the forecasting the performance and operation of the engine system.

    Research limitations/implications

    At present, the research is limited to a specific liquid propellant engine. Development of a general purpose software package for simulation of liquid propellant engines, based on the developed simulation algorithm, is subject of future research.

    Practical implications

    The major outcome of this research is that verifies liquid engine simulation code may be used as a suitable tool to optimize the engine.

    Originality/value

    This is the first paper in the area of a two combustion chambers engine simulation and dynamic analysis that is based on the application of an existing simulation algorithm.
