This viewgraph presentation reviews the flow analysis of the propulsion feedlines in the X-34. The objective of the analysis was to determine the flow development at the engine interface, and to predict the pressure drop in the feedline. The presentation shows the design of the feedlines, and the computational grids. It reviews the numerical method, which included solving the curvilinear coordinate transport equations. Line graphs review the computational fluid dynamic results. The results and conclusions are also presented.
