The present research paper attempted to utilize a computational investigation for optimizing the fluidic injection angle effects on thrust vectoring. Simulation of a convergent divergent nozzle with shock-vector control method was performed, using URANS approach with Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model. The variable fluidic injection angle is investigated at different aerodynamic and geometric conditions. The current investigation demonstrated that injection angle is an essential parameter in fluidic thrust vectoring. Computational results indicate that optimizing injection angle would improve the thrust vectoring performance. Moreover, dynamic response of starting thrust vectoring would decrease by increasing nozzle pressure ratios and secondary to primary total pressure ratios. Also, shifting the location of fluidic injection towards the nozzle throat would have positive effect on response time. Additionally, the results of response time are more sensitive to primary and secondary total pressure ratios of nozzle and fluidic injection location than the fluidic injection angle. Furthermore, increasing fluidic thrust vectoring performance has negative impact on nozzle thrust at different expansion ratios. In addition, to guide the design and development of an efficient propulsion system, the current study attempted to initiate a database of optimum injection angles with different important parameter effects on thrust vectoring and nozzle thrust decline.
