The simulation of cryogenic flows in rocket combustion chambers is challenging because we have to consider a reactive mixture over a wide temperature and density range. This necessitates the use of more advanced fluid models that impose additional computation overhead. In this study we compare two equation of state (EOS) mixture approximation approaches for cryogenic flows in rocket combustion chambers and present a computationally efficient implementation within a Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) context. The numerical study is validated with experimental results of a lab-scale rocket combustion chamber with optical access.
