제트 베인에 의한 추력 방향 제어 장치는 롤 운동 제어를 가능하게 하고, 큰 선회 각도를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 기계 장치가 비교적 복잡하고, 제트 베인의 열적, 구조적 문제를 해결하여야 한다. 복잡한 기계 장치는 유동 해석의 측면에서 고려해 볼 때 격자 형성을 어렵게 만들어 유동장 해석을 통한 성능예측을 어렵게 만든다. 구조물의 응력해석을 위하여 제트 베인 표면에서의 정압력과 더불어 마찰력도 고려하여야 하는데, 정확한 마찰력 계산을 위해서는 난류 모델링이 필수적이고, 그에 따라 벽면 근처에서 격자를 밀접시키는 것이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 상용 유동해석 소프트웨어인 Fluent를 사용하여 제트 베인이 장착된 추력 방향 제어 장치의 3차원 난류 유동장 계산을 수행하였다. 피치, 요 운동의 경우와 롤 운동의 경우로 구분하여 계산하였으며, 최대 받음각을 $25^{\cire}$ 로 하여 제트 베인의 받음각에 따라 회전축에 작용하는 힘과 모멘트를 계산하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 개발될 제트 베인이 장착된 추력 방향 제어 장치의 개념설계 단계에 필요한 기본자료로서 신뢰도를 높이는데 도움이 되리라 판단된다.

Thrust vector characteristics of jet vanes installed in a shroud are very unique and much more complicated than those of the jet vane acting without any shroud by the fact of additional physical phenomena. The fluid dynamic interferences induced by jet vanes and shroud as well as jet vane's aerodynamic performance are investigated to characterize thrust vector control by semi-empirical model, three dimensional numerical analysis including real complex geometry, and ground firing test of real motors.

Of the various means for active trajectory correction, a thrust vector control system represents the only principle independent of missile external forces so that this method is operative. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristic of jet vane TVC(Thrust vector control) system among mechanical jet deflection. To ensure high performance leading edge shape, aspect ratio and ablated condition is optimized. Supersonic flow system, jet vanes and nozzle with Mach number 2.88 and under expansion ratio 2 were designed to study aerodynamic characteristics of leading edge shape, aspect ratio and ablated conditions.

Thrust vector control system is control device which is mounted exit of the nozzle to generate pitch, yaw and roll directional force by deflecting flow direction of the supersonic jet from the nozzle. By obtaining control force, jetvane which is exposed in jet flow is working thermal and aerodynamic load. Axial thrust loss and side thrust is affected by shock patterns and interactions between jetvanes according to jetvane geometry and turning angle. In this study, we designed 6 types of jetvane to evaluate pitch, yaw and roll characteristics of ietvane in supersonic flow, and perform the cold flow test in range of turning angles of jetvanes between $0^{\cire}$ and $25^{\cire}$ by $5^{\cire}$ respectively. Also, calculation is going side by side to analyse flow interaction. Results show that there is no interactions between jetvanes upto turning angle 20$^{\circ}$, chord and lead length ratio is very important parameter to aerodynamic performance and maximum thrust loss is appeard to 17% of axial thrust in roll directional control.

A computational investigation has been carried out to study the heat transfer characteristics of jet vane assembly used for the thrust vector control(TVC) of a vertical launch motor. In this study, the coefficients of convective heat transfer on the jet vane are calculated using the solutions of thermal boundary-layer equation and several semi-empirical equations. The calculation of 3-dimensional temperature distribution for the jet vane assembly was performed using the softwares called PATRAN and ABAQUS. The accuracy of the present numerical method is verified by comparing with the measured and calculated temperatures within jet vane shaft. The temporal variation of jet vane temperatures for three deflection angles(0o, 12.5o, 25o) was discussed.

추력 편향제어(Thrust Vector Control)는 위성 발사체나 대륙간 탄도 미사일과 같이 공기가 희박한 고 고도에서의 비행자세 제어와 궤도수정, 지대공이나 함대공 유도탄처럼 발사 직후 저속에서 임의의 방향으로 급선회해야 할 경우에 노즐의 배출가스 방향을 직접 조절하여 모멘트를 발생시키는 제어방식을 말한다. 이 방식 중 널리 사용되고 있는 제트 베인 추력 편향제어방식은 베인이 직접 고온, 고속의 가스 흐름내에서 작용하기 때문에 재료는 내열성과 제트 베인 주위에 형성되는 유동 특성, 그리고 베인간의 유동 간섭이 중요한 인자이다. 그러므로, 제트 베인의 실용화는 수치해석에 의존하던 개발 초기나 중기의 설계 단계에서 벗어나 실제 크기나 축소모델의 유동 모사 시험에 의해 성능이 검증되어야 한다.(중략)

Thrust vector control system is a control device which is mounted on the exit of the nozzle to generate pitch, yaw and roll directional force by deflecting flow direction of the supersonic jet from the nozzle. Thermal and aerodynamic loads are acting on the surface of jet vane when it is exposed to the jet flow. Axial thrust loss and side thrust loss are affected by shock patterns and interactions between jet-vanes which varies with jet-vane geometry and turning angle. In this research, the performance estimation using the numerical simulation analysis of the nozzle is given and the investigation of the flow visualization and aerodynamic performance with the enforced power to the vane is taken.

Jet vane is an useful component which is installed at the end of a nozzle for the purpose of the posture control and the secure controlling stability during the initial launching of a rocket. During several seconds from its initial launching moment, the JV driving part is heated due to the direct contact of the vane with the combusted gas and the vane is ablated mechanically or chemically. In this study, as the fundamental study for the thermal analysis of jet vane, the heat transfer into a jet vane which is located in the uniform supersonic flow field is calculated. For this, boundary layer integral method and finite difference method are used simultaneously. Based on the thermal boundary conditions derived from the analysis, the transient heat conduction in the vane is also calculated.

Theoretical analysis and performance test of Jet vane type Thrust Vector Control(TVC) were conducted using supersonic cold-flow system. The use of TVC Systems an in particular jet vanes, are currently being researched for use in air launch, ship launch, underwater launch and high altitude maneuvering of tactical missiles and rockets. The necessity to generate control forces to rapidly change the course of the missile is frequently required when traditional, exterior aerodynamic surfaces are unable to produce these forces, when the flow over the control surface is insufficient. This situation can occur at launch, or high angles of attack of the control surfaces. Jet vanes peformed well at all altitudes and environmental conditions, and jet vanes are extremely effective at deflection angles up to as high as $30^{\circ}$, make them ideal for the launch and maneuver applications. In this study, performance test of supersonic cold-flow system and visualization of supersonic jet was conducted, and shape and deflection angle effect of two types of jet vanes are investigated.
