Abstract:Based on the vacuum plume effect test system of some SinoRussian cooperation project built in Beihang University, and the mission requirements of the space station plume effects experimental research, this paper successfully conducts the aerodynamic force experiments of 10N bellshaped thruster plume by impacting on the tablet. The vacuum chamber, the vacuum pumping system, working fluid supply system, data acquisition system, 10N bellshaped thrusters and aerodynamic measurement devices are introduced. To be closer to the engineering practice, the aerodynamic experiments are equipped with real bell thruster, and the associated aerodynamic experimental scheme is given. The pressure distributions of plate surface with three different flatpanel installation locations are presented. This work provides insight into the future study of the plume aerodynamic force.
