Flow visualization in the Space Shauttle's main engine
Space Shuttle's main engine hot gases flow was simulated on a Cray computer and the results were visualized. The problem of simulation of great manifold geometries consisting from 64000 nodes in the example of turn-around and bowl, the velocity vector plot on a microcomputer in 2D-technique and afterwards in 3D-technique with 16 million colors are compared and presented. Hot gas maniforld static pressure distribution and velocity distributions in some parts of the manifold are visualized by this technique. This technique can be used to check the errors, shortening the procedures from days to hours. (Jarc)
