System modelling: performance, hydraulic and thermal.
Behavioural and system-level modelling support propulsion architecture definition, hydraulic component validation, requirement derivation, thermal analysis and preliminary performance evaluation.
Design, CAD and thermostructural analysis.
Complex parts and assemblies are developed through CAD-based design workflows, supported by structural and thermostructural analysis for critical propulsion components and interfaces.
CFD, multiphysics and high-performance simulations.
Thrust chamber and injection-section phenomena are analysed through CFD and multiphysics models, including combustion, hydraulics, conjugate heat transfer, thermal response and multiphase flow optimization.
Hydraulic and cold-flow test benches for propulsion components.
Finis Terrae designs, manufactures and operates ground support equipment for accurate measurement, control and validation of propulsion subsystems, injector sections, thrust chamber cooling sections and pump-related hardware.
Injector cold-flow and hydraulic test rigs.
- Accurate measurement of pressure drop, temperature, density and mass flow rate.
- Testing with water, nitrogen, helium, air or representative simulant fluids.
- Digital control and acquisition system for measurements and servo-controls.
- High-speed camera support for droplet and spray formation analysis.
- Cold-flow and hydraulic testing for injector posts, injector sections and thrust chamber cooling sections.
