[0084] The engine tested in this embodiment uses perchloric acid as an oxidant and terminal hydroxybutadiene as fuel. Using CEA thermodynamic calculation software, based on the Gibbs free energy minimum criterion and one-dimensional isentropic flow, the engine nozzle parameters, including nozzle temperature, pressure, component mole fraction, specific heat ratio, Mach number, etc., are calculated.

[0085] A computational domain grid for the exhaust plume flow field was constructed, with an axial length 1000 times the nozzle diameter and a radial dimension 100 times the nozzle diameter. Boundary conditions for the exhaust plume flow field were determined: pressure, velocity, and multi-component inlet conditions were applied at the nozzle outlet; uniform pressure, velocity, temperature, and atmospheric parameters were applied at the inlet; the pressure far field was characterized by inlet parameters. A kW turbulence model was selected; and CFD flow field simulation was used to calculate the exhaust plume flow field distribution, obtaining the temperature, pressure, and component mole fractions of the exhaust plume flow field.

[0086] Based on the simulation results of the exhaust flow field, the temperature distribution along the axial direction of the exhaust flow field is extracted. When the axial temperature no longer fluctuates significantly and decreases to the ambient temperature, this point can be taken as the cutoff point for the axial length of the exhaust. The starting point of the exhaust axis is the nozzle exit. The distance between the cutoff point of the exhaust axis length and the nozzle exit determines the axial length L of the exhaust. plume ;

[0092] First, turn on the high-speed infrared thermal imager, set the frame rate to 1000Hz, the pixel count to 256×256, and the detection spectral band to 2.7~2.9μm;

[0093] When the engine is started and the exhaust flame is emitted from the nozzle, the high-speed thermal imager begins to collect data simultaneously. After the engine is shut off, the high-speed infrared thermal imager stops collecting data. In this embodiment, a total of 10 seconds of data was collected. The collected infrared thermal image set M is then exported from the computer, where M = {T}. k ,L k,i,j}(k=1,2,3...N;i=1,2,3...a;j=1,2,3...b), where N is the total number of infrared thermal images acquired, N=10000, the number of horizontal pixels in the image is a=256, the number of vertical pixels in the image is b=256, T k To acquire the time corresponding to the k-th image, L k,i,j Let be the radiance temperature of pixel (i,j) in the k-th image;
