Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 25 July 2023

Abstract
  The aim of this research is to optimize the trajectory of a low-trust spacecraft carrying biological cargo. Reducing the radiation stresses of the Van Allen belt is the optimal criterion of the optimal control problem of the orbital transfer from the low orbits to the high orbits. Since the minimum radiation ...  Read More

Sajad Davari; Hadiseh Karimaei

Volume 15, Issue 3 , September 2022, , Pages 109-118

Abstract
  In this research, design and simulation of a single capillary injector and three-hole circular injector plate of a 10N Hydrazine monopropellant thruster were performed. Ansys Fluent software was used to simulate the injector and injector plate . Volume of fluid (VOF) method was used to simulate such ...  Read More

Hadiseh Karimaei

Volume 12, Issue 2 , September 2019, , Pages 11-21

Abstract
  the effect of the internal geometry of the injector of a low-thrust monopropellant thruster on the characteristics of the outlet liquid sheet, such as the liquid sheet thickness, the spray cone angle, the average output velocity, and its mass flow rate, have been studied. For this purpose, simulation ...  Read More

Design and Simulation of Fuel Injector of a 10N Monopropellant Hydrazine Thruster

Hadiseh Karimaei

Volume 11, Issue 3 , December 2018, , Pages 9-19

Abstract
  Monopropellant thruster of atitude control system is a requirement for the development and functionalization of satellites in space, which have expensive and high-tech technology. Hydrazine thrusters are currently the most widely used thrusters for guidance and control systems of re-entry and manned ...  Read More
