Bypass dual throat nozzle (BDTN) is a modern concept of fluidic thrust vector control. This method able to solve the problem of thrust loss without need the secondary mass flow from other part of engine. Internal nozzle performance and thrust vector angles have been measured in the BDTN experimentally and numerically. A new simple approach is proposed to detect the thrust deflection angle. Numerical simulation of 3-D turbulent air flow is carried out by using the RNG k-e turbulence model. The obtained results of thrust coefficient, discharge coefficient and thrust deflection angle have been validated by comparing with measured experimental data. The results show that for nozzle pressure ratio of 1–4 the tested nozzle able to deflect the thrust vector of 26.5°-19°. By increasing NPR from 2 up to 4, the thrust coefficient values will change in the range of 0.85-0.93. Also the effect of different positions of the bypass channel on the BDTN performance parameters has been investigated numerically. The predicted results show that the BDTN configuration with bypass duct on the first nozzle throat has the highest value of thrust deflection angle over the range of NPRs.
