Thrust vectoring is a promising technology that offers the potential for improved maneuverability, control efficiency, and stealth characteristics of aircraft. Optimized nozzle design over a range of operating conditions is one of the most crucial factors for maximum thrust vectoring operation. Our goal was to investigate the optimal design of bypass dual throat nozzle to maximize thrust vectoring. We performed a multi-objective optimization study by varying the nozzle bypass angle, convergence angle, and bypass width to see what impact these parameters had on the performance of the bypass dual throat nozzle. A steady numerical simulation has been performed on 55 different nozzle configurations to compare their thrust vectoring performance and losses. In all simulations, the k- ϵ turbulence model is used to determine the vectoring states of the nozzle. The computational fluid dynamics analysis was followed by a multi-objective optimization process using the Response Surface Methodology within the ModeFrontier software. The testing of the optimized nozzle shapes using ANSYS FLUENT verified the accuracy and reliability of the multi-objective optimization algorithm. These findings suggest that nozzle convergence does not significantly affect thrust vectoring. In contrast, bypass width and bypass angle significantly affected thrust vectoring.
