Analysis and Theoretical Modeling of the Combustion of Granular Propellants, with Experimental Verifications.

Abstract

Gas-permeable propellants possess great potential for producing sizable thrusts within extremely short time intervals. A research program was set up with the objectives: (1) to obtain a deeper understanding of high speed flame propagation and the gas dynamic behavior of two-phase reactive flow systems; and (2) to predict the rates of gasification during transient heterogeneous combustion of granular propellant beds.
