Suppression Workshop Summary

Abstract

A workshop on the Chemical Suppression of Rocket Afterburning and of Gun Muzzle Flash was held at the Ballistic Research Laboratory on 11 and 12 June 1986. It brought together scientists representing six countries to share their collective fundamental understanding of the elementary, controlling processes in the generation of and the suppression of secondary combustion processes. This report is a distillation of the events of that workshop. It consists of short summaries of the 14 papers that form the Proceedings of the Workshop. Additional comments based on the discussion periods are appended to some of these summaries. In addition, an overall assessment of where this community stands and a list of recommendations for future directions and studies is supplied. Keywords: Suppression Workshop, Muzzle Flash, Alkali Salt Suppression, Rocket Afterburning, Suppression Network, Suppression Modeling, Alkali Reactions.
