Report on JANNAF Workshop 'Influence of Gas-Phase Chemical Kinetics on Low-Pressure Ignition and Flamespreading in Solid Propellant'
Abstract
A workshop on the subject influence of Gas-Phase Chemical Kinetics on the Low-Pressure Ignition and Flamespreading in Solid Propellants was held at Hampton, VA, on 23 and 24 October 1986 in conjunction with the 23rd JANNAF combustion Meeting. The objectives of the workshop were to a) force a synergisitc interaction between those whose measurements have provided evidence for the participation of chemical kinetics in low-pressure solid propellant burning and those who are striving to simulate these events with interior ballistic models and b) address problems of anomalous ignition behavior in gun propelling charges. The workshop participants a) reviewed the evidence for the participation of chemical kinetics in the low-pressure burning of solid propellants, b) reviewed model simulations which include finite-rate kinetics, and c) determined which model simulations and further experimental characterizations would be most fruitful. This report documents the workshop.
