Modeling of Flames Flows and Rockets

Abstract

This research is concerned with theoretical studies of combustion and related flow problems that are relevant to the Air Force mission. Recent topics that have been examined include heterogeneous propellant flame modeling, the construction of 1-dimensional flame models from subgrid 3-dimensional descriptions, aluminum agglomeration, the combustion of heterogeneous propellants containing aluminum, the use of a genetic algorithm to optimally define false kinetics parameters in propellant combustion modeling, and instabilities of smolder waves.
