Title:
Development of commercially useable codes to simulate aluminized propellant combustion, and related issues
Agency / Branch:
DOD / USAF
Contract:
FA9550-06-C-0078
Award Amount:
$100,000.00
Abstract:
We propose to examine the necessary ingredients for the development of marketable codes which will: model the morphology of heterogeneous propellants (a packing code); calculate the thermal and mechancial properties of such a morphology or pack; simulate the combustion of the pack; predict the statistics of aluminum agglomeration on the burning pack surface; simulate the flight of these agglomerates through the chamber, after surface detachment; and calculate the performance impact of this flight.
