Solid Propellant Shock to Detonation Modeling and Formulation
SBC: BUCKMASTER RESEARCH Topic: AF08T003Determining the hazard classification of new propellant formulations is important for transportation safety and storage concerns. To avoid costly grain redesign and additional testing, a model that adequately predicts the shock sensitivity, including the outcome of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory Large Scale Gap Test, of modern solid propellants is required. The goals of this proposal are to de ...

Instrumentation for Hypersonic, Air-breathing Engines
SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF083120The operating conditions of air-breathing propulsion engines demand designs that include cooling by the fuel and use of lightweight materials that withstand extreme heat fluxes under oxidizing conditions. Currently there are no means to non-invasively measure the fuel temperature with the required temporal and spatial resolution. It is important to monitor and maintain the maximum fuel temperatu ...

Technologies for Rapid Affordable Hypersonic Flight Testing
SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF083179The transition in boundary layer flows from laminar to transitional to turbulence has an important impact in hypersonic vehicle aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics. Ground tests of boundary layer transition are generally unsatisfactory due to the high noise levels of ground facilities compared to flight. Flight provides the best environment for measuring transition. However, current methods for ...
