Theory of Flame Front Propagation in Porous Propellant Charges under Confinement

Convective Burning in Propellant Defects: A Literature Review

“…The first, more complicated approach, is based on conservation laws, expressed as differential equations, augmented by empirical relationships for friction, heat transfer, and propellant ignition and combustion [Kuo (1977); Takata and Wiedermann (1976); Kuo (1973); Krier and Gokhale (1976)]. …”

The Starting Transient in a Gas-Generator Hybrid Rocket Motor

“…There are only three physical conditions for this purpose. To obtain the other three missing boundary conditions, the method described by Kuo et al (10,11) and Peretz et al (12,13) is used, according to which, extraneous equations obtained by the method of characteristics are de®ned. This method is based on the following approach.…”

Numerical Solution of Three Solid Propellant Combustion Models During a Gun Pressure Transient

“…This can be traced to errors in the tridiagonal matrix inversion used by both Methods (B) and (C). Using a uniform mesh system as an example, the diagonal element of the matrix is given by Carslaw, H. S., and Jaeger^ J. C. 3 …”
