The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the solid propellant rocket engine. The two step global reaction model for condensed phase and five step global reaction mechanism for gas phase are adopted to predict the detailed flame structure near double-base solid propellant surface. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is represented by the PaSR(Partially Stirred Reactor) model. To reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect, the Low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is employed. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the turbulent combustion processes and transient behavior of pressure and temperature fields in the solid propellant rocket engine.

This study has been mainly motivated to numerically model the supercritical mixing and combustion processes encountered in the liquid propellant rocket engines. In the present approach, turbulence is represented by the extended k-e model. To account for the real fluid effects, the propellant mixture properties are calculated by using generalized cubic equation of state. In order to realistically represent the turbulence-chemistry interaction in the turbulent nonpremixed flames, the flamelet approach based on the real fluid flamelet library has been adopted. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the effects of swirl number on flame structure of supercritical kerosene/LOx double swirl coaxial injector.

It is well known that nitroglycerin(NG) may evaporate and migrate from the triple base propellant grains in storage. This physical process makes it double base environment to the CCC(combustible cartridge case) which is based on nitrocellulose(NC) without NG. Meanwhile, it is not appropriate to use diphenylamine(DPA) as a stabilizer for CCC in this double base environment because of incompatibility between DPA and NG. So we estimated the shelf life to study the effect of NG migration from propellant to CCC by following the procedures in the STANAG 4257. And we found out that CCC with ethylcentralite(ECL) has 7.5 years longer shelf life than with DPA, when NG migrates to CCC from triple base propellant grains.

Recently, many studies have focused on the explosive waste treatment in terms of the safety and environmental pollution. A combustion process using fluidized bed incinerator has several profits : continuous process, low pollutive gases such as NOx, and high process efficiency. This study focused on the design of the propellant combustion reactor by using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulation technique. As a result, the reactions are successfully simulated in cylindrical incinerator, and. The study will influence to the research about treatment of explosive wastes.

JA2 Propellants, made by non-solvent process, are of great interest for the tank gun propellant. This is due to high energy. The grain geometries of JA2 and modified JA2 propellant were designed for application to 105mm APFSDS projectile. The combustion, thermochemical, and interior ballistic properties of the propellant were tested and calculated. The performances of the propellant were evaluated out using 105mm slug T2 projectiles and 105mm tank gun. The muzzle velocity of the propellants was higher than that of the KM30 for K274 projectile.
