This work presents a novel approach for the modeling of the entrainment in the numerical
simulation of the internal ballistics of hybrid rocket engines with paraffin-based fuels. This …

In this work, systematic firing tests have been conducted to evaluate the thermodynamic
performances and combustion behaviors of Solid Fuel Ramjet (SFRJ) fueled by paraffin …

Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations with submodels of turbulence, chemistry,
fluid–surface interaction, and radiation are performed in this work to rebuild the internal …

Burning tests of a laboratory-scale hybrid rocket engine were carried out with gaseous
oxygen and a microcrystalline-wax-based fuel to look into the feasibility of using an intrusive …

The energy characteristics and theoretical performance of the hybrid rocket fuels are
discussed in this paper. Aluminum (Al) and boron (B) metal additives were used to increase …

The use of paraffin-based fuels is a promising approach to a low regression rate in hybrid
rocket engines, and the capability to describe and predict combustion instability in the …

A novel gas-surface interaction and entrainment model are described in the following paper,
whose aim is to improve the lacks shown by the previous simplified model developed by the …

In the last decade a significant and ever growing interest has been addressed towards
hybrid rocket propulsion, which offers the best-of-both-worlds by leveraging the favourable …
