The effect of inlet swirl on the flow development and combustion dynamics in a lean-
premixed swirl-stabilized combustor has been numerically investigated using a large-eddy …

A comprehensive theoretical/numerical model for treating AP/HTPB composite-propellant
combustion in a rocket-motor environment is presented. The formulation takes into account …

The use of Al-based nano-energetic materials has been limited in part due to difficulties in
fabrication of high-density composites. In this paper, free-standing energetic composites with …

The mixing and combustion of liquid oxygen (LOX) and gaseous methane of a shear coaxial
injector operating under supercritical pressures have been numerically investigated. The …

In the domain of energetic materials (EMs), the high-energy and high-strength propellants
are always what are the scientists pursuing to satisfy the great demands of fast development …

Combustion of solid propellants in rocket propulsion systems usually occurs in an intense
cross-flow of combustion products (solid rocket motor), gaseous oxidizer (hybrid rocket …

A systematic data-analysis procedure is established to explore the underlying mechanisms
responsible for driving unsteady flow motions in gas-turbine combustors. Various data …

Metal particles are widely used in space engineering to increase specific impulse and to
supress acoustic instability of intra-champber processes. A numerical analysis of the internal …

Triple‐base gun propellants composed of nitrocellulose (NC), triethylene glycol dinitrate
(TEGDN) and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were …

Thermoacoustic instability (TAI) has consistently presented challenges to the development
of solid rocket motors (SRMs), making the prediction of TAI critically important. Most existing …
