A Comprehensive Analysis of Laser-Induced Ignition of RDX Monopropellant

摘要

A comprehensive analysis of laser-induced ignition of 1,3,5-trinitrohexahydro-s-triazine (RDX) monopropel- lant has been performed with consideration of detailed chemical kinetics. The model considers the transient development in the entire combustion zone, including the solid-phase, subsurface two-phase, and gas-phase regions. The formulation accommodates detailed chemical kinetics and transport phenomena in the gas phase, as well as thermal decomposition and subsequent reactions in the subsurface two-phase region.
