Review of Solid Propellant Ignition Models Relative to the Interior Ballistic Modelling of Gun Systems.

摘要

The modelling of solid propellant ignition is investigated with the aim of implementation into the numerical code Casbar. The current state of the art in solid propellant ignition and combustion modelling is reviewed, with a simplied condensed phase ignition model chosen as the suitable candidate. A number of methods of solving the mathematical models are analysed, with results compared. Based on these results, the solution by integral methods to the condensed phase model was chosen for implementation into Casbar.
