1.2 Numerical analysis of solid propellants on the meso-scale - Solid propellants
- High energy density
- Aluminum, boron, and zirconium …
- heterogeneous properties because of adding plasticizers and metal particles to change mechanical properties or control the combustion rate
- Numerical analysis
- Melt layer of Solid propellants on the meso-scale
- In-house CFD tool called hydrocode using the level-set method and the ghost fluid method
