Abstract
As a key part of the pyrotechnic gas generator, the filter not only removes the particulate matter but also cools the hot gas to a safe level. This paper aims to improve the understanding of the basic heat and flow phenomenon in the gas generator. The pyrotechnic gas generator is modelling by a simplified filter structure with fiber arrays. A finite-volume model of the heat and fluid flow is proposed to simulate the detailed multi-dimensional flow and energy conversion behaviors. Several verification results are in good agreement with data in different references. Simulation results demonstrate that the filter can not only absorb heat from the gas but also cause the high intensity enhancement of the heat transfer. The performance difference between inline and staggered arrays is also discussed. The findings of the study put a further prediction tool for the understanding and design of the filter system with fibers.
