Numerical Simulation of Laser Ignition of Rocket Fuels in Igniters

Abstract

n the nearest future, the space industry will try to reduce the Earth-to-orbit transportation cost by employing multiple-use Liquid Rocket Engines (LRE) in launch vehicles and multiple-start-up low-thrust LRE in spacecrafts. This demand from new generation of rocket engines multiplicity in use and providing several starting of engine. One of the main technical problems of developing such engines is to create a reusable reliable ignition
