Abstract
A theoretical model has been developed to investigate turbulent mixing and combustion processes in the main combustion chamber of a solid-propellant ducted rocket. The formulation is based on Favre-averaged conservation equations with a two-step chemical reaction scheme and is solved by a semi-implicit finite-difference method. Turbulence closure is achieved using a well-known k-e two-equation model. Calculated flow structures show good agreement with preliminary experimental results obtained from the schlieren flow-visualization study. The influences of various parameters, including dome height and inlet flow angle, on the propulsive performance of the system are investigated in detail.
