Abstract

This article presents a method of calculating the simulation of flow in solid fuel combustion chamber, which applied to the two-layer mixed solid propellant motor, using simulation software Ansys Fluent. The regression of burning surface of the propellant is simulated using dynamic meshing tool combined with user-defined functions (UDF), written in C++ programming language. The author proposes a method to calculate the average fire rate for mixed solid fuel, thereby simplifying the simulation process and still get results corresponding to the experimental results. The calculation thrust-time curve has a profile similar to the experimental results. The maximum thrust achieved during the steady burning phase is 4.98 kN, the correspoding experimental value is 5.0 kN.
