Numerical Study of Solid-Rocket Motor Ignition Overpressure Wave Including Infrared Radiation

TL;DR: In this article, the main characteristics of the ignition overpressure in the far field and the assessment of afterburning influence on both its formation mechanisms and its alteration by the jet plume are numerically investigated.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Numerical Simulations Of A Model Solid Rocket Motor Ignition Overpressure Wave

TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations of model solid rocket motor ignition overpressure wave were performed with the CEDRE unstructured reactive flow solver developed at ONERA to reproduce major trends such as the effects of nozzle shape and motor pressure build up rates.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

CFD Analysis of Unsteady Ignition Overpressure Effects on Delta II and Delta III Launch Vehicles

TL;DR: In this article, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation procedure for prediction of transient engine exhaust plume flowfield effects acting on Delta II and Delta III launch vehicles before liftoff is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Numerical simulations of rocket solid motor engine ignition and duct overpressure waves at reduced scale

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Onera CEDRE code to perform reactive LES computations, with several combustion models, to characterize the ignition overpressure waves generated at the motor exit and the flame trench exit.

Modeling Solid Propellant Ignition Events

TL;DR: Smyth et al. as discussed by the authors developed a computational model to predict solid-propellant ignition events, including a steady-state code and a transient ignition code, for the AP/HTPB/Al cookoff.
