A new recoil reduction method of gun was proposed in this work to reduce the recoil without reducing the muzzle velocity and changing the continuous firing mode. Its recoil reduction mechanism was studied based on the two-phase flow theory. First, combining the gas-solid two-phase flow in the barrel, the electromagnetic control in the electromagnetic valve, the fluid-solid coupling in the piston cavity, and the transient gas flow in the exhaust pipe, an eight-stage mathematical model of the gun propulsion process was established. Next, the propagation law of the rarefaction wave in the barrel was discussed. Then, the propulsion difference between the gun proposed here and the traditional gun was presented. The results showed that the proposed method could reduce the recoil impulse by 38.20% without reducing the muzzle velocity under reasonable matching of the structural parameters.

In order to improve the recoil reduction ability of the weapon without reducing the projectile velocity, the weapon with a nozzle and two chambers separated by a partition is proposed. Taking the 35 mm caliber grenade launcher as the research object, the physical model of its launching process is proposed, and the one-dimensional two-phase flow interior ballistic model is established. MacCormack difference scheme is used to calculate the coupling of multiple physical fields formed by front and rear chambers and nozzles. Compared with the calculation results obtained by using the classical interior ballistic model, the correctness of the two-phase flow interior ballistic model is verified. The effects of the charge amount in the rear chamber and the size of the air guide hole in the barrel on the internal ballistic performance of the weapon with a nozzle and two chambers separated by a partition. The calculation results show that compared with conventional weapons, the recoil impulse can be reduced with maintaining muzzle velocity, and the recoil reduction efficiency can reach 72.27%, which is of great significance for improving weapon performance.
