The artillery firing process will instantly produce high-temperature and high-pressure gunpowder gas, this process will produce shock waves. The gunpowder gas has a limited effect on the projectile during the firing and ballistic after-effects period, however, it has a very obvious effect on the stability of the gun body, and the reduction of the stability of the gun body directly affects the firing accuracy and the safety of the firing personnel. Based on the method of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), numerical simulation is carried out, and the structure and flow parameters of the muzzle flow field are obtained by using three-dimensional Euler's control equation, gas equation of state, and k-epsilon model, as well as dynamic mesh technology. By comparing the flow parameters of the brake before and after optimization, and analyzing the results obtained from the 8-round firing experiments, the efficiency of the optimized brake is increased by 8.2%, and the deviation between the experimental data and the simulation results is only 10.5%, which not only verifies the accuracy of the numerical simulation calculations but also verifies the optimized brake's good retracting effect. The results of the study can provide a reference for the optimization and design of the double-chamber brake.
