Simulations of Slumping Propellant and Flexing Inhibitors in Solid Rocket Motors

Abstract: We describe and present results from GEN2, the second-generation three-dimensional solid rocket motor simulation package developed at CSAR. The internal gas dynamics, propellant combustion, and structural response are fully coupled. In addition to several test cases, we simulate propellant slumping at a joint slot due to uneven gas pressure loads in the Titan IV SRMU. We also study the motion of a flexible inhibitor and its effect on the gas flow near a joint slot in a section of a typical large solid rocket m… Show more

“…To assess the effects of load transfer schemes on aeroelastic problems involving large displacements, we now consider the aeroelastic deformations of a flexible beam subjected to a subsonic flow field. This problem is motivated by that of an inhibitor protruding into the core flow field of a solid rocket motor [17,18].…”

“…The first published methods for either quasi-static, e.g. [2,3] or dynamic [4][5][6], coupling between gas and solid require interfaces with interpolation techniques as well as separate flow solvers and mesh generators for each phase. The latter poses particular demands on the designer, especially in three dimensions, where generation of geometrically complex (e.g.…”
