Abstract

In this study, solid rocket motor internal ballistic, has been investigated. Flow field consists of internal grain space and converging-diverging nozzle. Axisymmetric, compressible and transient Euler equations have been considered as governing equations and erosive burning has been considered as an important phenomenon in solid rocket motors. Fluent software and its moving mesh capability have been used to flow field modeling. At the first time, an appropriate UDF has been utilized to achieve a good simulation of erosive burning. The results show very good agreement with other numerical results.
