Numerical Simulations of Flow and Fuel Regression Rate Coupling in Hybrid Rocket Motors

Abstract

The hybrid propulsion offers some remarkable advantages like high safety and high specific impulse and thus it is considered a promising technology for the next generation launchers and space systems. The purpose of this work is to validate a design tool for hybrid rocket motors (HRM) through numerical simulations.
