Benavides","doi":"10.2514/1.b39444","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2514/1.b39444","url":null,"abstract":"For several decades, researchers have successfully computed surface burnback to perform complex analyses and simulations related to the combustion of solid propellants. Many of these methods are heuristic or empirical, lacking a rigorous foundation, whereas others introduce numerical issues not related with the involved physics. This paper establishes a common theoretical and numerical core that bases the general study of burnback problems even in the case of designing nonconventional propellants. It starts with Piobert’s statement as a first principle, derives that the eikonal formulation holds for propellants with heterogeneous and anisotropic recession rates, and gives a general mathematical structure for both situations. Then, several configurations found by rocket designers are numerically solved in order to show the efficiency and the accuracy of the theory. The main conclusion is that a direct numerical integration of the eikonal equation using a time marching method is enough in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy to track the combustion surface of any anisotropic and heterogeneous solid propellant.","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141383388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sidwell","doi":"10.2514/1.b39271","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2514/1.b39271","url":null,"abstract":"Limit cycle oscillation (LCO) detonation wave behaviors are presented and analyzed for test times exceeding 20 s in a water-cooled rotating detonation engine (RDE). LCO detonation waves exhibit cyclic acceleration and deceleration, resulting in oscillating wave spacing at unique process conditions. In previous RDE studies, similar behaviors have been studied as microsecond-scale instabilities leading to ascending or descending modal transitions. In the current work, however, LCO waves are considered a persistent wave mode, occupying unique portions of the operational envelope adjacent to those of their equally spaced counterparts. These occurrences of LCO waves are repeatable, enduring behaviors. A method to generate shifted contour surfaces specifically intended to extract and analyze wave spacing variation through time, termed limit cycle oscillation visualization (LCOV) surfaces, is presented. LCOV surfaces transform data into the reference frame of a primary traveling wave and are used to analyze quasi-steady, short-timescale, and transitional LCO modes. Results are leveraged to understand the relationship between fill height, wave strength, local wave acceleration, and subsequent LCO wave spacing for individual wave sets. Quasi-steady LCO waves display wave spacing oscillations between equal spacing values associated with [Formula: see text] wave across runs exceeding 18 s.","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141114659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework uses the particle-in-cell method to maintain a feasible computational complexity for consumer-grade hardware. Source models for individual emission sites are informed by an n-body single-emitter model. Molecular effects such as ion-cluster fragmentation are included. This model is used to predict array-level properties such as plume divergence angle, and to demonstrate the computational feasibility of modeling many emitters in parallel. This framework is used to quantify the relationship between array dimensions and space-charge- induced beam divergence. It is shown that including interparticle forces in plume expansion results in an increase in plume half angle by 8.1 deg for 80% and 9.8 deg for 90% of the emitter current for a commercial electrospray thruster. These data indicate that, at the array scale, space charge has a significant effect on plume evolution and must be considered in analysis of these systems.","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141118301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thrust density at the highest conditions are shown to be six (xenon) and eight (krypton) times higher than the lowest current condition. A maximum in anode efficiency as a function of discharge current is observed for both gases. This is attributed to a trade between mass utilization, which increases to unity with current, and beam utilization, which gradually decreases with current. The dependence of these efficiency modes on current is discussed in the context of a series of first-principles scaling laws. The observation that efficiency only moderately decreases with current density is examined in the context of high-power electric propulsion development.</p>","PeriodicalId":16903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Propulsion and Power","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140833912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
