There is many considerations of the composition development of propellant, performance analysis according to temperature, ablation condition of heat-resistant material, etc. in the solid rocket motor development process. Performance analysis of the motor according to nozzle expansion ratio is one of this process and an important factor to decide the motor performance. A Study is verified through anlaysis, motor manufacture and test.

A two-dimensional thermal response and ablation analysis code for predicting charring material ablation and shape change on solid rocket nozzle is presented. For closing the problem of thermo-structural analysis, Arrhenius' equation and Zvyagin's ablation model are used. The moving boundary problem are solved by remeshing-rezoning method. For simulation of complicated thermal protection systems, this method is integrated with a three-dimensional finite-element thermal and structure analysis code.

In this paper, unsteady characteristics of pressure in solid rocket motor were analyzed by using response of pintle actuation, pressure and thrust data from ground test. Pressure and thrust in solid rocket motor can be controlled in real time by varying nozzle throat area with pintle, installed in the valve. Unsteady characteristics of pressure can be observed in this system occurred by various reasons. Two critical reasons, error of pintle actuation and ablation of center tube, are found and effects of each reason can be analyzed individually by re-prediction of pressure with response of pintle actuation and analyzing thrust to pressure ratio.

Side jet thruster using nozzle closure separation device provides a solid rocket with a trajectory shift function. Side jet thruster consists of low combustion temperature propellant, neutral type propellant grain and nozzle closure separation device. If a trajectory shift is required, side jet thrust is generated on the rocket by separating some nozzle closures located in the opposite direction to thrust. After completing trajectory shift, the other nozzle closures located in the thrust direction are separated to cease side jet thrust. The operation process is verified through ground static test. The result in this study can be applied to changing rocket trajectory by controlling side jet thrust through nozzle closure separation.

본 논문에서는 해석영역의 형상변화, 즉 로켓노즐 내열재의 삭마로 인해 야기된 경계 면의 이동을 고려하면서 2차원 비정상 비등방성 재료의 열전달 문제를 해석할 수 있는 수치해석에 대해 기술하였다. 수치해석 알고리즘은 유한요소법이며 열해석시 경계면 이동으로 인한 격자계의 절점 좌표점이 계산과정 동안에 이동하는 변형 가능한 유한요소격자(transformable finite-element grid)를 사용하였다. 본 수치해석기법의 타당성 입증을 위해 극심한 열하중이 부여된 조건하에서 엄밀해가 존재하는 비정상 축대칭문제 및 고체로켓 노즐내열재에 대해 열해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 수치해는 엄밀해 또는 실험치와 잘 일치함을 보이었다. 여러 가지 복합재로 구성된 내삽노즐 또는 외삽노즐에 대해서도 안정된 수치해를 얻을 수 있었다. 아울러 노즐목삽입재로 탄소-탄소 복합재를 적용한 고체추진기관 내삽노즐을 해석모델로 택하여 열전달 해석을 수행하고 해석결과를 분석하였다. 노즐의 표면산화반응에 대한 열반응상수, 즉 Arrhenius 형태로 표시된 식에서 pre-exponential factor 및 activation energy 변화가 탄소-탄소 복합재 및 탄소-페놀릭 복합재의 삭마량에 미치는 영향에 대해서 고찰하였다.

Firing test of solid rocket motor with pintle-technology carried out and the measured pressure-time curve was compared with the values predicted by the internal ballistic and performance analysis. Without baffle, the measured combustion chamber pressure was similar with the predicted pressure at the beginning of combustion, but gradual increase in pressure, which was unexpected with the end-burning grain of which burning area is constant, was observed. A baffle was inserted to make uniform flow over the pintle. Unlike the thruster without baffle, the measured combustion chamber pressure was 1.4 times higher than the predicted value. Through the CFD simulation, 10% of total pressure loss of the flow was observed from combustion chamber to nozzle throat when the baffle was inserted. The measured pressure with baffle was predicted well by considering the total pressure loss in the internal ballistic modelling and performance analysis.

Solid Rocket Motor(SRM) has advantages such as - high specific impulse, operational safety and simplicity in design and manufacturing process but thrust magnitude can't be controlled. For studying of pintle nozzle that can control the thrust magnitude of SRM, cold flow test and numerical analysis about needle type pintle shape were performed and results were presented in this paper. As the results of this study, pintle tip's shape and nozzle contour were important design parameters because thrust performance and variable thrust range of pintle nozzle depend on them. Especially, the thrust of needle typed pintle nozzle adopted in this test was predicted 13% higher than normal nozzle without pintle.
