As the propellant mass is being accelerated out of the gun chamber along with the projectile, a continuous pressure gradient exists between the end of chamber and the base of the projectile. For this reason, the base pressure-travel curve is very important to design a conventional gun barrel in the interior ballistics, but it is not obtained briefly by empirical or theoretical method. In this paper, a simple relation between chamber pressure and base pressure was determined by the factor of base pressure(Cb) obtained from the experimental method. The simple relation gives a reasonable prediction for the reduction of pressure between the breech and the base of projectile owing to the axial gradient in the gun tube. The predictions have been validated by the infrared screen sensor and the PRODAS(PROjectile Design and Analysis System) for interior ballistic systems. Therefore, the base pressure-travel curve could be calculated from the chamber pressure measured by piezoelectric sensor. The base pressure-travel curve obtained from the simple relation offers initial information to gun barrel designer and is used for calculation of muzzle velocity.

화포에서 탄저 압력이 포미 압력 보다 높은 역압력 구배가 발생하면 화포에 잠재적인 충격이 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 화포의 안전성을 확보하기 위해 발사 과정에서 이 역압력 구배를 최소화시키는 설계가 필요하다. 이에 수치 해석을 통해 점화제 연소율이 역압력 구배에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 점화제 연소율 상수가 증가할수록 역압력 구배는 증가하였고, 특정 연소율 계수에서 급격한 압력변동이 발생하였다.
