T-burner tests of an Al/HTPB propellant in conjunction with a Pulsed DB/AB Method were conducted to find an acoustic amplification factor. Aluminum-free and aluminum-heavy propellants were examined. Instant surface ignition was successfully made by the use of a supplementary propellant of fractionally higher reaction rate. With the presence of higher aluminum concentration in the propellants, the pressure perturbations were promptly damped down and the pressure fluctuations were no longer dispersive. Addition of aluminum particles into the propellant was advantageous for stabilizing pressure-coupled unstable waves.

Using the numerical code for the interior ballistics, the performance of the interior ballistics with the characteristics according to the position of the solid propellant in chamber has been investigated. In existing research, propellants have been evenly distributed in the chamber. In this study, however, several cases of the existence of empty space in the chamber at which the propellants are not evenly distributed are considered. The 7-perforated propellant configuration has been used in this research. The results have shown the change of performance of the interior ballistics according to solid propellant positions in the chamber.

In this study, numerical methods for the code development of the interior ballistics have been conducted. Mathematical models and numerical methods for the analysis technique of the granular solid propellants have been investigated. As the results of applying the methods of errors have been generated by calculation for the specific surface area of the granular solid propellants. To remove these error, the developed Eulerian-Larangian method for multiphase flows has been suggested.

The mortar system is useful for infantry because of effectiveness to position operation and to attack at opposite slope that can not reached by direct-firing guns and howitzers. The Army continuously has researched on 120mm mortar system, and insist needs for 120mm mortar system with advanced accuracy, mobility and range. In this study, we had designed the formulation of solid rocket propellants applied on 120mm rocket assisted projectile, and fabricated a prototype, and investigated feasibility of rocket assisted projectile for 120mm mortar results from static firing and flight test.

The characteristics of hydro-reactive metal fuel(HRF) propellant on motor performances such as specific impulse and chamber temperature were analyzed by thermodynamic calculation methods. The thermal analysis and burning rate experiments of HRF propellants were also carried out for studying effects of metal fuels on combustion properties.

In the current study, the numerical method was established to predict the performance of a solid rocket motor with two kinds of propellants. On the basis of a numerical study, an internal ballistics analysis code was developed. To verify the internal ballistics analysis code two solid rocket motors were manufactured and tested. The accuracy and applicability of the internal ballistics code for dual-propellant solid rocket motor were verified by comparing the experimental results with the numerical calculation.

Low pressure combustion characteristics of the composite solid propellants were studied in terms of the propellant burning rate, ignition processes, and the structure of the extinguished surfaces. Optical Vacuum Strand Burner(OVSB) system was designed and configured for this purpose. Burning rates of the propellants were measured at subatmospheric pressure by developed test method in OVSB. The ignition and combustion phenomena of the studied propellants in the combustion chamber of OVSB were recorded and analyzed with the camera and VCR(30 frames/s). Burning surfaces of the propellants were extinguished by rapid depressurization method and analyzed with Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM).

In this study, AOT that is used as a surfactant in various industries was applied to an HTPB/AP solid propellant. AOT is one of the anionic surfactants, and there have been cases where AOT was reported to induce self-extinguishable properties in propellants overseas. In this study, solid propellants using AOT were prepared, and their properties and combustion characteristics were investigated. The combustion rate of the AOT-applied propellant drops sharply when the pressure reaches a certain value during combustion. Further, the density and hardness of the propellant are lower than those of conventional HTPB/AP propellants.
