In this study, the numerical and dynamic simulation on staging problem including forward jet mechanism is conducted. The forward jet plays a vital role in staging, which jets out from aftbody. This staging environment needs full dynamic characteristics study and flow analysis for securing staging safety. Present study performs dynamic simulation of forebody and aftbody with flow analysis using the Chimera grid scheme which is usually used for moving body simulations. As a result, the separation mechanism using forward jet well work in staging for given initial conditions and reverse thrust, chamber pressure variation from experiments. Furthermore, it is found that the technique using forward jets for staging is excellent for securing the separation safety.

Both numerical analysis and experiment of cold and hot tests were performed to obtain basic design data for the swirl coaxial type Injector and to predict the combustion performance. Mass distribution, mixing distribution, mixing efficiency, characteristic velocity efficiency were measured by the cold tests and numerical analysis using the commercial thermo-hydraulic program. Test and analysis variables were recess, pressure drop, velocity ratio, mixing spray, mixture ratio. Hot tests were performed for the Uni-element injector to compare the performance with the cold test results, and, hot tests for Multi-element injector were performed to compare the performance with Uni-element injector. Designed thrust of the Uni-element injector liquid rocket was 35kgf at sea level and combustion chamber pressure, 20bar. Kerosene and Lox were used as a propellant.

Hybrid rocket had many advantage with compared to solid and liquid rockets. In this study, swirl flow hybrid motor was designed and manufactured. And the methods of regression rate improvement were considered. Thrust was calculated with pressure of the combustion chamber and the regression rate was measured by using ultrasonic sensor technique in entire firing conditions. In this study, PMMA fuel and HTPB solid fuel were used in firing test.

Ducted rocket produces thrust by 2 steps, primary incomplete combustion in the gas generator, and secondary complete combustion reaction in combustion chamber mixed by air taken through duct. the range of a rocket is determined by the weight of propellant, especially the weight of fuel. So ducted rocket has more efficiency and high terminal speed compared to traditional solid rocket motor. This propulsion system expected to be applied to various kinds of missile for anti-aircraft, anti-ship

There exist a lot of factors and restrictions for the design of solid rocket motors like burning rate, of solid propellant, demanded thrust, chamber pressure, diameter, length, weight and acceleration. For the optimization of these factors and restrictions, integrated design software for internal/external ballistic analysis was developed and verified by the performance test of solid rocket motors.

DC-shift phenomenon can be observed in Hybrid rocket combustion. This phenomenon makes performance drop which is structure problem or reduce thrust. Understanding of DC-shift phenomenon, the condition of the hybrid rocket combustion stability can be found. In this paper, the condition of Negative DC-shift was found and made by changing oxidizer flow with pre-post chamber. The Negative C-shift phenomenon and characteristic were defined from the experimental study.

The blowdown oxidizer feeding system is effective in the respect of higher reliability by the small number of parts and the absence of additional pressurization tanks, but it also has the unfavorable disadvantage such as thrust variation during the operation. Thus, in order to understand the these performance characteristics inherent in the Hybrid Rocket Motor (HRM) with blowdown oxidizer feeding system, this study proposed the integrated mathematical model to describe physical phenomena in the following parts: the oxidizer tank, combustion chamber, fuel grain, nozzle and injector.

In this study, the numerical and dynamic simulation on staging problem including forward jet mechanism is conducted. The forward jet plays a vital role in staging, which jets out from aftbody. This staging environment needs full dynamic characteristics study and flow analysis for securing staging safety. Present study performs dynamic simulation of prebody and aftbody with flow analysis using Chimera grid scheme which is usually used for moving simulations. As a result, separation mechanism using forward jet well works in staging for given initial conditions and reverse thrust, chamber pressure variation from experiments. Furthermore, it is found that the technique using forward jets for staging is excellent for securing the separation safety.
