  • Dissertation Defense: High Temperature Shock Tube and Laser Diagnostics Measurements of Fuel Combustion for Solid Fuel Ramjets

    Virtual

    Announcing the Final Examination of Jacklyn Higgs for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is a common solid rocket fuel that is used in solid-fueled ramjets (SFRJs) for hypersonic propulsion. Renewed interest in hypersonic systems has developed a need to simulate HTPB combustion using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). However, the current chemical kinetic mechanisms lack the experimental …
