Abstract: In this work, we present two simple mean flow solutions that mimic the bulk gas motion inside a full-length, cylindrical hybrid rocket engine. Two distinct methods are used. The first is based ...

Abstract: Stodola’s area-Mach number relation is one of the most widely used expressions in compressible flow analysis. From academe to aeropropulsion, it has found utility in the design and performance ...

Abstract: The isentropic flow equations relating the thermodynamic pressures, temperatures, and densities to their stagnation properties are solved in terms of the area expansion and specific heat ratios. ...

Abstract: In this work, the onset of turbulence inside a rectangular chamber is investigated, with and without side-wall injection, in the presence of an oscillatory pressure gradient. Two techniques are ...
