A study of the numerical modeling and prediction of nonlinear unsteady combustion instability within the combustion chamber of a solid rocket motor (SRM) is the main objective. The numerical model consists of a three-dimensional finite-element representation of a cylindrical-grain motor, coupled to a quasi-one-dimensional internal ballistic flow (IBF) model, where a quasi-steady rapid kinetic rate burning rate algorithm is used to model the propellant combustion and regression. Fluid-structure-combustion interaction subroutines are also employed to control the simulated motor firings and the data transferred between the fluid, structure and burning rate model components. Results illustrating the significant effects of structural vibrations on the burning rate and consequently the IBF are shown and compared to experimental data. Modeling considerations are illustrated, giving insight into the physical phenomena of SRM combustion instability.

The structural integrity of solid rocket motor(SRM) grain is severely tested owing to the combined action of low temperature and pressure load under the load case of low temperature ignition. The three dimensional finite element model of SRM was created to analyze the structural integrity of the SRM grain subjected to low temperature and ignition pressure based on three dimensional viscoelastic finite element method via MSC.Patran/Marc. Meanwhile, cold pressurization test was applied on certain SRM. The experimental result and numerical result were compared based on uncoupling principal of temperature and pressure. The result show that the safety factor of solid rocket motor grain is 2.46 which can meet the requirement of structural integrity. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results. Relevant research methods and conclusions can provide reference for the design, analysis and test of SRMs.
