title = "Flame-spreading and combustion in packed beds of propellant grains",
abstract = "This paper is concerned with the prediction of the pressure history during the process of flame-spreading and combustion of solid-propellant grains as would occur, for example in a gun cartridge. Solution of the governing conservation equations for the two-phase media requires the use of empirical relations to account for the physical processes of momentum and energy interaction between the solid grains and hot propellant gas. The results indicate the extreme importance of these interaction relations on the predictions of the pressure and velocity field.",

note = "Funding Information: T HIS paper is an analysis of flame-spreading and combustion of small solid-propellant grains in gun cartridges, applying a two-phase continuum model previously developed in Ref. 1. The physical problem may be described as a solid-propellant combustion process which is sustained by convection of heat into the unignited propellant bed base type and is contained in a cylindrical chamber which is filled completely. At one end of this chamber is the igniter assembly, Presented as Paper 75-240 at the AIAA 13th Aerospace Science Meeting, Pasadena, Calif., Jan 20-22, 1975;submitted Jan. 29, 1975; revision received April 3, 1975.
