The streaky boundary layers have very important roles in laminar-turbulent transition.
Streaks of appropriate size can influence stabilities in boundary layers. In this paper, the …

In this numerical study, we investigate the grid dependence of the Chebyshev collocation
algorithm for flow stability analysis of solid rocket motors. Conventional analyses tend to …

This paper presents an efficient approach to solve for the internal ballistics in a solid rocket
motor. Legacy methods consist primarily of lower-order (one-dimensional) and higher-order …

We obtain linearized, BiGlobal thermoacoustic solutions in a pulse tube driven via an
imposed mean temperature gradient. Here, the pulse tube is treated as a key unit of a …

This paper includes a brief historical perspective of Propulsion as an academic endeavor at
Auburn University followed by a discussion of academic courses, outreach activities, and a …
