This paper extensively reviews hybrid rocket propulsion-related activities from combustion
engine designs to launch tests. Starting with a brief review of rocket propulsion development …

Nozzle erosion predictions are fundamental to increase the technology readiness level of
hybrid rocket engines. In this work, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations of the …

In this work, two representative hybrid rocket injector designs, a single-port and an axial
showerhead design, were examined experimentally to determine the comparative influence …

Hybrid rockets have very interesting characteristics like simplicity, reliability, safety, thrust
modulation, environmental friendliness and lower costs, which make them very attractive for …

A novel fuel regression measurement technique was developed using a single-port, clear
polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) grain and a high-resolution camera, providing temporally …

Spectral analyses were performed on high-speed video of three nitrous-oxide/paraffin-
based hybrid rocket launches and one static test fire of a nitrous/paraffin-based hybrid rocket …

A laser absorption tomography (LAT) technique was employed to investigate two axial
hybrid rocket injector designs, single-port and showerhead, via quantitative imaging of the …

Abstract A Hybrid Rocket Motor (HRM) is a type of chemical rocket propulsion in which the
propellants are stored in different physical states. To counter the low regression rate …

This dissertation details novel experimental methods and analytical techniques developed
to characterize hybrid combustion of solid fuels with gaseous oxidizers. The primary focus of …
