The combustion of molten metals is an important area of study with applications ranging
from solid aluminized rocket propellants to fireworks displays. This work uses digital in-line …

Fluorine-containing organic substances (FCOS) are often added to aluminized solid
propellants to improve their ignition and combustion characteristics, but existing FCOS …

This work addresses the role of heterogeneous reactions occurring during aluminum
combustion. Direct numerical simulations are conducted on a single aluminum burning …

The ignition sensitivity and explosion hazard of Alsingle bondMg alloy dust were
systematically studied in this paper. The flame propagation and explosion characteristics of …

Hybrid explosion experiments of hydrogen/aluminum dust in open space were performed.
Aluminum dust with a median diameter of 56.18 μm was mixed with hydrogen at different …

A modified interfacial Riemann problem accounting for phase change and surface tension
was developed to couple a reacting gas to a vaporizing compressible liquid. Results from …

A detailed chemical kinetic model of aluminum oxidation in gas phase has been
constructed. Quantum chemical calculations are performed for obtaining molecular …

Aluminum particle burn rates are known to be a strong function of particle size as the mode
of burning transitions from diffusion to kinetically controlled. To better understand the rate …

This paper presents the effects of the combustion of aluminium droplets in the context of
solid propulsion. A focus is made on the specific case of pressure oscillations. After a brief …

Experimental and numerical works were carried out to investigate the decomposition and
combustion characteristics of composite propellant with magnesium and aluminum particles …
