CHEMICAL ROCKET PROPULSION: A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF ENERGETIC MATERIALS 545-575 2017 [Refereed]
The demand for the economic and dedicated space launchers for vast amount of lightweight, so-called nano-/microsatellites, is now growing rapidly. There is a strong rationale for the usage of the hybrid propulsion for economic space launch as sugg...
Numerical analysis on the instability of liquid/dense fluid films under supercritical operating conditions is performed on methane fuel. A numerical code for compressible fluid flows, accommodated for the van der Waals equation of state, is develo...

To understand the mechanism of the generation of large roll torque in an operating solid rocket motor with axially slotted propellant grain and a narrow nozzle-submergence region, fully three-dimensional Navier-Stokes numerical simulations are con...
Proceedings of the International Astronautical Congress, IAC 2016
Results of conceptual study on technology demonstration in flight of a newly proposed hybrid rocket (HR) being enabled mixture-ratio-controlled throttling (MRCT) are described in this paper. The proposed system, named Altering-intensity Swirling-O...
