Characterisation and simulation of the influence of propellant geometric variability on gas delivery profiles
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Ballisticians do not currently take the significance of propellant grain geometry variance into account for the various solid propellants found within guns of various calibres (Baschung & Grüne, 2000). Conventional Internal ... -
Internal ballistics simulation study of propellant geometry for optimal combustion and packing density
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)A conventional bullet or projectile, driven by the rapidly expanding gas formed by the combustion of the propellant charge, accelerates in the barrel and reaches a certain muzzle velocity, spin, and propulsion energy. The ...
