Executive Summary : | Huge solid rocket motors has the inevitable side effect of generating overpressure waves during their startup transient period. The ignition Over pressure have a significant effect on the vehicle dynamics during the initial moments of lift-off. Considering the future launch vehicle with huge solid rocket motors, it is imperative to study the generation, interaction and suppression of such waves with the vehicle in a scale model facility. Blast Generator is required for such studies. Studies by academia experts in the field of detonation or blast waves has to be conducted. Also the setup has to be simulated numerically for blast wave propagation and interaction. Further the numerical simulation has to be validated by the experimental results. |
