A two-dimensional axisymmetric model for the cook-off of solid rocket motor is established. The reaction kinetics for the cook-off process of AP/HTPB is described by the two-step global chemical mechanism. Numerical predictions of the cook-off behavior for the propellant are conducted at fast heating rate of 1.45-2.45 K/s,and slow heating rate of 0.001-0.003 K/s, respectively. The results show that in the fast cook-off condition. the initial ignition position of AP/HTPB occurs in the annular region of the outer wall of propellant without exception, and the center point in the region is(889.1,149.5). For the region, the axial width is1.8 mm and radial thickness is 0.8 mm. However, in the slow cook-off condition, the ignition center position is shifted along the axial direction toward the right end face of the propellant with the increase of heating rate. Therefore, the influence of heating rate on ignition temperature and ignition delay time is nonnegligible within a certain range.展开更多

The ignition time was measured. A thermal reaction model of GHL explosive was established. The external flame flow and decomposing heat of explosive were considered. The numerical simulation of cook-off test was conducted by computational fluid dynamics（CFD） software, FLUENT. Comparing the calculated results with the measured, external heat flow and kinetic parameters of GHL explosive were achieved. Ignition temperature, ignition position and temperature distribution in explosive were analyzed. The optimization of fuel pool size was also discussed by calculations. The measured results show that only burning reactions occurred during the tests. The ignition time and ignition temperature were 43 s and 583 K respectively. The ignition position lied in the underside of both ends of cylindrical explosive, which was placed horizontally. The modeled results indicate that the optimum fuel pool is 1 000 mm wide, which can ensure complete engulfment of explosive cylinder by external fire and save fuel oil.展开更多
