This report describes progress on a collaborative research program combining the expertise of individuals from several universities to develop a new ability to predict the propulsion performance of solid rocket motors. The focus of the research on nonsteady behavior is unique and the overall project is not possible at any one of the institutions participating in this coordinated research. The individual tasks which we are studying will pursue solid propellant decomposition under unsteady conditions, nonsteady aspects of gas phase flame structure measurements, numerical modeling of multidimensional flame structure, propellant/flame interactions and overall nonsteady propellant combustion characteristics in realistic rocket motor environments. Our goal has been to develop general models of fundamental mechanisms of combustion instability that can be applied to a variety of new energetic materials.
