REVIEW OF MODELLING OF PLUME RADIATION FROM SOLID ROCKET MOTOR
RÉSUMÉ
The present paper aims to bring all research carried out in the field of modeling of plume radiation from solid rocket motors. The analytical and numerical procedures followed, and major inferences drawn are reviewed in detail, and compared where ever possible. Review has been made through a discussion of the analysis methodologies and the factors that influence plume radiation from solid rocket motors (SRM). Historical perspective of prediction methodology of SRM plume radiation is brought out. Efforts are made to bring out the research carried out in combustion modeling of SRM propellant, Al2O3 particle size and thermo-optical property estimation, methods of solutions for and particle radiation modeling. Critical gaps and recent progress made are highlighted for setting up the future direction of research.
