Features: Computational interior ballistics is an interdisciplinary field that has developed on the basis of modern interior ballistics, computational fluid dynamics, and computer science. This book not only introduces the computational methods used in numerical calculations of interior ballistics but also elaborates on the theoretical models of interior ballistics and provides engineering practical examples, which helps readers gain a comprehensive understanding of numerical simulation methods for interior ballistics. Based on the characteristics of high temperature, high pressure, high speed, transient, and violent chemical reactions during the interior ballistics cycle, this book establishes physical and mathematical models. According to the properties of interior ballistics mathematical equations, corresponding computational methods are adopted for numerical solutions. For different categories of interior ballistics problems, different interior ballistics models and computational methods are employed. The book focuses on numerical calculation problems of interior ballistics for solid propellant guns, liquid propellant guns, liquid propellant electro-chemical guns, pulse detonation propulsion, and ram-accelerated propulsion. This book can serve as a reference for university teachers and graduate students in fields such as aerospace, engineering thermophysics, power engineering, and mechanics. It can also be used as a textbook for weapon systems majors and as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in weapon systems research and development.
