An Open-source Solver to Model the Catalytic Decomposition of Monopropellants for Space Thrusters

Show other versions (1)

This paper presents a solver for the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) modeling of catalytic chambers in monopropellant thrusters based on the open-source OpenFOAM® (Open Field Operation and Manipulation) framework. A model was formulated and used to simulate the physical and thermochemical proces...
