In a study published on January 18, 2024 in the journal Physics of Fluids, researchers from Tohoku University theoretically linked ignition and deflagration in a combustion system, unlocking new ...

Chinese researchers have been building a body of work on how solid rocket motors behave when ignited deep underwater, where extreme hydrostatic pressure fundamentally changes the way exhaust gases ...

Despite much investigation as a rocket fuel, the full potential of boron has never been realised. It could get another chance to shine, thanks to a better understanding of the role impurities play in ...

Detonation wave propulsion harnesses the rapid, self-sustaining shock‐driven combustion of fuel–oxidiser mixtures to achieve pressure gain and significantly higher energy release rates than ...
