3-D Simulations of Ignition Transients in the RSRM

This article describes the application of the Rocstar 3 multi-physics code to simulate the ignition phase of the Space Shuttle's solid rocket booster. The simulation's pressure history and axial pressure profiles are compared with experimental test data, demonstrating favorable agreement.

Ship Shock Modelling and Simulation for Far-Field Underwater Explosion

Y. S. Shin

Ship shock trials are physical tests used to evaluate a ship's ability to withstand a shock from an underwater explosion. Numerical modeling, particularly using finite element analysis, offers a cost-effective alternative by simulating the dynamic response of a ship and its components to such an event.
