- 19:43, 14 November 2022 Getting Started with a Basic Simulation (hist | edit) [1,342 bytes] Gregd (talk | contribs) (Created page with "BurnSim was created for simulating solid rocket motors, with the goal being making it as simple as possible for a user to do so while being accurate as possible given valid inputs. To get started, the first step is to open BurnSim, where you'll see the main form: File:Burnsimstart.jpg Next, we need to get a propellant grain or two in there. For this test, we'll simulate a 54mm BATES grain motor. To add the grain, select "BATES" from the Grain Type drop down in the...") Tag: Visual edit

There are many options to go about collecting motor test data spanning using a few inexpensive components all the way up to dedicated data collection devices. The process outlined here is intended as a starting point and has many options for expansion. There are dedicated motor testing data collection devices that combine all the below components into a single device. There are 2 types of data m...") Tag: Visual edit

An example of such a motor can be seen here. center|thumb|400x400px The use of a test motor like this is based on [http://www.chemroc.com/sbpc.html Jim Lanier's work]. More details on the use of this motor will be posted here soon.") Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 16:53, 14 November 2022 Propellant Characterization (hist | edit) [1,833 bytes] Gregd (talk | contribs) (Created page with "In order to simulate a motor in BurnSim you need your propellant's characterization numbers. This consists of 4 things. Propellant density, C* / ISP*, Burn Rate Exponent (n) and Burn Rate Coefficient (a). Propellant density and C* / ISP* can be determined through ProPep software. To get the burn rate exponent (n) and burn rate coefficient (a) you need test data. Specifically, several burn rate / pressure data points. IE, at what rate does the propella...")

End surfaces can be inhibited. This is the most common propellant grain type. A BATES grain can be configured to burn progressively or regressively depending on length. If you want an End Burning grain, specify the core diameter as zero. When doing so, BurnSim will assume one end is inhibited and the other is...") Tag: Visual edit
