Study on the effect of pressure on the thrust force of a solid propellant engine operating in a water environment
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The paper presents the results of research on the impact of ambient pressure on the thrust of solid rocket engines when operating underwater at different depths. The study establishes a system of equations for rocket propulsion, considering the variations in ambient pressure while functioning in an aquatic environment. It develops algorithms and constructs a computational program for rocket propulsion in solid rocket engines operating underwater. The paper further explores how water pressure affects the engine's pressure and thrust.
