The authors have been developing Cascaded Multistage Impinging-jet (CAMUI) type hybrid rockets. A CAMUI type hybrid rocket uses a fuel grain consisting of several cylindrical fuel blocks with two ports. To minimize both of c* loss due to O/F shifting and residual fuel weight after burning, an appropriate design of initial fuel grain shape is necessary. However, obtaining an optimum design of initial grain shape is not easy because there are many design variables influencing one another. To solve this problem, the authors employed Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with a numerical model forecasting performance history of a CAMUI type motor. GA can acquire an approximate optimum solution for problems with a vast search space in practical time. The numerical model gives c* loss and residual fuel weight to evaluate the degree of performance of each initial fuel grain shape. A fuel grain design proposed by this method showed residual fuel weight as small as 6.36% of the initial weight and c* loss less than 1%.

This paper investigates a thermal-fluid dynamics of CAMUI (Cascaded Multistage Impinging-jet) type hybrid rocket developed in Hokkaido University by using a large eddy simulation of turbulence. The performance of the hybrid rocket is sensitive to the changing shape of its chamber. To clarify this effects, numerical simulations were conducted using measured shapes. The results show the flow structures such as impinging fountain flow depending on the shapes at different burning time. Thease structures generate the particular heat flux distributions on the surface.
