Numerical investigation of the acceleration performance of a thermally choked ram accelerator
The flow fields of the thermally choked mode of ram accelerators were studied numerically. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of the gas reaction rate, the velocity and the projectile shapes on the performances of ram accelerators. The thermally choked mode was demonstrated to occ...
