Analysis of the Mechanically Choked Ram Accelerator
The ram accelerator is a hypervelocity launch concept which uses a ramjet-like propulsive cycle to accelerate a projectile to hypersonic velocities. Research surrounding this technology has thus far been primarily focused on the thermally choked mode of operation, which relies on acceleration to …

Transient Computational Fluid Dynamic Modeling of Baffled Tube Ram Accelerator
… fluid dynamic modeling in laboratory frame of reference was used to investigate baffled tube ram accelerator operating characteristics in inert and reactive mixtures. The minimum entrance Mach number that allowed supersonic projectile transit through a baffled tube filled with inert gas …

Advances in Baffled and Railed Tube Ram Accelerator Operation and Modeling
The ram accelerator is a novel chemical propulsion device capable of accelerating projectiles up to orbital velocities. It utilizes a ramjet-like propulsive cycle, where a projectile travels through a stationary tube filled with a gaseous propellant, experiencing high levels of thrust throughout …
