The performance of hybrid rocket engines is significantly influenced by the fuel geometry. Burnback simulations, to determine the fuel surface and fluid volume, are therefore an important tool for preliminary design. This work presents a method for the s...

Hybrid rockets are safe and inexpensive; however, boundary-layer combustion poses a problem in achieving a fuel regression rate equivalent to that of solid propellants. The fundamental combustion conditions, such as the fuel regression rate of LT421, a p...
