Understanding Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability in Paraffin-Based Hybrid Rocket Fuels [PDF]
Liquefying fuels show higher regression rates than the classical polymeric ones. They are able to form, along their burning surface, a low viscosity and surface tension liquid layer, which can become unstable (Kelvin--Helmholtz instability) due to the ...
