[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid rocket engines, and in particular relates to a method and a device for actively controlling the burning rate of an electromagnetically sensitive solid propellant. Background Art

[0002] For a long time, missile weapons or rockets as a whole often hope that the thrust of the engine can be adjusted and controlled in real time to achieve efficient energy management in order to obtain better ballistic performance and use performance. However, once the solid grain of the traditional solid rocket engine is ignited in the combustion chamber, its combustion process cannot be regulated in real time, resulting in the difficulty of adjusting the engine thrust output in real time and poor energy management. In the existing technical solutions, the solid rocket engine that can change the thrust in real time is represented by the throat plug type variable thrust solid rocket engine. Its principle is to change the cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle throat channel by controlling the movement of the throat plug, thereby changing the size of the engine thrust. However, since the throat plug is directly exposed to the harsh environment of high pressure, high temperature and high-speed multi-phase flushing of the nozzle, the throat plug has a very serious ablation problem, the profile is difficult to maintain, resulting in the difficulty of accurate thrust regulation, and there are strict requirements on the size and working time of the engine. In addition, the variable thrust solid rocket engine solution based on electronically controlled propellants is still in the exploratory stage, and there are disadvantages such as low energy level of propellants, difficult electrode arrangement, and the need for additional energy supply.
