This chapter presents the combustion aspects of solid rocket propellants. After initiation by the ignition system, the solid propellant’s surface is subjected to a stable, self-sustained flame or combustion wave structure. The chemistry and combustion wave structure for double base, composite propellants and advanced propellants containing nitramines (RDX, HMX) are discussed in detail in this chapter and important combustion models are also included.
