is a tool currently being built to analyze the burning characteristics of heterogeneous solid propellants. The ultimate goal is an unsteady three-dimensional simulation of heterogeneous propellant burning as part of the DOE-ASCI effort at the University of Illinois within the Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets (CSAR). Pursuit of this goal forces us to examine important scientific issues relevant to propellant burning, many of which have not been adequately addressed in the archival literature, even if well recognized. The current strategy is an incremental one, an examination of specific issues in isolation, to the extent that is possible.
