(mentor) Gill, E.K.A. (graduation committee) van Zuijlen, A.H. (graduation committee) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Programme Aerospace Engineering Date 2017-08-31 Abstract The influence of using different chemistry model and different chemical kinetics schemes on modeling combustion inside a rocket engine igniter are investigated. An igniter for a LOX/CH4 rocket engine is designed and a CFD model is developed which is used to model the designed igniter. Verification and validation methods are discussed.
