Aiming at the pyrolysis and combustion process of the near burning surface of the pasty propellant, the laser ignition combustion experiment of the pasty propellant were carried out. At the same time, the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of the near burning surface region of the pasty propellant were studied based on the multiphase chemical reaction numerical sol¬ver developed by the research group and the 14-component and 14-primitive chemical reaction equation. The macroscopic structure of propellant combustion flame was obtained through experiments and the burning rate of the pasty propellant was measured under constant pressure conditions. The combustion flame structure and chemical reaction sequence of the pasty pro¬pellant under constant pressure conditions were analyzed by numerical calculations. The effects of different ambient pressure on the combustion process of the pasty propellant were calculated. The results show that the fitted burning rate curve was in good agreement with the experimental results. In the range of experimental pressure, the burning rate of propellant in the combustion chamber of pasty rocket engine could be predicted well. The decomposition of AP is the first reaction in the combustion of pasty propellant, and the higher ambient pressure limited the diffusion of primary combustion gases, but enhanced the thermal feedback effect on the pasty domain, which increased the burning rate of the pasty propellant.
