The development of electrothermal chemical launch technology and the effective ignition of energetic thermoplastic elastomer (ETPE) propellants all call for a thorough understanding of the plasma propellant interaction mechanism. Therefore in this work, a numerical model is developed to study this process. In this model, special attention is paid to deal with the regression of propellant surface, which is caused by plasma ablation, and is assumed to have considerable influence on the interaction process. By this model, interaction features of four propellants, including two ETPE propellants are studied with the aid of experiments, which are carried out to obtain plasma parameters utilized in the model. Surface temperature, ablation rate, and surface regression rate are obtained for different propellants under plasma impingement. Finally, the influence of propellant composition and charging voltage are analyzed.
