Abstract: High pressure accumulated by propellant burning in high pressure ejecting apparatus makes the chamber open instantly and eject a projectile to a target. In order to grasp the complex change of gas flow in the launching chamber, a two-dimensional interior ballistics model is established and simulated by Runger-Kutta and MacCormark schemes. The calculated pressure results are reliable by comparison with the experimental ones. The flow field characteristics are got through the analysis of the calculated results, such as gas pressure, velocity, etc. The results show that the size and distribution of high pressure gas accumulated at the bottom of the projectile have the direct effects on the ejection performance.
