We examine sandwich propellants constructed from sheets of pure ammonium perchlorate (AP) interleaved with an AP/binder blend, and construct solutions numerically using a code that fully couples gas-phase and solid-phase processes via an unsteady moving interface. This code has been used elsewhere to simulate the burning of random packs of spherical AP particles embedded in binder. We show that for a stoichiometric configuration, variations of the burning rate with α (a measure of the oxygenation of the AP/binder blend) are not monotonic, but display a weak maximum; and variations of the burning rate with sandwich thickness are monotonic for small α, but display a minimum for large α (e.g. α = 0.5). When the equivalence ratio is varied, the burning rate displays a maximum on the fuel-lean side when α is small, on the fuel-rich side when α is large. These results, and the manner in which the sandwich topography varies with the different parameters, suggest that the configuration could be invaluable for validating the model ingredients and parameter values of heterogeneous propellant combustion codes.
