N2 - Gas-particle flow simulations for liquid metal oxide droplets dispersed within the gas phase are performed to assess particle agglomeration/breakup processes in a solid rocket motor with radial slot. The one-way coupled population balance equation (PBE) is solved using the direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM) assumption along with Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation (RANS). Parametric studies are performed on various radial slot geometries with inhibitors. The effect of cross flow is assessed with respect to Mach number (or pressure difference), mass flow ratio between main and slot flows, step height behind the slot, and mass fraction of the dispersed phase.
