N2 - Hydrogen peroxide as recently seen a renewed interest as propellant in space propulsion applications, as both monopropellant and oxidizer. Catalyst bed design is a fundamental aspect for the development of a successful propulsive system H2O2-based. Numerical analysis can strongly contribute to the identification of key design parameters. In this paper, alternative formulations of constitutive relations are proposed in order to extend the classical multiphase mixture flow (MMF) model to the Forchheimer’s flow regime and to cover the whole range of liquid saturation. Numerical results are compared with data literature and model capabilities discussed and highlighted.
