In the frame of this project the comprehensive flow studies were carried out for different design configurations taking into account the defined parameters accompanying the firing phenomenon. Tests were aimed at collecting data on the behavior of flows inside suppressor cartridges under conditions associated with the firing process. Parameters such as pressure, temperature, velocity and properties of individual geometries were systematically recorded and analyzed. The obtained results formed the basis for the analysis, allowing the comparison of different design variants and evaluation of their effectiveness. In addition, a comparison was made between the designed inserts dedicated to incremental manufacturing and a comparative insert which can be produced by the existing technology of cavity machining. Part III contains the results of numerical analyses of the designed expansion chambers using SolidWorks Flow Simulation software.
