The aim of this course is for students to understand combustion, deflagration and detonation phenomena. These physical phenomena are characterized by high temperatures and pressure, reached in a short period of time.
High-level expertise is needed to successfully incorporate these phenomena into complex mechanical systems.

Objectives
To analyze and design a pyrotechnic device and ensure its integration into a mechanical system (plane, rocket, vehicle, weapon…) taking into account the regulatory and phenomenological constraints.
Content
- Compressible and reactive fluid mechanics
- Chemistry of energetic materials
- Solid propulsion
- Digital processing and simulation methods
- Pyrotechnic regulations
- ...
Strong points of the program
Numerous fields of application
The pyrotechnic and propulsion techniques studied are extensively used in various industrial sectors:
- The aerospace industry (rocket propulsion, satellites…)
- Defense (missiles, military explosives…)
- The automotive industry (airbags, seatbelt pretensioners…)
- Public works (mines, worksites, quarries…)
- Industrial hazard prevention (site cleanup, fires, explosions…)
At a time of heavy spending on defense and aerospace programs, industrial companies are eager to hire these pyrotechnics and propulsion specialists to meet the challenging demands of their clients, both in France and abroad.
This Advanced Master program also offers a gateway to PhD studies.
