RESEARCH ON RECIRCULATION WITHIN ROCKET COMBUSTION CHAMBERS

Abstract

The initial concept of a dynamically scaled model of an element of a real liquid fueled rocket combustion chamber incorporating phase change was developed. Photographic evidence of the recirculation patterns in this model were obtained. These patterns suggested that a live motor would have to be built to check the scaling laws and pattern similarity. Evidence from the cold model suggested some mechanisms for unstable combustion. (Author)
