DEVELOPMENT OF PERISCOPE FOR THRUST CHAMBER COMBUSTION ANALYSIS

Abstract

The object of the high-frequency combustion instability study was to develop a periscope to permit visual study of high-frequency instability and other phenomena of the combustion process in full-scale thrust chambers. Emphasis was placed on developing a reliable device to protect the optical system from the heat, erosion, and pressure of combustion, and designing a versatile optical system with a high resolution and wide field of view. The optical system, called a periscope, will be capable of being used for high- speed color photography of the combustion process.
