A SUMMARY OF RECENT COMBUSTION INSTABILITY RESEARCH IN SOLID ROCKET PROPELLANTS AT THE BRL,

Abstract

A summary is presented of progress made in the solid propellant combustion instability program at the Interior Ballistics Laboratory of BRL since the fall of 1962. Recent developments in the acoustic admittance measurements are pre sented; a description oapparatus and exper imental objectives of a program on acoustic erosivity effects on propellant burning rates are given; and outside contract work on combus tion instability which is supervised by BRL is reviewed.
