HIGH-FREQUENCY COMBUSTION INSTABILITY AND SCALING OF LIQUID PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS,

Abstract

The following theoretical and experimental programs are in progress which are related to the instability and scaling problems in rocket motors: A steady-state aero-thermo-chemical analysis for a liquid bipropellant rocket motor with small contraction ratio employing droplet ballistics for both fuel and oxidizer. A non-linear wave propagation analysis in a droplet burning heterogeneous combustion field. A non-steady droplet evaporation analysis and concomitant experimental verification. The paper includes the experimental results obtained thus far from investigating the oscillatory behavior of the 500 1bm thrust JP5-Lox rocket motor. (Author)
