Unsteady Combustion in Gaseous Propellant Rocket Motors

Abstract

This research work was directed toward the development of a consistent experimental and theoretical description of the phenomenon of intrinsic unstable combustion in the gas rocket. A determination was achieved of the contribution of gas phase rate processes, (in particular, chemical kinetics) , to the coupling of a finite-dimensional unsteady turbulent combustion zone and finite amplitude (linear and nonlinear) longitudinal mode pressure oscillations.
