Energy Contributions Associated with Combustion Instability.
Abstract
The investigation of new and novel laboratory test techniques for determining the acoustic energy contributions of burning propellants will be pursued. Emphasis will be on methods that provide a more direct measurement than presently employed. Initial effort will be focused on methods for directly determining the response of solid propellant combustion to incident acoustic pressure waves. If successful, the method, or methods, for pressure-coupled measurement will be modified to provide direct velocity-coupled response measurements. These methods are expected to lower the cost of characterizing the acoustic combustion response of solid propellant formulations of interest to the Navy and to provide improved accuracy of measurement.
