Abstract

The problem of combustion pressure oscillation in liquid-fuel rocket motor operation has long been the subject of theoretical and experimental investigations.The low frequency (less than 200 cps) type of oscillation, known as “chugging”, has been thoroughly analysed and the problem solved (see Crocco, 5th Combustion Symposium, p. 164).This Note is concerned with the more complex (and more destructive) high frequency oscillations, covering a range from about 1000 to 6000 cps. Such oscillations can resonate with the acoustical modes of the combustion chamber. Longitudinal, tangential and radial oscillating modes have been observed.
