Abstract
Combustion tests were conducted to investigate the high-frequency combustion instability of liquid-propellant rocket engines. An experimental apparatus was designed to examine the rapid and large pressure increase that occurs near the propellant injector, based on the mechanism of the off-design combustion model. The propellants were 2-propanol and gaseous oxygen. The propanol jet created a semi-enclosed base space near the injection port. Pressure in the semi-enclosed space due to combustion was 1.5–3 times higher than the pressure prior to combustion. The duration of the pressure increase ranged from 0.03 to 2 ms. The pressure increase and its duration agreed with the features of the high-frequency combustion instability of liquid-propellant rocket engines. The model temperatures affected the pressure increase and the duration of pressure change.
