Nonlinear Aspects of Combustion Instability in Liquid Propellant Rocket Motors Sixth Yearly Progress Report, 1 Jun. 1965 - 31 May 1966

This is the sixth yearly report on the research at Princeton University on the problem of combustion instability in liquid-propellant rocket motors. These investigations have been sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under NASA Contract NASr-217 and, in the past, under NASA Grant NsG-99-60. The nonlinear aspects of the problem have been emphasized in both the theoretical and experimental portions of the program. Presently, the theoretical research primarily involves studies of possible mechanisms or forcing functions of the instabilities, the nonlinear gasdynamic oscillations associated with instability in rocket motors, the effect of the exhaust nozzle on the stability, and the effect of damping devices on the stability. In conjunction with the theoretical program, an experimental program of an equally broad range is being conducted. This program includes basic experiments both with rocket motors and "cold" chambers which have been designed to study various combustion processes in order to provide understanding which would be useful in the construction of a theoretical model. It also includes studies of the effects of exhaust nozzles and damping devices upon the instability as well as controlled testing of liquid rocket motors with parametric variations intended to determine the factors which strongly influence the incidence of nonlinear combustion instability.
