Solid Propellant Instability of Combustion 1964. Appendix I: Theory of Acoustic Instability in Solid Rocket Combustion. Appendix II: Experimental Solid Rocket Combustion Instability

摘要

A review is given of the phenomenon of combustion instability in solid propellant motors, with emphasis of advances occurring since the publication of a similar review in 1960 (AD-244 320). Topics include: pressure response; erosive response; non-linear instability; acoustic loss mechanisms; change in the mean pressure and other consequences of high amplitude oscillation; vibrations in the solid; non-acoustic instability; aluminum and aluminum oxide as additives; the scaling problem. Two papers prepared for presentation at the Tenth Symposium (International) on Combustion are included as appendices.
