Abstract

Thermoacoustic oscillation, which stems from phase correlation between unsteady heat release and acoustic fluctuation, can cause severe vibration and incite the excessive local heat transfer inside the rocket engine. It is very important to understand and prevent this phenomenon in the way of rocket engine development. In this study, the propulsion test facility of KSR-III, which is the first liquid propellant rocket developed by KARI, will be introduced. and the characteristics of thermoacoustic ocillation occurred at the facility will be examined.
