Abstract
Untypical unstable burning with very low frequency was observed at firing test of a gas generator using bundle cylindrical grain. The pressure unbalance between inside and outside of cylindrical grain brought such a low unstable burning. The grains were radially holed so that the high pressure gas inside of grain could quickly moved outward of gain, resulting dissipation of the pressure unbalance However too many holes were required to let the burning be stable for all operation regime from low to high temperature of grain and resultantly deteriorate the Progressive increase of gas amount produced by a gas generator. So another idea using grids located both sides of a bundle grain was applied to dissipate actively large vorticities enhanced by unbalance pressure distribution in a combustor. Finally stable burning with progressively increase of gas was established by application of 5${\times}$5 grid slightly away bundle grain to move bundle gain freely in case pressure unbalance were occurred inside of combustor.
