Abstract
Hypergolic thrusters have been extensively researched and applied to spacecraft propulsion based on their simplicity and high reliability of ignition. Research on the impingement characteristics of $N_2O_4$/amine has been profoundly carried out since the 1960s in advanced countries, especially the United States. Recently, enhancements to advanced hypergolic thrusters using MON/MMH have been planned by NASA to improve compactness and high performance. In this work, technical studies were investigated on the mixing of hypergolic propellant and its combustion instabilities such as reactive separation flow and popping.
