The effect of pressure perturbation in the ramjet engine on the characteristics of the inlet is studied via numerical simulation. The frequency and amplitude of the pressure perturbation are assumed to be 500Hz and 20% of the exit back pressure, respectively. The simulation shows the characteristics of the normal shock in the inlet according to the pressure perturbations. The relation between the captured mass flow rate and downstream pressure perturbation is studied. The mass flow rate decreases when the downstream pressure perturbation starts.

Combustion tests of a low thrust rocket engine was performed to get combustion characteristics, which used a high concentrated hydrogen peroxide and kerosene as the oxidizer and fuel. The engine consisted of multi injector(six coaxial swirl injectors), chamber, nozzle and catalyst ignition system. The test was carried out by changing O/F ratio from 3.8 to 11.0. The experimental results showed that combustion efficiency was highest at O/F ratio from 5 to 6 and pressure fluctuations of all the range were lower than 5%.

One of the most common causes of failure of space launch vehicles is combustion instability. Combustion instability is a phenomenon that the pressure perturbation inside the combustion chamber is greatly amplified due to the interaction of the pressure perturbation inside the combustion chamber and the heat release perturbation. When this phenomenon becomes worse, an engine failure or launch vehicle crash occurs. In order to predict and avoid such combustion instability, understanding of the phenomenon is indispensable, and numerical, theoretical, and experimental approaches to combustion instability have been carried out worldwidely.

A typical unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account the erosive burning with the variance of local velocity and pressure along grain surface to the axis of a solid rocket combustor. The model introduced in this study showed good agreements with the results of previous research. It was investigated that the combustion pressure, grain length, initial temperature, and vaporization temperature of propellant affect on the erosive burning.

A typical unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account of the erosive burning with the variance of local velocity and pressure along the grain surface of a solid rocket combustor. To validate the model of concern in the study, both cases of non-erosive and erosive burning were compared with the previous researches with marginal accuracy. It was quantitatively investigated that the combustion pressure, grain length, initial temperature, and vaporization temperature of propellant affect the erosive burning characteristics.

The paper includes the analytic results of pressure fluctuation data from the combustion of an oxidizer-rich preburner applicable to high-performance, closed-cycle liquid rocket engine systems. The combustion experiments went through two different steps of a chamber pressure during single run. Self-excited pressure fluctuations with a frequency of 78 Hz were observed only at the relatively low chamber pressure condition. These pressure fluctuations are regarded as a bulk mode. The intensity of pressure fluctuations by a root-mean-square value is 13.3% normalized by the chamber static pressure and no pressure excitation was observed at the design pressure condition. The bulk mode has an identical phase across the inside of the chamber and reveals the similar characteristics to the Helmholtz resonator.

This paper presents experimental results of dynamic characteristics of fuel-rich gas generators. Pressure fluctuation measurements in the chamber and manifolds have been analyzed. Gas-generator-alone tests revealed stable combustion regardless of a chamber pressure but low-frequency combustion instabilities occurred for cases of turbine-manifold tests at chamber pressure conditions below 50 bar. The instabilities are considered as an axial resonant mode and acoustic intensity increases along with a chamber pressure.

In the paper, the dynamic characteristics obtained from hot-firing tests of 1/2.5-scale thrust chamber for 75 tonf-class liquid rocket engine were described. To investigate the dynamic characteristics by engine start transient period and chamber pressure variation, hot-firing tests were performed in the chamber pressures of 30 bar and 60 bar. According to these variations, combustion stability in the combustion chamber was examined.

A linear acoustic analysis for baffled rocket combustion chambers has been developed. This study provides the comprehensive theoretical background for the baffle as one of the stabilizing devices in a liquid rocket propulsion system. Several specific effects of baffles are presented as mechanisms by which baffles eliminate instability. Included are longitudinalization of transverse waves inside baffle compartments, severe restriction of velocity fluctuations near the injector face, and decreased normal mode frequency of the chamber.
