Self-oscillations of an unstable fuel combustion in the combustion chamber of a liquid-propellant rocket engine

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The form of the self-oscillations of a vibrating combustion of a fuel in the combustion chamber of a liquidpropellant rocket engine, caused by the fuel-combustion lag and the heat release, was determined. The character of change in these self-oscillations with increase in the time of the fuel-combustion lag was investigated.
