NASA/SP-8113, NASA SPACE VEHICLE DESIGN CRITERIA (CHEMICAL): LIQUID ROCKET ENGINE COMBUSTION STABILIZATION DEVICES (NOV-1974)

NASA/SP-8113, NASA SPACE VEHICLE DESIGN CRITERIA (CHEMICAL): LIQUID ROCKET ENGINE COMBUSTION STABILIZATION DEVICES (NOV-1974)., Combustion instability, which results from a coupling of the combustion process and the fluid dynamics of the engine system, was investigated. The design of devices which reduce coupling (combustion chamber baffles) and devices which increase damping (acoustic absorbers) are described. Included in the discussion are design criteria and recommended practices, structural and mechanical design, thermal control, baffle geometry, baffle/engine interactions, acoustic damping analysis, and absorber configurations.
