About this title

Synopsis

Since the invention of the V-2 rocket during World War II, combustion instabilities have been recognized as one of the most difficult problems in the development of liquid propellant rocket engines. This book is the first published in the United States on the subject since NASA's Liquid Rocket Combustion Instability (NASA SP-194) in 1972. Improved computational and experimental techniques, coupled with a number of experiences with full-scale engines worldwide, have offered opportunities for advancement of the state of the art. In this book, experts cover four major subject areas: engine phenomenology and case studies, fundamental mechanisms of combustion instability, combustion instability analysis, and engine and component testing. Especially noteworthy is the inclusion of technical information from Russia and China-a first. Engineers and scientists in propulsion, power generation, and combustion instability will find the 20 chapters valuable as an extension of prior work and as a reference.
