Self sustained oscillations in Solid Propellant Rocket Motors result from an aeroacoustic phenomenon involving interaction between vortex shedding and acoustics of the chamber. An experimental investigation has been carried out with a cold gas apparatus for acoustic oscillations sustained by vortex shedding. Furthermore, Fluid-Structure interactions have been shown to be of importance when studying pressure oscillations inside Solid Propellant Rocket Motors. Numerical results are compared to preliminary tests undertaken with the use of a non-intrusive measurement technique allowing both displacement and frequency measurements of flexible inhibitors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
