Abstract:Rocket engine combustors are prone to transverse instabilities that are characterized by large amplitude high frequency oscillations in the acoustic pressure and the heat release rate. In this work, we study the coupled interaction between the acoustic pressure and the CH* intensity (representative of heat release rate) oscillations in a 2D multi-element self-excited model rocket combustor during the transition from a stable state to thermoacoustic instability through intermittency. We show the emergence of sy… Show more
