The Stability of One-Dimensional Motions in a Rocket Motor

Abstract

The problem of linearized one-dimensional motions in a non-uniform flow field is re-examined. Earlier work is clarified, and some assumptions previously used are relaxed. The formalism accommodates all processes occurring in combustion chambers, including sources of mass, momentum, and energy at the lateral boundary. The work is intended partly to provide some results required for subsequent analyses of linear and nonlinear three-dimensional unsteady motions.
