Stability of Three-Dimensional Motions in a Combustion Chamber

Abstract

The problem oflinearized three-dimensional motions in a non-uniform flowfield is re-examined. Several modifications of the general analysis are effected: The influence of particulate matter is acounted for, to zeroth order, and certain boundary processes treated in earher one-dimensional computations are incorporated in an analysis applicable to any geometry. All processes occurring in combustion chambers are accommodated. As a specific example, the results are applied to a problem of linear stability in solid propellant rocket motors.
