Based on the URANS equation, a numerical simulation is carried out for acoustic properties of the thruster chamber with coaxial injectors and plenum chamber in a liquid rocket engine. Pressure oscillations with multiacoustic modes are successfully excited in the chamber by using the constant volume bomb method. FFT analysis is applied to obtain the acoustic properties of eigenfrequencies, power amplitudes, and damping rates for each excited acoustic mode. Compared with the acoustic properties in the model chamber with and without an injector as well as with and without the plenum chamber, it can be found that the injector with one open end and one half-open end still can work as a quarter-wave resonator. The power amplitudes of the acoustic mode can be suppressed significantly when its eigenfrequency is close to the tuning frequency of the injector, which is achieved by Cutting down the pressure Peak and Raising up the pressure Trough (CPRT). Compared with the acoustic properties in the model chamber with and without the plenum chamber, it can be found that 1L acoustic pressure oscillation is inhibited completely by the plenum chamber and other acoustic pressure oscillations are also suppressed in a different extent. The injector and plenum chamber have a little effect on the eigenfrequencies and damping rate of each acoustic mode. For multimode pressure oscillation, it is better for tuning frequency of the injector closing to the lower eigenfrequency acoustic mode, which will be effective for suppression of these multiacoustic modes simultaneously.

This paper presents a global hydrodynamic stability analysis of flow fields in a backward facing step combustor, assuming weakly non-parallel flow. The baseline experiments in a ‘long’ combustor of length of 5.0 m shows the presence of two combustion instability states characterized by coherent low and high amplitude acoustic pressure oscillations. The analysis is performed for Propane-air mixtures at three values of ϕ = 0.63, 0.72 and 0.85 which correspond to quiet, low amplitude and high amplitude instability states in the long combustor experiments. Base flow velocity and density fields for the hydrodynamic stability analysis are determined from time averaged PIV measurements made after the length of the duct downstream of the step has been shortened to eliminate acoustic pressure oscillations. The analysis shows that the shear layer mode is self-excited for the ϕ = 0.72 case with an oscillation frequency close to that of the long combustor’s fundamental acoustic mode. We show from an analysis of the weakly forced, variable density Navier-Stokes equations that self-excited hydrodynamic modes can be weakly receptive to forcing — suggesting that the low amplitude instability in the long combustor is due to semi-open loop forcing of heat release oscillations by the shear layer mode. At ϕ = 0.85 the flow is hydrodynamically globally stable but locally convectively unstable. Spatial amplification of velocity disturbances by the convectively unstable flow causes high amplitude combustion instability in the long combustor case. These results show that combustion instability can be sustained by acoustic and hydrodynamic modes being either strongly coupled, resulting in fully closed loop forcing, or weakly coupled, resulting in semi-open loop forcing of the flame by a self-excited hydrodynamic mode.

The energy transfer from the heat release of the combustion to the acoustic pressure oscillations is the driving element of combustion instabilities. This energy transfer is described by the Rayleigh criterion and depends on the phase shift between the pressure and heat release rate oscillations. A research rocket engine combustor, operated with the propellant combination hydrogen/oxygen, was equipped with dynamic pressure sensors and fibre optical probes to measure the flame radiation. This setup has been used for a phase shift analysis study which showed that unstable operation is characterized by a phase shift leading to an energy transfer from the heat release to the acoustic pressure oscillations.

Abstract Different fuel properties and chemical kinetics of two different fuels would make it challenging to predict the combustion parameters of a binary fuel. Understanding the effect of blending methane and hydrogen gas is the main focus of this paper. Utilizing a horizontal tube combustion rig, methane-hydrogen fuel blends were created using blending laws from past literature, over a range of equivalence ratios from 0.6 – 1.2 were studied, while keeping one combustion parameter constant, the theoretical laminar burning velocity. The selected theoretical laminar burning velocity for all the mixtures tested were kept constant at 0.6 ms−1. Different factors affected the flame propagation across the tube, including acoustic pressure oscillations, heat loss from the rig, and obvious difference in hydrogen percentage in the fuel blends. The average experimental laminar burning velocity of all the flames was 0.368 ms−1, compared to the expected value of 0.6 ms−1. In an attempt to keep the theoretical laminar burning velocity constant for different mixtures, it was discovered that this did not promise the same flame propagation behaviour for the tested mixtures. Further experimentation and analysis are required in order to better understand the underlying interaction of the fuel blends.

The acoustodynamics of finite elastic cylinders is examined both experimentally and theoretically to investigate the sources of noise generation associated with longitudinal, collinear impact. Analytical predictions are based on the assumption that the acoustic radiation is predominately derived from the acceleration response of the free, plane-end surfaces of the colliding bodies and consists of rigid-body deceleration and vibration “ringing” components. Those predictions are in excellent agreement with structural acceleration and acoustic pressure measurements obtained experimentally from two separate cylinder impact configurations, except for the presence of a single dominant noise pattern originating from the proximity of the impact surfaces. This unexpected noise consists of damped pressure oscillations at a frequency unrelated to any natural frequencies of the test apparatus. Its source can be traced to the injection of air into the region between the impact surfaces just following impact separation.
