Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic instabilities remain a key design concern faced in the development of liquid rocket engines. The interaction between the acoustic modes and the occurring combustion reactions can be detrimental to the engine. The fluctuating pressure waves resulting from the flame oscillations in the system can potentially lead to engine failure. For this reason, research in acoustic instabilities and methods to minimize the influences on the engine, has maintain interest in the aerospace community. The scope of this study was to design, optimize and characterize acoustic behaviors of a scaled rocket combustion chamber simulating acoustic pressure waves. Tangential and longitudinal acoustic waves of the system were extracted and validated through analytical and computational fluids dynamics models. The results of this study will assist with the process of extracting dominant oscillation frequencies of a system essential in the design of acoustic suppression devices for attenuation of critical frequencies.
