Excitation of acoustic modes in a chamber by vortex shedding

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

Large solid propellant rocket motors are conveniently assembled with segmented grains. The interfaces of the grains are coated with inert, slow-burning material. As the propellant burns radially during a firing, the inert material is exposed in the form of annular rings oriented normal to the axis of the chamber. The flow through a ring will produce periodic shedding of vortices over a broad range of conditions.
