title = "Analysis of intrinsic flamefront instabilities in response to external acoustic forcing",
abstract = "The response of premixed and diffusion flames to externally applied acoustic forcing was analyzed for its relevance to the excitation of unstable combustion in liquid rocket engines (LREs). Recognizing that combustion instability can be manifested in several modes, analyses were conducted for the diffusional-thermal, Darrieus-Landau, and Rayleigh-Taylor (body-force) instabilities for premixed flames, and the Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities for diffusion flames. The role of chamber-generated sound in modifying the inherent flamefront instabilities and triggering the parametric instability was considered. The dependence of the stability domains on the various thermal-chemical flame properties as well as hydrodynamic parameters were determined.",
