o The propagation velocity vD, the density 2, and the pressure p2 in the
burnt gas can be calculated according to the theory of Chapman-Jouguet
where p1 and 1 are the pressure and density in the unburnt gas, q specific
heat of reaction and , ratio of the heat capacities at constant pressure
and volume
1: upstream condition
2: end of the leading shock
(immediately following the
shock front)
2: CJ point (end of
combustion zone)

Injector face destroyed by combustion instability
Combustion Instability
Undesired, instable combustion of sudden or periodic nature
o Combustion, turbulence, flow separation and other
fluid mechanical processes can produce
disturbances/oscillations in pressure, temperature,
velocity and species concentration
o The various sources of instabilities include: unsteady
strain rate, flame/vortex interactions, acoustic/flame
coupling, interactions of perturbed flame with
boundaries, flame response to incident composition
inhomogeneities
o These oscillations can grow with time to form limit
cycle oscillations with large amplitude
o The growth of oscillations due to interaction of the
disturbance with the combustion process is generally
termed as combustion instability
