The Actively Controlled LRE Simulator (ACLRES) Concept Testing full scale cylindrical or two dimensional LRE is very costly The acoustic environment within any section of a full scale LRE is controlled by the acoustic impedances on its boundaries For simplicity, the proposed small scale rig concept is being demonstrated on a 2-D rig that can also experience transverse instabilities The boundary impedances in the small scale rig are actively controlled by speakers Multi-disciplinary Research Program Actively controlled, 2-D, ACLRES 9/13/2012

Actively controlled LRE Simulator (ACLRES) F + Ox Products Acoustics Active control of boundary impendence capabilities Excites transverse acoustics (instabilities) Has access for optical diagnostics Injector plate may be interchanged to allow investigation of the driving by different injection systems 9/13/2012

Development of the ACLRES Active Control System The ACLRES system Acoustic model Speaker model (transfer function) Speaker test rig 9/13/2012

Preliminary Results The “Full scale” LRE tested to identify its instabilities (~170 Hz) Investigated the acoustics of the ACLRES rig (~250 Hz) The ACLRES (using one injector and combustion) was actively controlled to excite full scale LRE instabilities in the rig The “full scale” engine instabilities and the ACLRES natural acoustic modes were excited in the first test Need to “remove” the ACLRES natural modes in future tests Acoustic PSD Control Current FFT Modeling efforts show the mean flow controls the spinning instability 9/13/2012

Interest and Governing Physics Explore role of stability of nozzle-generated triple flame on LRE combustion instability Stabilization through premixed flame segment => Chemistry inherently important Prone to exhibit flamefront instability Bulk flame is still diffusion controlled Source of heat release Also prone to flamefront instability Couples to chamber acoustics 9/13/2012

Various Intrinsic and Acoustic Flamefront Instability Modes 9/13/2012

Instability Modes Analyzed Nonpremixed flame segment Rayleigh-Taylor, Kelvin-Helmholtz Acoustic-flame interaction Resonantly stabilizing but parametrically destabilizing Stability domains Landau limit Finite flame thickness 9/13/2012

High-Fidelity Modeling and Simulation of Liquid-Propellant Combustion at Supercritical Conditions Objective of Research: To develop an integrated theoretical and computational framework for treating combustion dynamics of cryogenic and hydrocarbon propellants under conditions representative of contemporary liquid rocket engines State of the Art of Research: Limited research on high-fidelity modeling and simulation of (1). turbulence-chemistry interactions at supercritical conditions; (2). supercritical combustion of hydrocarbon propellants (some progress made for cryogenic propellants); (3). swirl injector flow dynamics (only classic theories available); (4). liquid-liquid injector flame dynamics; (5). injector flow response to external forcing. Advancements of Current Research: (1). Establishment of a unified theoretical-numerical framework for treating supercritical combustion over entire fluid thermodynamic states; (2). study of swirl injector flow dynamics at supercritical conditions; (3). study of swirl injector combustion of hydrocarbons; (4). study of swirl injector flow response to acoustic excitations. 9/13/2012

Research is currently undergoing to establish this correction. ACCOMPLISHMENT 1 (1) high-fidelity, quantitative knowledge of liquid propellant combustion dynamics at practical engine operating conditions; (2) identification of key design attributes and flow conditions dictating injector behaviors; (3) reduced-base modeling for data presentation and knowledge synthesis.
