Large-Eddy Simulations of a sub-scale liquid rocket combustor: influence of fuel injection temperature on thermo-acoustic stability
Résumé
The present work aims at the prediction of high frequency combustion instabilities in cryogenic rocket engines using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The sub-scale rocket combustor BKD from DLR has 42 coaxial injectors fed with liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen operating at conditions representative of full-scale engines. The combustor is found to be stable for low hydrogen injection temperatures and unstable for higher ones. The LES solver is first validated on the Mascotte test-bench from ONERA. Two BKD cases are then simulated, corresponding to naturally stable and unstable regimes in the experiment. The recent progresses and results are described and analyzed.
