| Popis: | The combustion instability is investigated computationally for a ten-injector rocket engine using the compressible flamelet progress variable (FPV) model and detached eddy simulation (DES). An C++ code is developed based on OpenFOAM 4.1 to apply the combustion model. Flamelet tables are generated for methane/oxygen combustion at the background pressure of 200 bar using a 12-species chemical mechanism. The flames at this high pressure level are found having similar structures as those at much lower pressures. A power law is determined to rescale the reaction rate for the progress variable to address the pressure effect. The combustion is also simulated by the one-step-kinetics (OSK) model for comparison with the FPV model. Premixed and diffusion flames are identified locally for both the FPV and OSK models. Study of combustion instability shows that a combined first longitudinal and first tangential mode of 3200 Hz is dominant for the FPV model while the OSK model favors a pure first tangential mode of 2600 Hz. The coupling among pressure oscillation, unsteady transverse flow and helicity fluctuation is discussed. A preliminary study of the resonance in the injectors, which is driven by the acoustic oscillation in the combustion chamber, is also presented.
