Combustion instability has long been recognized as one of the most
important but difficult problems in the development of propulsion
systems. The U.S. and the former Soviet Union were simultaneously
working during the Cold War to solve the instability problem.
However, the scientific basis and engineering approach employed by
the Soviets remained largely unknown to the Western world. This
bookómuch of it formerly classified material--is a clear exposition
of much of the theoretical work on combustion instabilities,
performed in support of the Soviet liquid rocket program during its
most vigorous period. While there are similarities between Western
and Eastern works, there are many distinct differences. The author
was one of the small group of Soviet theorists actively engaged in
all of the Soviet liquid rocket programs. His development of the
field is firmly grounded in fundamental ideas, and progresses to
applications of a general sort. A chapter added since the original
Russian edition covers both theory and experiment for bifurcations
of dynamical behavior in liquid rocket chambers. The book was
written by Professor M.S. Natanzon in Russia and edited by
Professor F.E.C. Culick of Caltech, two internationally renowned
experts in the field.
