- Abstract
- This reference book originated in the concern of a number of engineers engaged in the solution of problems of combustion instability for more effective communication between the various workers in this field. In December 1962 an ad hoc working group was formed by the JANNAF Interagency Propulsion Committee (then the Interagency Chemical Rocket Propulsion Group, ICRPG) to study the extent of combustion instability problems in liquid propellant rocket engines and to make recommendations as to their solution. This ad hoc group urged that a more permanent working group be established to promote an integrated research and technology plan, which could provide stability design criteria, and to promote a better exchange of technical information among scientists and engineers interested in combustion instability in liquid propellant rockets. The ICRPG formed a Working Group on Liquid Propellant Combustion Instability in January 1964. Beginning that year, annual conferences have been held by the Working Group. These conferences, the proceedings of which are published promptly in the form of expanded abstracts (with illustrtions), have proven to be extremely effective in enhancing the exchange of up-to-date information.
