Application of the Galerkin Method in the Design of Stable Liquid Rocket MotorsA brief description of results obtained in the continuing investigations is presented. The following areas are covered: (1) the development of the third-order, multimode theory to study the behavior of large amplitude transverse instabilities, (2) nonlinear axial mode instability, and (3) the influence of the functional form of the unsteady combustion response function upon the stability characteristics of rocket motors. Also a study was begun to improve the second order potential theory in order to provide a better approximation to the nozzle boundary condition.
