CONCERNING SELF-EXCITED OSCILLATIONS IN FRONTAL COMBUSTION OF A FUEL MIXTURE IN A RESONATOR WITH LUMPED PARAMETERS V. N. Gladyshev UDC 536.46 he conditions needed to stimulate harmonic self-excited oscillations in frontal combustion of a fuel mixture in the throat or cavity of a Helmhholtz resonator are considered. It is shown that they depend on the properties of the fuel mixture and the position and orientation of the front of the flame and can be satisfied only in the presence in the zone of combustion of a surface of discontinuity of the parameters that determine the rate of combustion. It is noted that the results of analysis do not come into conflict with the facts and dependences that are observed in combustion of fuel mixtures in tunnel burners, piston carburetors, and rocket engines.
