Nonlinear axial combustion instability occurs when one or more strong gaseous compression waves propagate longitudinally within motor; nonlinear unsteady flow field derives energy through interaction with combustion process and causes increase in time-averaged burning rate, pressure, and thrust; behavior was investigated using polyurethane-ammonium perchlorate propellants and some 200 motors; reproducible results were obtained; motors were found to be linearly stable and nonlinearly unstable with respect to initiation of instability.
