Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is an apparatus. The apparatus comprises an injector coupled to a head portion of a combustion chamber, the injector comprising a plurality of injector elements distributed away from an inner annulus and in an outer annulus. A geometry of combustion chamber comprises a body portion, an optional shoulder portion, and a throat portion. An inner wall of combustion chamber converges radially inward towards the throat. The plurality of injector elements in combination with the geometry of the combustion chamber are configured to confine a predetermined percentage of mass flow associated with combustion to a predetermined outer annulus of the chamber.
