Abstract
The response of the propellant burning rate to periodically varied pressure and the tangential mass flow of the combustion products is examined within the framework of the phenomenological theory of unsteady combustion. The effect of an elementary acoustic disturbance, a plane monochromatic traveling acoustic wave, is examined. The analytical and numerical results are obtained for the simplest propellant model with a minimum number of parameters. The roles of the steady and unsteady components of erosion at low and high values of the erosion ratio are established.
