Research summary

Rohan Gejji studies combustion in rocket engines and related propulsion systems, focusing on how flames and pressure waves interact to cause unstable, self-sustaining vibrations called thermoacoustic instabilities. This work uses experimental rocket combustor test rigs, including laser-based ignition methods, to understand and ultimately help prevent these damaging instabilities in engine design. The research combines detailed experiments with analysis of unsteady flame behavior and acoustics.
