Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the interaction of pressure-drop oscillations (PDO) and density-wave oscillations (DWO) for a typical NASA type phase change system. A transient lumped parameter model is developed for use in the analysis of the dynamics of this type of system. A compressible volume (e.g., an accumulator vessel) dynamics model was also developed and PDO/DWO interactions are investigated.
