  2. Pogo oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo_oscillation

    Pogo oscillation is a self-excited vibration in liquid-propellant rocket engines caused by combustion instability. [1] The unstable combustion results in variations of engine thrust, causing variations of acceleration on the vehicle's flexible structure, which in turn cause variations in propellant pressure and flow rate, closing the self-excitation cycle.
