Understanding Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in paraffin-based hybrid rocket fuels [PDF]
Experiments in Fluids, 2018 Liquefying fuels show higher regression rates than the classical polymeric ones. They are able to form, along their burning surface, a low viscosity and surface tension liquid layer, which can become unstable (Kelvin–Helmholtz instability) due to the high velocity gas flow in the fuel port.
