The potential coupling mechanism of transverse combustion instability in an O2/CH4 rectangle rocket combustor was investigated experimentally and numerically. High-frequency pressure sensors were employed to capture the dynamic pressure characteristics within the combustion chamber. Numerical simulations were conducted using the stress-blended eddy simulation (SBES) and flamelet-generated manifolds (FGM) methods. The results showed that the numerical simulation successfully predicted the transverse combustion instability observed experimentally. The numerical results, including pressure waveform, main frequency, and root mean square amplitude, were in good agreement with the experimental data and theoretical analysis. A comprehensive analysis of the driving mechanism and Rayleigh index of the transverse combustion instability was presented. Examination of the flow field characteristics in the combustion chamber revealed that the transverse pressure wave induced periodic ‘stripping’ of the oxygen jet and vortex disruption. Heat release pulses were generated during vortex fuel combustion and coupled with the first width (1W) mode. Rayleigh index analysis indicated that edge injectors exhibited stronger driving characteristics for transverse combustion instability compared with central injectors.
