Abstract
The research conducted towards designing a new and reliable ignition method for rocket engines has influenced over the years the design of rocket combustion chambers. This thesis paper has the purpose of simulating the phenomena related to resonance heating processes, by means of an experimental facility designed to conduct tests and looking for the best setup in order to reproduce the resonance ignition phenomenon. \\ A resonance igniter takes advantage of a gasdynamic phenomena called resonance heating which occurs inside it, heating up the propellant beyond its auto-ignition temperature. This ignition method has increased its importance in rocket engines field due to its reliability, its relative simplicity of construction.
The main features of the facility are based both on previous studies conducted by TUM (Technische Universit\"at of M\"unchen) and experimental tests carried out during the present work
