Abstract: A field of vehicles propelled by reaction, and more specifically to a method of suppressing the pogo effect in such a vehicle. A feed system for feeding a reaction engine of the vehicle includes a hydraulic accumulator enabling a selection to be made from among a plurality of predetermined operating levels, each corresponding to a different volume of gas. In the method, if a first reference criterion is not satisfied by the current level, the hydraulic accumulator is ordered to make a transition, preferably to an alternative level selected from among alternative levels for which the first reference criterion is satisfied and for which no hydraulic resonant frequency crosses any current mechanical resonant frequency during the transition.

Abstract: A rocket engine feed system, includes a feed circuit including a device for varying a gas volume in the feed circuit to suppress the POGO effect. A method of suppressing the POGO effect varies at least one hydraulic resonant frequency by varying a rate at which gas is injected into the feed circuit.

Abstract: The damping system comprises at least one resonant acoustic cavity disposed around the combustion chamber and having a shape and dimensions such that it functions simultaneously as a quarter-wave resonator and with tangential coupling the resonant acoustic cavity comprises:a) a main annular part whose half axial section has a very elongate shape with a width dimension "e" which is very small compared to its longitudinal dimension "L.sub.1 " which extends substantially parallel to the axis of symmetry of the combustion chamber, the mean radius "R" of the main annular part being close to the equivalent radius of modes of oscillation to be damped, and b) an annular coupling part which originates from the main annular part and which opens into the combustion chamber near to a longitudinal or radial pressure anti-node, the annular coupling part having a length "L.sub.2 " in a half axial section and a width dimension "h" very much less than the sum of the longitudinal dimension "L.sub.
