The main requirements for LRE gas generators are high stability of operation, ease of workflow management, as well as high efficiency of the generator gas. A particularly difficult task is to ensure the sustainability of the workflow. In addition to the probability of transverse vibrations in the in-chamber volume, due to the presence of additional volumes of various configurations and lengths attached to the reaction chamber, acoustic vibrations of complex longitudinal modes may occur. Most of the existing methods of testing a gas generator are criterion-empirical in nature and are based on the processing of experimental results, which does not always provide the required accuracy of calculating dynamic and thermal characteristics. The need for experimental and theoretical refinement of the calculation methods of thermodynamic processes of gas generators is an urgent task that will significantly reduce the material and time costs for preliminary design, testing and fine-tuning of modern models of engines and power plants of aircraft. Therefore, the calculation and analysis of the LRE gas generator is an important stage in the design and development of modern engine designs. Using the finite element method of the SOLID WORKS software package, a model of a two-zone gas generator for supercharging fuel tanks of the LRE was built. A study was conducted on modeling the workflow in a gas generator, visualization of thermodynamic processes in the product was built, numerical characteristics were obtained. The method of autonomous bench (firing) tests of fuel tank supercharger gas generators, the method of verification of numerical methods are considered.
