What is it about?
Flow separation in rocket nozzles has been known to cause deleterious side loads. Recent research has shown a potential link between a screech-like resonance loop and this phenomenon. This article used linear stability analysis and the weakest-link model to prove the hypothesis.

Why is it important?
The findings of this paper have left no room to doubt that a screech-like resonance loop is responsible for the side loads confirming the previously proposed hypothesis.
