An experimental study which was aimed at validating a new two-phase flow code based on the two fluid model is
first described. For this purpose, a whistling motor was designed and numerous firing tests with propellants loaded
or not with spherical alumina particles were conducted. As expected, all tests evidenced vortex shedding-driven
oscillations locked on first axial modes as well as a particulate damping. A configuration leading to the occurrence
of a sustained self-excitation phenomenon was chosen for the numerical simulations. The computations were
fulfilled without turbulence and propellant combustion models. For the single-phase simulation, excellent
agreement with experimental data is observed regarding frequency. The oscillation levels are not so well
predicted, but the fast spatial variation of the rms amplitude is nicely recovered. By contrast, large discrepancies
between experiments and simulation are found for the two-phase case. The numeric was exonerated thanks to a
simple test which consisted in studying the propagation of an acoustic wave in a two-phase medium at rest.
