This paper describes an experimental investigation of the response of the flame in a lean,
premixed combustor to imposed acoustic oscillations. The ultimate objective of this work is to …

Background Combustion oscillations have become an issue of increasing prevalence as
emissions targets are lowered. These low emissions levels are achieved by reducing the …

The thermoacoustic response of an industrial-scale gas turbine combustor to fuel flow
perturbations is examined. Experimental measurements in a laboratory combustor along …

THERMOACOUSTIC instabilities pose a significant problem to the reliability and operability
of gas turbine combustor performance. This phenomenon is characterized by oscillations in …

This paper presents the experimental approach for determination and validation of
noncompact flame transfer functions of high-frequency, transverse combustion instabilities …

Lean premixed combustors, such as those used in industrial gas turbines to achieve low
emissions, are often susceptible to thermoacoustic combustion instabilities, which manifest …

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the response of the flame in a lean,
