We report the design and operation of a test device suitable for studying combustion
oscillations produced by commercial-scale gas turbine fuel nozzles. Unlike conventional test …

The use of premix combustion in stationary gas turbines can produce very low levels of NOx
emissions. This benefit is widely recognized, but turbine developers routinely encounter …

In the world of gas turbine combustion there is always the spectre of thermo-acoustic
instability. Over the past few decades there has been significant effort afforded to …

The use of premix combustion in stationary gas turbines can produce very low levels of Nox
emissions. This benefit is widely recognized, but turbine developers routinely encounter …

This thesis describes an experimental investigation of the flame transfer function between
flow disturbances and heat release oscillations in lean, premixed combustors. This research …

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 …

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the response of the flame in a lean,
premixed combustor to imposed acoustic oscillations. It presents further analysis and …

Combustion-generated pollutants, in particular NOX and carbonaceous soot, may be
significantly reduced by use of lean-burning combustion systems in gas-turbine engines …

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

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