Thermoacoustic instability in combustors

AS Morgans, D Yang - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Thermoacoustic instability is a flow instability that arises due to a two-way coupling between
acoustic waves and unsteady heat release rate. It can cause damaging, large-amplitude …

Adjoint methods as design tools in thermoacoustics

L Magri - Applied Mechanics Reviews, 2019 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
In a thermoacoustic system, such as a flame in a combustor, heat release oscillations couple
with acoustic pressure oscillations. If the heat release is sufficiently in phase with the …
