Swirl combustion, whether of gaseous fuels or sprays, forms the basis of many thermal
power generation systems and to effective design and optimisation of these complex …

The dynamic transition from combustion noise to combustion instability was investigated
experimentally in two laboratory-scale turbulent combustors (namely, swirl-stabilized and …

Thermoacoustic instability in turbulent combustors is a nonlinear phenomenon resulting
from the interaction between acoustics, hydrodynamics, and the unsteady flame. Over the …

Thermoacoustic instability, also known as combustion instability, continues to be a problem
in the development of modern gas turbine combustors and rocket engines. Such instability is …

Sudden changes of flame shape are an undesired, yet poorly understood feature of swirl
combustors used in gas turbines. The present work studies flame shape transition …

Colorless distributed combustion (CDC) is a novel method for efficient and environmentally
benign cleaner energy conversion of fossil and biofuels. CDC has been investigated in …

Limit-cycle thermo-acoustic velocity coupling mechanisms are studied in a perfectly-
premixed swirl-stabilized combustor using data from 10 kHz repetition-rate stereoscopic …

This paper describes implementation of simultaneous, high speed (5 kHz) stereo PIV, OH
and fuel-PLIF in a pressurized, liquid fueled, swirl stabilized flame. The experiments were …

A gas turbine model combustor for partially premixed swirl flames was equipped with an
optical combustion chamber and operated with CH 4 and air at atmospheric pressure. The …

The acoustic signal and heat release fluctuations are examined from a swirl combustor
using methane as the fuel. The focus was on flame stability and noise emission that have …
