Intrinsic thermoacoustic instabilities

CF Silva - Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2023 - Elsevier
It is accepted that the thermoacoustic behavior of a given combustion system can be
analyzed by investigating how its natural acoustic modes are perturbed by the flame …

Modeling and analysis of premixed flame dynamics by means of distributed time delays

W Polifke - Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2020 - Elsevier
The unsteady response of a flame to acoustic or flow perturbations plays a crucial role in
thermoacoustic combustion instability. The majority of studies on this subject presents and …

Dynamics and control of premixed combustion systems based on flame transfer and describing functions

T Schuller, T Poinsot, S Candel - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
This article describes recent progress on premixed flame dynamics interacting with acoustic
waves. Expressions are derived to determine the stability of combustors with respect to …

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 …

Thermoacoustic modes of intrinsic and acoustic origin and their interplay with exceptional points

A Orchini, CF Silva, GA Mensah, JP Moeck - Combustion and Flame, 2020 - Elsevier
We propose a general classification of all the modes of a given thermoacoustic system into
two sets: one of acoustic origin and one of intrinsic thermoacoustic (ITA) origin. To do this …

Acoustic and intrinsic thermoacoustic modes of a premixed combustor

T Emmert, S Bomberg, S Jaensch, W Polifke - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - Elsevier
Premixed flames are velocity sensitive, ie, they react to a velocity perturbation at the burner
mouth, say, with fluctuations in heat release rate. Unsteady heat release generates acoustic …

Effects of flue gas recirculation on self-excited combustion instability and NOx emission of a premixed flame

D Pan, T Zhu, C Ji, E Ke - Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, 2022 - Elsevier
Combustion instability has been a common problem accompanied with the low NO x
emission technologies for the industrial premixed burner. The effects of flue gas recirculation …

Synchronization and chimeras in a network of four ring-coupled thermoacoustic oscillators

Y Guan, K Moon, KT Kim, LKB Li - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We take a complex systems approach to investigating experimentally the collective
dynamics of a network of four self-excited thermoacoustic oscillators coupled in a ring. Using …

The contribution of intrinsic thermoacoustic feedback to combustion noise and resonances of a confined turbulent premixed flame

CF Silva, M Merk, T Komarek, W Polifke - Combustion and Flame, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract The influence of Intrinsic Thermoacoustic (ITA) feedback on the combustion noise
spectrum produced by a confined, turbulent, premixed, swirl flame is investigated. The …

Autoignition flame dynamics in sequential combustors

O Schulz, N Noiray - Combustion and Flame, 2018 - Elsevier
This numerical study investigates the linear and non-linear flame dynamics in the second
stage of a sequential combustor, with methane fuel injection into vitiated hot gas. It focuses …
