Ignition in annular multi-burner combustors is marked by a succession of four phases,
ending with a characteristic flame expansion from burner to burner, often referred to as light …

The main objective of this paper is to assess the capability of compressible Large Eddy
Simulations (LES) to capture azimuthal combustion instability. The thickened flame model …

This study investigates differences in flame dynamics during the ignition of a premixed
burner powered by lean CH 4/air and H 2/air mixtures with time-resolved OH-PLIF and PIV …

The use of hydrogen and ammonia in gas turbines, either alone or blended with natural gas,
poses various technical challenges for combustion systems, including ignition. Depending …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of strong azimuthal swirl on ignition dynamics in a
laboratory-scale annular combustor. Bulk azimuthal swirl was produced by a novel angled …

Successful relight of aero-engine combustors is subjected to certification specifications and
must be ensured under various scenarios which can involve substantially different …

Self-excited combustion instability in an annular combustor with low-swirl flames is studied
with a combination of large eddy simulation (LES) and acoustic solvers. Acoustic analysis …

This work combines time-resolved PIV and OH-PLIF to analyze the flame dynamics, from
kernel initiation to flame stabilization. Ignition experiments are conducted for increasing …
