This paper presents bifurcation analyses characterising the nonlinear dynamics of fully
developed laminar annular jets with respect to the centrebody diameter is increased …

The transient dynamics of the precessing vortex core (PVC), a globally unstable mode, in an
intermittently shape-transitioning swirl flame is investigated by means of simultaneous OH …

Modern low-emissions gas turbine combustors commonly employ a twin annular swirling
flow configuration that consists of a central annular inner jet and a surrounding annular outer …

We explore experimentally whether axisymmetry breaking can be exploited for the open-
loop control of a prototypical hydrodynamic oscillator, namely a low-density inertial jet …

Instantaneous unburnt and preheating zones of bluff-body stabilized turbulent premixed
flames under transverse acoustic excitations were investigated using simultaneous planar …

We investigate self-excited axisymmetric oscillations of a lean premixed methane--air V-
flame in a laminar annular jet. The flame is anchored near the rim of the centrebody, forming …

The thesis aims to apply recent developments of methodology from the field of linear
instability theory to the study of combustion instability. The flame instability here refers to the …

High-frequency transverse instabilities are an important concern in can combustor
configurations. In these configurations which are typically operated with multiple injectors …
