Thermoacoustic oscillations associated with transverse acoustic modes are routinely
encountered in combustion chambers. While a large literature on this topic exists for rockets …

This paper reviews current understanding of the manner in which non-premixed jet flames
respond to flow disturbances, and compares these characteristics to premixed flames …

Recently, there has been a growing interest in understanding and characterising intermittent
burst oscillations that presage the onset of combustion instability. We construct a …

This paper addresses the mechanisms through which transverse acoustic oscillations excite
unsteady heat release. Forced and self-excited transverse acoustic instability studies to date …

This study investigates the consequences of flame geometry for the linear response of
laminar premixed flames to acoustic perturbations, as expressed by the flame transfer …

This article describes measurements of the response of bluff-body stabilized flames
subjected to transverse acoustic waves. It is the first of a two-article series. The objective of …

Flames in high swirl flow fields with vortex breakdown often stabilize aerodynamically in
front of interior flow stagnation points. In contrast to shear layer stabilized flames with a …

This paper analyzes the dynamics of harmonically forced, non-premixed flames, both
experimentally and computationally. Prior theory has made a number of predictions on how …

This paper describes measurements and modeling of the response of a swirling, lifted flame
to transverse flow excitation. The problem is motivated by combustion instabilities …

This article analyzes the response of a turbulent, premixed flame to harmonic forcing. This
problem has been worked extensively for laminar flames, and the key parameters …
