Sensors are perhaps the most important and integral components of our modern society.
With global warming and environmental pollution garnering ever-increasing attention, as …

Swirling flows are of considerable practical importance. They are used for example to
increase heat transfer in pipes or to stabilize flames at a distance from the injector unit by …

This paper presents recent progress in the field of thermoacoustic combustion instabilities in
propulsion engines such as rockets or gas turbines. Combustion instabilities have been …

In many continuous combustion processes, such as those found in aeroengines or gas
turbines, the flame is stabilized by a swirling flow formed by aerodynamic swirlers. The …

It has been predicted that several changes will occur when premixed flames are subjected to
the extreme levels of turbulence that can be found in practical combustors. This paper is a …

The precessing vortex core (PVC) is a coherent flow structure that is often encountered in
swirling flows in gas turbine (GT) combustors. In some swirl combustors, it has been …

The interaction of a helical precessing vortex core (PVC) with turbulent swirl flames in a gas
turbine model combustor is studied experimentally. The combustor is operated with air and …

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 …

Thermoacoustic combustion instability is one of the most challenging operational issues in
several high-performance, low-emissions combustion technologies, including gas turbines …

The heat release distribution, combustion instability characteristics and flow dynamics of
lean swirl-stabilized flames of hydrogen enriched natural gas were studied using time …
