Acoustic Analysis of Gas Turbine Combustors
Ann P. Dowling,Simon R. Stow +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified combustion system, from compressor outlet to turbine inlet, is modeled as a one-dimensional mean with linear perturbations, which leads to predictions for the frequencies of oscillations and the susceptibility to instabilities for which linear disturbances grow expotentially in time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of the nonlinear response of turbulent premixed flames to imposed inlet velocity oscillations
Ramanarayanan Balachandran,B.O. Ayoola,Clemens F. Kaminski,Ann P. Dowling,Epaminondas Mastorakos +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation of acoustically forced lean premixed turbulent bluff-body-stabilised flames in an enclosure short enough so that no coupling of the combustor downstream acoustics occurred for the frequencies studied here, which allows an unambiguous examination of the flame response to inlet velocity fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear self-excited oscillations of a ducted flame
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for nonlinear oscillations of a confined flame burning in the wake of a bluff-body flameholder is developed, exploiting the fact that the main nonlinearity is in the heat release rate, which essentially saturates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The calculation of thermoacoustic oscillations
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple geometry is investigated systematically to determine the importance of various flow parameters on the frequency of the oscillations, and it is shown that the form of the coupling between the heat input and the unsteady flow has a crucial effect on the oscillation frequency.
