Nonlinear self-excited thermoacoustic oscillations of a ducted premixed flame: bifurcations and routes to chaos

K Kashinath, IC Waugh, MP Juniper - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
Thermoacoustic systems can oscillate self-excitedly, and often non-periodically, owing to
coupling between unsteady heat release and acoustic waves. We study a slot-stabilized two …

Intrinsic thermoacoustic instability of premixed flames

T Emmert, S Bomberg, W Polifke - Combustion and Flame, 2015 - Elsevier

Flame-acoustic interactions are witnessed in the context of combustion instability in gas
turbine combustors and other propulsion devices, such as rockets, besides confined …

[HTML][HTML] Predicting thermoacoustic stability characteristics of longitudinal combustors using different endpoint conditions with a low Mach number flow

X Zhao, D Zhao, L Cheng, CM Shelton, J Majdalani - Physics of fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Combustion instability frequently occurs in propulsion and power generation systems. It is
characterized by large-amplitude acoustic oscillations leading to undesirable …

Nonlinear thermoacoustics of ducted premixed flames: the influence of perturbation convection speed

K Kashinath, S Hemchandra, MP Juniper - Combustion and Flame, 2013 - Elsevier
When a premixed flame is placed within a duct, acoustic waves induce velocity perturbations
at the flame's base. These travel down the flame, distorting its surface and modulating its …

Stability, sensitivity and optimisation of chaotic acoustic oscillations

F Huhn, L Magri - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
In an acoustic cavity with a heat source, such as a flame in a gas turbine, the thermal energy
of the heat source can be converted into acoustic energy, which may generate a loud …

Novel perspectives on the dynamics of premixed flames

RS Blumenthal, P Subramanian, RI Sujith… - Combustion and flame, 2013 - Elsevier
The present study develops an alternative perspective on the response of premixed flames
to flow perturbations. In particular, the linear response of laminar premixed flames to velocity …

Non-normality and nonlinearity in thermoacoustic instabilities

RI Sujith, MP Juniper… - International Journal of …, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
Analysis of thermoacoustic instabilities were dominated by modal (eigenvalue) analysis for
many decades. Recent progress in nonmodal stability analysis allows us to study the …
