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

Dynamical systems theory has emerged as an interdisciplinary area of research to
characterize the complex dynamical transitions in real-world systems. Various nonlinear …

The unsteady physics of laminar mixed convection in a lid-driven enclosure filled with Cu–
water nanofluid is numerically investigated. The top wall moves with constant velocity or with …

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 …

In nonlinear dynamics, there are three classic routes to chaos, namely the period-doubling
route, the Ruelle–Takens–Newhouse route and the intermittency route. The first two routes …

Many gas turbine and rocket engines exhibit unwanted combustion instability at the
experimental testing phase. Instability leads to large amplitude pressure oscillations and …

Open-loop forcing is known to be an effective strategy for controlling self-excited
thermoacoustic oscillations, but the details of this synchronization process have yet to be …

We experimentally study the nonlinear dynamics of a self-excited thermoacoustic system
subjected to acoustic forcing. Our aim is to relate these dynamics to the behavior of universal …

In many combustion devices, strong self-excited flow oscillations can arise from feedback
between unsteady heat release and acoustics, resulting in increased vibration and pollutant …

We experimentally investigate the synchronization dynamics of a self-excited
thermoacoustic system forced beyond its phase-locked state. The system consists of a …
