Adjoint methods as design tools in thermoacoustics

L Magri - Applied Mechanics Reviews, 2019 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
In a thermoacoustic system, such as a flame in a combustor, heat release oscillations couple
with acoustic pressure oscillations. If the heat release is sufficiently in phase with the …

Formation and flame-induced suppression of the precessing vortex core in a swirl combustor: experiments and linear stability analysis

K Oberleithner, M Stöhr, SH Im, CM Arndt… - Combustion and …, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …

Self-sustained azimuthal aeroacoustic modes. Part 1. Symmetry breaking of the mean flow by spinning waves

A Faure-Beaulieu, Y Xiong, T Pedergnana… - Journal of Fluid …, 2023 - cambridge.org
In this paper, we study the aeroacoustic instability which occurs in a deep axisymmetric
cavity in a turbulent pipe flow. This phenomenon is the axisymmetric counterpart of the …

The role of strain rate, local extinction, and hydrodynamic instability on transition between attached and lifted swirl flames

Q An, AM Steinberg - Combustion and Flame, 2019 - Elsevier
The coupling between fluid strain rate, local flame extinction, hydrodynamic instability, and
flame lift-off was studied in premixed swirl flames using multi-kHz repetition-rate OH …

Flow control design inspired by linear stability analysis
