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 …

In many continuous combustion processes the flame is stabilized by swirling the injected
flow. This is the case for example in aeroengine combustors or in gas turbines where …

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 …

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

The interaction of a helical mode with acoustic oscillations is studied experimentally in a
turbulent swirl-stabilized premixed flame. In addition to a precessing vortex core (PVC), the …

Swirling flame dynamics is investigated using a radial swirler equipped with movable
blades. This device allows to continuously change the swirl number and to examine various …

This work investigates the response of the vortex breakdown region of a swirling, annular jet
to transverse acoustic excitation for both non-reacting and reacting flows. This swirling flow …

The dynamics of major flow structures were studied in a gas turbine model combustor for
perfectly premixed swirl-stabilized flames under a variety of reacting and non-reacting …

Limit-cycle thermo-acoustic velocity coupling mechanisms are studied in a perfectly-
premixed swirl-stabilized combustor using data from 10 kHz repetition-rate stereoscopic …

COMBUSTION-DRIVEN pressure and heat-release oscilla-tions, or thermoacoustic
instabilities, are a major problem in low-emission gas-turbine engines [1–4]. These …
