Inclusion of higher harmonics in the flame describing function for predicting limit cycles of self-excited combustion instabilities

M Haeringer, M Merk, W Polifke - Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract The Flame Describing Function (FDF) is widely used to model non-linear thermo-
acoustic phenomena, eg limit cycle oscillations in a combustor. The FDF is a weakly non …

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 …
