Abstract: Fluctuations in the heat release rate that occur during unstable combustion in leanpremixed gas turbine combustors can be attributed to velocity and equivalence ratio fluctuations. For a fully premixed flame, velocity ...

Abstract: The effect of flame–wall interactions on the forced response of a leanpremixed, swirlstabilized flame is experimentally investigated by examining flames in a series of three combustors, each with a different diameter, ...

Abstract: The effect of confinement (flame–wall interactions) on the response of a turbulent, swirl-stabilized flame is experimentally examined, with a focus on the shape and structure of these flames. A series of three cylindrical ...
