Abstract: Linear stability analysis is applied to a swirlstabilized combustor flow with the aim to understand how the flame shape and associated density field affects the manifestation of selfexcited flow instabilities. In isothermal ...

Abstract: Swirling jets undergoing vortex breakdown are widely used in combustion applications, due to their ability to provide aerodynamic flame stabilization. It is well known that vortex breakdown is accompanied by a dominant ...
