Abstract: State-of-the-art afterburners employ spray bars and flameholders to burn the fuel. Such afterburner designs significantly increase the length (and thus weight), pressure losses, and observability ...

Abstract: Described are sub-scale tests that successfully demonstrate active feedback control as a means of suppressing damaging combustion oscillations in natural-gas-fueled, lean-premix combustors. The control ...

Abstract: A stability measure rooted in the unsteady characteristics of the flow field over the compressor rotor has been previously developed. The present work explores the relationship between the ...
