Abstract: Thermoacoustic instability and lean blowout (LBO) are investigated experimentally in an atmospheric swirl-stabilized combustor fueled with gaseous propane. Factors affecting combustion instability are ...

Abstract: The present paper performs complementary experimental and theoretical investigations of a pump-style, high-frequency, magnetostrictive fuel actuator, which achieves fuel modulations by periodically ...

Abstract: Flame anchoring in a swirl-stabilized combustor occurs in an aerodynamically generated recirculation region which is a result of vortex breakdown (VBD). The characteristics of the recirculating ...
