Characterization and Modeling of a Spinning Thermoacoustic Instability in an Annular Combustor Equipped With Multiple Matrix Injectors

Abstract: Oscillations in fully annular systems coupled by azimuthal modes are often observed in gas turbine combustors but not well documented. One objective of the present study is to characterize this type of oscillation in a laboratory scale system, allowing detailed pressure measurements and high speed visualization of the flame motion. The experiment is designed to allow detailed investigations of this process at a stable limit cycle and for an extended period of time. Experiments reported in the present article a… Show more

“…The example is the first analytical study of an annular combustor capable of exhibiting thermoacoustic triggering, and shows that flames responding with a weak gain at small amplitudes and with a strong gain at large amplitudes can lead to self-excited stable standing and spinning solutions in annular configurations. Finally we validate in § 5 this theory for the experiment of Bourgouin et al (2015) and draw the conclusions in § 6.…”

“…As exemplified in § 4, the model captures the effect of the nonlinear saturation of the flame response on the amplitudes and stability of the solutions. We predict in this section the stability of standing and spinning solutions for the experimental work of Bourgouin et al (2015). This is the only published experimental paper on azimuthal instabilities in rotationally symmetric combustors that makes available the nonlinear saturation of the flame.…”
