“…The experimental observations were supported by analytical representation based on a network model using acoustic transfer matrices leading to an instability criterion. Indications on the notable influence of the injection parameters are also derived from recent experiments on annular combustors, which are reviewed in [18]. The potential of using low-order models in representing complicated swirler geometries was explored, for instance, by Fischer et al [19] using transfer matrices that were experimentally validated under cold flow conditions in a combustor with a variable swirl number.…”
