Abstract

The combustion instability in a model dump combustor with an exhaust nozzle and the possibility of combustion control using a loudspeaker to these instabilities were studied. By changing inlet velocity, combustor length and equivalence ratio, dynamic pressure signals and flame structures were simultaneously taken. Because inlet velocity and combustor length affect the life time of vortex in the dump combustor, the results showed that as the combustor length increased and the inlet velocity decreased, the instability frequency decreased and the maximum power spectral density of the dynamic pressure generally decreased. Also, instability frequency and maximum power spectral density of the dynamic pressure increased with the increment of equivalence ratio. From the data of close-loop control, the optimum time-delay control using a loudspeaker was confirmed to be able to reduce the vortex shedding induced from the mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability.
