Abstract
We numerically study the dynamic behavior and driving region of spray combustion instability in a backward-facing step combustor using analytical methodologies based on dynamical systems theory, symbolic dynamics, complex networks, and machine learning. The global dynamic behavior of a heat release rate field represents low-dimensional chaotic oscillations with deterministically aperiodic intercycle dynamics. Spray combustion instability is driven in the formation and separation region of a large-scale organized vortex induced by the hydrodynamic shear layer instability at the edge of the backstep. This region corresponds fairly to that of the hub in an acoustic-energy-flux-based spatial network. The feature importance in a random forest is valid for clarifying the feedback coupling of spray combustion instability.
