Abstract
The effects of the burnt-to-unburnt temperature ratio (Tb/Tu) (reciprocal density ratio) on thermoacoustic combustion instability were investigated in a hydrogen-rich ram combustor by controlling the inlet air temperature under cruising conditions. Steady and unsteady combustion dynamics were investigated with the simultaneous measurement of combustion pressure and near-infrared (NIR) emissions. Time-resolved NIR images were analyzed using dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to extract modes of the combustion instability, which show two oscillation modes: longitudinal (500 Hz) and flame-vortex interaction modes (2000 Hz) with a Strouhal number of approximately 0.5. The thermoacoustic combustion instability was not excited at Tb/Tu = 3.3, but was excited at Tb/Tu= 2.6 and 2.9. The DMD modes show that the structure of the vortex mode is similar to that of the fourth longitudinal mode at Tb/Tu = 2.6 and 2.9, indicating that the coupling of the vortex and the fourth longitudinal modes excited the thermoacoustic combustion instability.
