Abstract

We experimentally clarify the interaction of acoustic pressure and heat release rate fluctuations during a transition to high-frequency combustion instability in a model rocket engine combustor. The dynamical state of acoustic pressure fluctuations undergoes a transition from high-dimensional chaotic oscillations to strongly correlated limit cycle oscillations. The coherent structure in the heat release rate field emerges with the initiation of weakly correlated limit cycle oscillations. The effect of the heat release rate on acoustic pressure fluctuations predominates during high-dimensional chaotic oscillations. In contrast, the effect of acoustic pressure on the heat release rate fluctuations markedly increases during the correlated limit cycle oscillations. These are reasonably shown by an ordinal pattern-based analysis involving the concepts of information theory, synchronization, and complex networks.
