Abstract
In gas turbines, aero-engines and rocket engines, flames are always disturbed by perturbations of dual or multiple harmonic frequencies, resulting in corresponding combustion instability. This paper analyses the nonlinear response of laminar premixed flames to dual-input harmonic disturbances to further understand those associated combustion instability. Nonlinear results of flame dynamics were derived from analytical and numerical solutions of the G-equation. The spatial front-tracking of premixed flames was obtained, where types of nonlinear behaviors were classified and related mechanisms of that were elucidated. A dual-input flame description function (DIFDF) was proposed to separately determine global nonlinearities of flame responses of fundamental and higher harmonics frequencies under dual-input disturbances. The fundamental frequency response consists of linear and nonlinear components, and the higher harmonic frequency one is purely nonlinear. The DIFDF properties of conical and "V" flames were compared, with particular emphasis on their differences in nonlinear behavior. The spatial and global effects of the second input frequency on the flame kinematics perturbed by the first frequency were also clarified. Furthermore, the roles of perturbation amplitude and flame height in spatial flame dynamics and DIFDF were quantified.
