Abstract

Acoustic response and stability of swirl burners operating in lean conditions is of great interest considering the stricter emission regulations. Lean operating modes exhibit a heightened sensitivity to thermoacoustic instability. This paper is aimed at understanding the natural acoustic characteristic of a prefilming Airblast atomizer operating at pressurized conditions. The presence of a helical precessing vortex core and its corresponding frequency as well as the natural fluctuations in the turbulent reactive flow is simulated using a large eddy simulation approach. Proper orthogonal decomposition is used to extract the prominent flow structures and infer their associated time dynamics within the swirl burner. This analysis is performed in absence of any external forcing to the system and can provide some insight into the stable operating modes of the swirl atomizer.
