    Abstract

    Combustion instability studies require the identification of the combustion chamber response. In non-premixed devices, the combustion processes are influenced by oscillations of the air flow rate but may also be sensitive to fluctuations of the fuel flow rate entering the chamber. This paper describes a numerical study of the mechanisms controlling the response of a swirled non-premixed combustor burning natural gas and air. The flow is first characterized without combustion and LDV results are compared to Large Eddy Simulation (LES) data. The non-pulsated reacting regime is then studied and characterized in terms of fields of heat release and equivalence ratio. Finally the combustor fuel flow rate is pulsated at several amplitudes and the response of the chamber is analyzed using phase-locked averaging and first order acoustic analysis.
