Oscillatory Response of a Ducted Non-Premixed Flame and Flame-Acoustic Interaction

This paper explores some fundamental issues involved in flame-acoustic interaction in the context of non-premixed flames. The combustion model considered is a two-dimensional co-flowing non-premixed flame. Both finite rate and infinite rate chemistry effects are examined. First, the velocity-coupled response of the flame to an externally imposed velocity fluctuation is studied at various frequencies of interest. The Damkohler number plays an...
