Combining analytical models and LES data to determine the transfer function from swirled premixed flames

A methodology is developed where the acoustic response of a swirl stabilized flame is obtained from a reduced set of simulations. Building upon previous analytical flame transfer functions, a parametrization of the flame response is first proposed, based on six independent physical parameters: a Strouhal number, the mean flame angle with respect to the main flow direction, the vortical structures convection speed, a swirl intensity parameter, a...
