内 容 简介:Self-sustained combustion oscillations (also known as combustion instability) most often arise due to the coupling between unsteady heat release and acoustic waves. The large-amplitude oscillations are wanted in thermoacoustic engine systems. However, they are undesirable in many other systems such as aero-engine afterburners, rocket motors, ramjets and gas turbines, since the oscillations may become so intense that they cause structural damage and costly mission failure. Combustion system is typically associated with non-orthogonal eigenmodes and flow disturbances can undergo transient growth to trigger combustion instability.  In this work, a Rijke-type combustion system with a laminar premixed flame confined is considered to investigate its non-normality and the resulting transient growth. Unsteady heat release from the flame is assumed to be caused by its surface variations, which results from the fluctuations of the oncoming flow velocity. Coupling the flame model with a Galerkin series expansion of the acoustic waves present enables the time evolution of flow disturbances to be calculated, thus providing a platform on which to gain insights on the Rijke–type system stability behaviors. Both eigenmodes orthogonality analysis and transient growth analysis of flow disturbances are performed. In order to achieve strict dissipativity (i.e., unity maximum transient growth), a transient growth controller is systematically designed and tested in both systems. Comparison is then made between the performance of the LQR (linear-quadratic regulator) controller and that of the transient growth controller. It is found in both systems that the transient growth controller achieves both exponential decay of the flow disturbance energy and unity maximum transient growth.
