Abstract
AbstractWe present a phenomenological reduced-order model to capture the transition to thermoacoustic instability in turbulent combustors. Based on the synchronization framework, the model considers the acoustic field and the unsteady heat release rate from turbulent reactive flow as two nonlinearly coupled sub-systems. To model combustion noise, we use a pair of nonlinearly coupled second-order ODEs to represent the unsteady heat release rate. This simple configuration, while nonlinearly coupled to another oscillator that represents the independent sub-system of acoustics (pressure oscillations) in the combustor, is able to produce chaos. Previous experimental studies have reported a route from low amplitude chaotic oscillation (i.e., combustion noise) to periodic oscillation through intermittency in turbulent combustors. By varying the coupling strength, the model can replicate the route of transition observed and reflect the coupled dynamics arising from the interplay of unsteady heat release rate and pressure oscillations.
