Abstract

Thermoacoustic instabilities typically consist of two modes: the acoustic instability mode and the intrinsic thermoacoustic (ITA) mode. These modes can coexist and compete under certain conditions within a combustor. This paper investigates the impact of multi-flame interaction on mode competition within a model combustor – a length-adjustable Rijke tube. Mode competition was explored by independently varying the chamber's acoustic characteristics (via Rijke tube length) and the multi-flame response characteristics (through injector hole distribution). The thermoacoustic response of the multi-flame system was examined using an acoustic pressure sensor and CH* chemiluminescence technique. The dynamic properties of the multi-flame flow field were captured with a high-speed camera and particle image velocimetry (PIV). Results showed that different multi-flame interactions can alter the flame transfer function (FTF), leading to combustion instability dominated by either the acoustic mode or the ITA mode. The experimental results were combined with a low-order acoustic network model (LOM) to study the transition and competition between acoustic and ITA instability under multi-flame interactions. The predictions of the LOM for the eigenfrequencies and growth rates of the combustion system can accurately describe the occurrence trend of the acoustic and ITA modes.
