Theoretical investigation of dual flame coupling in the centrally-staged combustor
The communication theoretically investigates the coupling between the pilot and main stage flames, which is an essential issue in the centrally-staged combustor. First, an explicit solution to the mixture fraction equation is formulated, followed by a disturbance analysis to this basic solution. The mixture fraction response to the small bulk flow disturbance is derived. The corresponding linearized transfer function is then defined. Further, the flame sensitivity and coupling-induced oscillation suppression and enhancement are quantified. Finally, a dimensionless number is proposed to distinguish the strong and weak flame coupling based on the fuel transport.
Novelty and significance statement
We demonstrate a novel method to quantify the dual flame coupling characteristics and distinguish the strong and weak coupling effects. The analytical formulation visualizes the coupling intuitively. This conceptual investigation is of practical significance because it is helpful in understanding the dual-flame and multi-flame combustion systems, such as the centrally-staged stratificated flame and mesoscale hydrogen array flame.
