Abstract:
An experimental study has been conducted at the Air Force Research LaboratoryAFRL at Edwards Air Force Base to explore the coupling between a coaxial jet flame and transverse acoustic perturbations. A new experimental facility at AFRL was used to expose a single H2O2 shear coaxial diffusion flame to controlled acoustic resonances. A variety of chamber conditions including acoustic resonance properties were considered. The acoustic frequency and amplitude were selected relative to the characteristic frequency and dynamic pressure of the reacting injector flow. Placing the flame within the pressure node and antinode was also considered. Diagnostics employed high-speed imaging including backlit visualization and OH chemiluminescence. The images were analyzed using proper orthogonal decomposition to identify the natural frequencies and organized structure of the unforced jet flame. These techniques were used to elucidate the effects of forcing, including the structure and relative importance of forced modes relative to the natural flame behavior.
