Breaking the paradigm: A new approach to understanding and controlling combustion instabilities (TAIAC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,

It is well known that current and future low-emission combustion concepts for gas turbines are prone to thermoacoustic instabilities. These give rise to large pressure fluctuations that can drastically reduce the operable range and threaten the structural integrity of stationary gas turbines and aero engines. In the last 6 years the development of laboratory-scale annular combustors and high-perfo...
