High Fidelity Measurements and Modeling of Combustion Instabilities
Abstract
It is proposed to undertake a collaborative research project in which researchers at both Purdue and UCLA pursue the study of reactive flowfields that can shed light on greater understanding of these instabilities and the ability to control them in practical propulsion systems. The focus of the UCLA work will be on coupling mechanisms between acoustics and both fuel droplet combustion, including fuels with additives (at UCLA) and shear coaxial jet combustion experiments (at AFRL). The Purdue focus is on obtaining high-fidelity measurements in a self-excited model combustor and improved comparisons with advanced computational models, including exploration of the effects of fuel additives.
