Multiple - scale adjoint sensitivity analysis of hydrodynamic / thermo - acoustic instability in turbulent combustion chambers

چکیده
In this paper, we define a mathematically consistent set of thermo-acoustic equations via asymptotic multiple scale methods in the low-Mach number limit. The final thermoacoustic equations consist of reacting low-Mach number (LMN) equations for hydrodynamic phenomena and acoustic (AC) equations. The two sets of equations are two-way coupled. The coupling terms depend on which multiple scales are used. We derive and discuss the coupling terms for three distinct limits: double-time-double-space (2T-2S); double-time-single-space (2T-1S); and single-time-double-space (1T-2S). We linearize the thermo-acoustic equations around the mean flow, which is obtained by time averaging Large-Eddy simulations. We show that only 1T-2S provides a two-way coupled linearized system. In the other limits, the coupling from the AC to the LMN is of higher order. We perform global direct and adjoint analysis to identify unstable modes and passivefeedback mechanisms to stabilize/lower the frequency of the oscillation. Preliminary results are shown for a dual-swirl gas turbine combustor and a simplified dump combustor.

Research has shown that oscillatory or modulated flows can achieve a significant increase in heat transfer relative to the corresponding steady flow, providing that critical or threshold amplitude is achieved. The threshold condition is associated with the production of near-surface turbulence by the oscillatory motion. A similar process is hypothesized as a mechanism of highamplitude acoustic ...
