The effects of unsteady combustion are experimentally studied using forced pulsating mixture supply. It was shown that unsteady combustion used in this experiment plays an important role in controlling self-excited combustion oscillations. It may also have desirable performances, from a practical point of view, such as high combustion load, augmented heat transfer, reduced pollutant emissions and so on. We examined the characteristics of unsteady combustion driven by forced pulsating mixture supply in a small duct-combustor with a rearward-facing step. Further, we found its influence on the onset of self-excited combustion oscillations, the possibility of suppressing self-excited combustion oscillations and the reason why the self-excited combustion oscillation was suppressed using the forced pulsating mixture supply, comparing with the steady mixture supply.

Combustion-driven oscillations in a surface burner have been investigated to clarify their characteristics. A model combustor is made and the oscillation frequencies are measured for various dimensions of the combustor. It is found that there are two modes of oscillations; one is the 'acoustic mode' at high frequencies, associated with the acoustic mode of the combustion system and the other is the 'combustion mode' at low frequencies around 100 Hz, associated with the instability of the flame. Acoustic mode is excited when the surface burner is placed where the phase of particle velocity leads that of acoustic pressure by $90^{\circ}$, for all the combustion conditions. Combustion mode is driven at high combustion rate by the lift of unstable flame near the lower limit of the combustible equivalence ratio. Combustion mode is greatly influenced by the inlet temperature of the premixed gas. When the inlet temperature is very high, the combustion mode does not occur.

Monitoring of OH chemiluminescence through an optical fiber was demonstrated to be a useful method in detecting self-excited combustion oscillations. OH chemiluminescence intensity detected by the optical fiber showed mostly excellent agreement with those obtained by high speed CCD camera measurements when combustion oscillations were strong. Symptoms of self-excited combustion oscillation were also studied in order to predict the onset of combustion oscillation before it proceeded to a catastrophic failure. For the purpose, we have found and proposed unique measures to tell the onset of self-excited combustion oscillations based on the careful statistics of fluctuating properties in flames, such as pressure or emission of OH radicals.

Dynamic characteristics of combustion occurring in various combustion devices have been extensively studied since most of high-performance combustion devices are susceptible to hazardous, unstable combustion that deteriorates combustor's lifetime. One of the most severe unstable combustion phenomena is high-frequency combustion instability in which heat release fluctuations from combustion are coupled to resonant modes of the combustor. Here in this study, characteristics of high-frequency combustion instabilities observed in three different combustion devices have been presented. Lean-premixed combustion instability occurs mainly due to equivalence ratio fluctuations which induce large heat release oscillations at lean conditions. Liquid-fueled combustion also shows high-frequency instability from energy coupling between pressure and heat release oscillations.

An idea to suppress the self-excited combustion oscillation was applied to the flames. The characteristics of unsteady combustion were examined and the unsteady combustion was driven by forced pulsating mixture supply that can modulate its amplitude and frequency. The self-excited combustion oscillation having weaker flow velocity fluctuation intensity than that of the forced pulsating supply can be suppressed by this method. The effects of the forced pulsation amplitude and frequency on controlling self-excited combustion oscillations were also investigated comparing with the steady mixture supply. The unsteady combustion used in this experiment plays an important role in controlling self-excited combustion oscillation. Symptoms of self-excited combustion oscillation were also studied in order to predict the onset of combustion oscillation before it proceeded to a catastrophic failure For the purpose, the unique measures to observe the onset of self-excited combustion oscillations based on the careful statistics of fluctuating properties in flames, such as pressure or emission of OH radicals, have been proposed.

하이브리드 로켓의 후연소실(post chamber)은 액화된 연료의 추가적 연소를 유도하여 엔탈피 상승으로 이어지도록 한다. 후연소실이 있는 하이브리드 로켓에 파라핀 왁스를 연료로 사용하는 경우, 연소초기에만 비정상 연소 압력진동이 관찰된다. 본 연구는 비정상 연소 압력진동의 발생과 액적의 추가적 연소 사이의 상관관계를 확인하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 후연소실 연소를 가시화하고 POD 기법을 활용한 이미지 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 모드 재구성을 통해 액적의 거동을 포함하고 있는 모드를 분리하여 비정상적인 연소압력의 진동과 액적의 연소 사이의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 일련의 실험에서는 후연소실로 유입되는 액화 연료량과 액적발생을 조절하여 비정상 연소압력 진동의 변화를 유도하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 파라핀 왁스의 연소 초기에만 관찰되는 비정상 연소압력 진동은 후연소실에서 발생하는 액적의 추가적인 연소가 그 발생원인임을 알 수 있다.

Characteristics of self-excited combustion oscillation are experimentally studied using confined premixed flames stabilized by a rearward-facing step. A new idea to suppress combustion oscillation was applied to the flames.

The self-excited combustion oscillation having weaker flow velocity fluctuation intensity than that of the forced pulsating supply can be suppressed by the method.

The unsteady combustion used in this experiment plays an important role in controlling self-excited combustion oscillations, and it also exhibits desirable performances, from a practical point of view, such as high combustion load and reduced pollutant emissions of nitric oxide.

This study has been mainly motivated to numerically investigate the transient flame response to pressure oscillations in the gaseous hydrogen - liquid oxygen flames at supercritical pressures. The present analysis is based on the real-fluid transient flamlet model and the flame field is acoustically perturbed only by the sinewave oscillations in the frequency range from 1,000 Hz to 5,000 Hz. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the flame response characteristics and the transient flamelet response associated with the high-frequency combustion instability in the liquid propellant rocket engines.

연소불안정현상은 주로 음향파와 열방출률 섭동간의 상호작용에 의해 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 현상은 헬름홀츠 공진기와 같은 수동제어기를 사용하여 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러나 헬름홀츠 공진기는 일반적으로 좁은 주파수대역에 대해서만 효과가 있는 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 작동 범위에서 효과를 가질 수 있도록 피스톤을 사용하여 헬름홀츠 공진기의 부피를 변화시켜가며 연소불안정현상에 적용하였다. 그 결과 피스톤을 최적위치에 동조시킴으로써 연소 불안정 모드의 진폭을 감소시킬 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 능동적으로 동조되는 수동제어방식의 가능성에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 고가인 고속도 CCD카메라가 아닌 비교적 간단한 광파이버 시스템을 이용한 자려진동연소 발생에 관한 검출과, 진동연소가 발생하기 전에 이를 미리 예견할 수 있는 통계학적 수법에 관해 조사를 하였다. 먼저 자려진동연소의 발생시에 사용될 수 있는 광파이버의 유용성이 검증되었다. 광파이버에 의해 검출되어진 OH 라디칼 자발광 강도는 고속도 CCD카메라에 의해 얻어진 값과 강한 자려진동연소가 발생할 때에 거의 일치를 하였다. 자려진동연소가 발생하면 시스템과 연소기기에 손상을 가하게 된다. 이러한 피해가 발생하기 전에 자려진동연소의 발생 징후를 미리 포착하려는 시도를 하였다. 이를 위해 압력과 OH라디칼 자발광과 같은 화염에서의 변동성분께 대한 통계학적 처리를 이용하여 자려진동연소의 발생을 예견할 수 있는 독특한 수법에 관해 조사를 하였다.
