The lifted oscillating flame has been studied using experiments of inverse diffusion flames that the air jet injected into a methane background. To find out the characteristics of inverse diffusion flames, fundamentally flame stabilized diagram is investigated with various air and fuel jet velocities. It has five regions - flame extinction, stable attached flame, anchored flame, liftoff flame and blow off region. In inverse diffusion flame, lifted flames were observed near the blow off region. As long as flames lift off, flames oscillate by periods. In this oscillating lifted flame region, the frequency of 1 and under were observed in various air and methane jet velocities. Characteristics of lifted flames are also examined by using the ICCD direct image. And intensity of flame chemiluminescence is very different in rising and falling period from photographs. For the present, it is predicted that the changes of flame structure are related with flame oscillation, but more experiments will be needed to make clear the phenomenon.

연소불안정 현상을 제거하거나 효과적으로 제어하기 위해서는 화염구조에 대한 이해가 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 OH 자발광 및 He-Ne 레이저 광흡수 계측기법을 이용하여 연소불안정과 화염 구조사이의 상관관계에 대한 실험적 연구를 다양한 실험조건에서 수행하였다. 실험에서는 673 K로 가열된 swirl 형태로 공급되는 건조한 공기와 LNG($CH_4$) 연료를 사용하였으며 전체 당량비는 1.2 조건에서 속도를 25 ~ 70 m/s까지 바꾸어가며 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 연소불안정 현상이 낮은 속도조건과 높은 속도조건에서 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 낮은 속도조건의 불안정에서는 화염의 와동구조가 연소불안정현상에 영향을 끼친다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The knowledge of flame structure is essential for control of combustion instability phenomena. Some results of an experimental study on mechanism of naturally occurring combustion oscillations with a single dominant frequency are presented. Tests were conducted in a laboratory-scale dump combustor at atmospheric pressure. Sound level meter was used to track the pressure wave inside the combustor. The observed instability was a longitudinal mode with a frequency of $\sim341.8Hz$. Instability map was obtained at the condition of inlet temperature of $360^{\circ}C$, mean velocities of $8.5\sim10.8m/s$ and well premixed mixture. It showed that combustion instability was susceptible to occur in the lean conditions. In this study, unstable flame was observed from stoichiometric to 0.7 in overall equivalence ratio. At selected unstable conditions, phase-resolved OH chemiluminescence images were captured to investigate flame structure with various mean velocities. As mean velocity is increased, the flame grows and global heat release was changed. Due to these effects, combustion instability can be maintained at more lean air-fuel ratio. Also, these results give an insight to the controlling mechanism for an increasing heat release at maximum pressure.

This paper described an experimental investigations of combustion instability mode in a lean premixed dual swirl combustor for micro-gasturbine system. When such the instability occurs, a strong coupling between pressure oscillations and unsteady heat release excites a self-sustained acoustic wave which results in a loud, annoyed sound and may also lead a structural damage to the combustion chamber. The detailed period of flame behavior and heat release in combustion instability mode have been examined with high speed OH and CH-PLIF system and $CH^*$ chemiluminescence measurement, flame tomography with operated at 10 kHz and 6 kHz each. Experiment results suggest that unstable flame behavior has a specific frequency with 200 Hz and this frequency is accords with about 1/2 sub-harmonic of combustor resonance frequency, not fundamental frequency. This is very interesting phenomenon that have not reported yet from other previous works. Therefore, when a thermo-acoustic instability with Rayleigh criterion occurs, the fact that the period of heat release and flame behavior are different each other was proposed for the first time through this work.

스월/전단 동축형 인젝터를 통해 형성된 기체메탄-기체산소 확산화염의 동역학적 거동 및 구조분석을 위해 다양한 추진제 분사조건에 따른 연소실험이 수행되었다. 연구결과, 자발광 기법을 통해 가시화된 확산화염의 $OH^*$ 방사강도는 추진제 공급유량 및 운동량 플럭스 비 증가에 따라 높은 값을 나타내고 있으며, 스월을 가지는 화염은 그렇지 않은 것에 비해 더 우수한 반응성을 보였다.

In this study, the effect of central fuel injection on a coaxial laminar $CH_{4}/air$ flame was experimented at the defined premixing condition(${\Phi}=1.90$, ${\sigma}=50/75/100%$, x/D=10). The partial premixing parameter are the equivalence ratio that total fuel is fixed at 200cc/min, the fuel split degree which means the percentage of fuel entering the outer tube to the total amount, and the mixing distance indicating the nonreactant mixture's homogeneity between inner tube top and burner exit. The object is to investigate the flame structure and chemiluminescence characteristics of laminar partial premixed flame as changing mixing parameters. The radical signal was acquired from ICCD camera and PMT. Each intensity was compared with Abel inverted value for measuring the effect of background light on the peak signal location and the intensity at central preheat zone. The results show that the peak location of each radical was broaden as the fuel split degree increasing because the mixing quality was enhanced. and $OH^{\ast}$ is a good indicator for flame front between reaction and preheat zone. At last $CH_{2}^{\ast}$ has the same tendency with $CH^{\ast}$ but a thinner reaction zone than $CH^{\ast}$ due to a rapid decay on the burned gas side.

The effects of hydrogen enrichment to methane have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed hydrogen-enriched methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The hydrogen-enriched methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of hydrogen addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The hydrogen addition effects and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using micro-thermocouple, particle image velocity meter (PIV) and chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in ignition energy from recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The higher combustibility of hydrogen makes reaction faster, raises the temperature of reaction zone and expands the reaction zone, consequently recirculation flow to reaction zone is reduced. The temperature of reaction zone increases with hydrogen addition even though the adiabatic flame temperature of the mixture gas decreases with increase in the amount of hydrogen addition in this experiment condition because the higher combustibility of hydrogen reduces the cooler recirculation flow to the reaction zone.

Influence of changing combustor pressure on flame stabilization and emission index in the swirl-stabilized flame was investigated. The combustor pressure was controlled by suction fan at combustor exit. Pressure index ($P^{\ast}$=Pabs/Patm), where Pabs and Patm indicated the absolute pressure and atmosphere pressure, respectively, was controlled in the range of 0.7${\sim}$1.3 for each equivalence ratio conditions. The flammable limits of swirl flames were largely influenced by changing combustor pressure and they showed similar tendency with laminar flames. NOx emission index decreased with decreasing pressure index for overall equivalence ratio conditions. R.m.s. of pressure fluctuations is increased with decreasing combustor pressure. This flame fluctuation caused incomplete combustion, hence CO emission index increased. These oscillating flames were measured by simultaneous $CH^{\ast}$ chemiluminescence time-series visualization and pressure fluctuation measurement.
