Computer simulations were conducted to demonstrate the generation of microwave-induced thermoacoustic signal. The simulations began with modelling an object with a biological tissue characteristic and irradiating it with a microwave pulse. The time-varying heating function data at every particular point on the illuminated object were obtained from absorbed electric field data from the simulation result. The thermoacoustic signal received at a point transducer at a particular distance from the object was generated by applying heating function data to the thermoacoustic equation. These simulations can be used as a foundation for understanding how thermoacoustic signal is generated and can be applied as a basis for thermoacoustic imaging simulations and experiments in future research.

In this study, thermoacoustic analysis model was developed in order to predict both eigenfrequencies and initial growth rate of combustion instabilities for lean premixed gas turbine combustors. As a first step, a model combustor and nozzle were selected and analytical linear equations for thermoacoustic waves were derived for a given combustion system. Then, methods showing how the equations can be used for analysis of the combustion instability were suggested. It was found that the prediction results showed a good agreement with the measurements. However, there were some limitation in growth rate predictions, which were related with over-simplification of flame structure, acoustic boundary conditions, and temperature distribution in the combustor.

Basic refrigeration effect and efficiency of a thermoacoustic refrigerator is studied. The refrigerator model for numerical simulation is composed of half wavelength resonator and appropriate stack of plate. Theoretical model for thermoacoustic refrigeration suggested by Swift et. al is adapted for numerical calculation. The model contains arbitrary viscosity effect of the gas filled in the resonator. The wave equation is integrated by using 4-th order Runge-Kutta algorithm to give pressure distribution along the stack of plate. Heat flux and COP are also calculated based on the energy flux equation. By analyzing the numerical simulation results, optimum values of design parameters for thermoacoustic refrigerator are obtained.

열음향학적 불안정성의 동역학적 저차 모델링 기법 개발을 위해 전기적으로 가열되는 Rijke 튜브 실험 장치를 구성하고, 불안정성으로 인해 발생되는 튜브 내의 압력 진동을 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터로부터 압력 신호의 주파수 스펙트럼을 분석한 결과 3개의 주요한 진동모드를 관측할 수 있었으며 특히 첫 번째 모드 주파수는 단순한 열음향학적 해석 결과와도 거의 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 실험 자료와 데이터 분석을 바탕으로 추후 열음향학적 불안정현상의 저차 모델링을 수행할 예정이다.

가스터빈 희박 예혼합 연소기에서 발생하는 연소 불안정의 고유 주파수 및 초기 성장률의 예측을 위하여 선형 열음향 해석 모델이 소개되었다. 모델 검증을 위하여 입출구 조건이 잘 정의되고, 상대적으로 이전 연구 결과에서 적용된 연소기에 비하여 구조가 간단한 모델 연소기가 선정되었다. 정의된 연소기에서 음향 해석을 위한 선형 관계식이 유도되었고, 이를 통하여 선형 안정성 해석 방안이 제시되었다. 해석 결과 연소 불안정의 특성에 대한 전체적인 변화 경향은 성공적으로 예측하였으나, 주파수의 절대값에 있어서는 실제 실험 결과보다 다소 작은 값을 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 주파수의 예측 오차는 짧은 화염보다는 긴 화염에서 더욱 두드러지는 것으로 나타났다.

Authors' previous works on thermoacoustic(TA) model development showed good results in predicting combustion instability characteristics in a gas turbine combustor. However, they also suggested there were some limitations in growth rate estimation, which might be related with over-simplification of flame structure. As a first trial for improving the model accuracy, the current paper introduces the modified TA model considering the actual flame location in the combustor. The combustor is divided into the unburned and the burned area before and after the flame location, and then acoustic equations are re-organized. The modified TA model results show a better accuracy in predicting the growth rate of instabilities comparing with the previous results. However, obtained results still overestimate the conditions where the combustor goes unstable. Further researches considering heat release distribution through flames are required.

Thermoacoustic oscillation is a significant problem in cylindrical-type combustors such as common internal combustion engines, industrial furnaces, gas turbine, etc. This kind of low frequency oscillation can give rise to serious troubles such as the destruction of system or producing of a strong noise. Accurate numerical simulation of thermoacoustic phenomena is a complex and challenging problem. Especially, considering the reaction of mixture intensifies the difficulty of analysis. Like as other simulations of the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, direct computation of thermoacoustic phenomena requires that the Navier-Stokes equations be solved using accurate numerical differentiation and time-marching schemes, with non-reflecting boundary conditions. In this study,, numerical approach aims at qualitative analysis and efficient prediction of problem, not at the development of an accurate scheme. Overally speaking, numerical prediction is reasonably matched with experimental result.

The instabilities in rocket engines and gas turbine combustors due to the interaction between the fluid flow (acoustics) and the heat transfer (thermal energy) are called thermoacoustic or combustion instabilities. Almost all analysis assumes constant hot section temperature for Modern mathematical analysis of acoustic oscillations in Rijke type devices. However, it is impossible to predict whether a system is stable or not because the flame or heater response model can have a dramatic effect on predicted growth rates. In this study, A standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model and hybrid combustion model(eddy breakup model and chemical reaction) were used. After steady solution was gotten, unsteady calculation is simulated by perturbating on pressure boundary. As a result, we obtained the relationship of equivalence ratio and frequency by numerical simulation, and they are comparable to the experimental result. In addition, in spite of these results, there are limitations of using turbulent and combustion model in simulation method of thermoacoutic instability

In this study, 1D and 3D thermoacoustic analysis model were developed in order to predict fundamental characteristics of combustion instability in a gas turbine lean premixed combustor. The 1D network model can be used to analyze frequency and growth rate of combustor instability by simply dividing whole system into a couple of acoustic sub-elements, while the 3D Helmholtz solver model can predict directly acoustic modes as well as basic properties of combustion instability. Prediction results of both 1D and 3D models generally showed a good agreement with the measurements, even if there was a slight overestimation for instability range.

열음향 냉동기의 설계시 요구되는 냉동기의 내부음장 특성을 예측하기 위해, 냉동기를 이루는 공명기 구조 및 선형화된 스피커의 모델에 대행 전달행렬기법을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 여러 가지 기본 음향요소들의 전달행렬을 이용하여 공명기를 음향학적 요소들로 분해하고, 스피커의 선형화된 동특성 방정식과 함께 해석함으로써 음향요소들이 직렬로 배열되어 있는 공명기에 대한 음향특성을 얻어 내었다. 또한, 열음향 냉동기의 개발에 있어서 중요한 목표중 하나인 모세관 스택에서의 온도차이를 에너지 방정식을 이용하여 수치적으로 예측하였다. 한 개의 모세관 기공내에서의 음향일의 흐름, 열음향 흐름, 단위 길이당 에너지 손실 등을 단면변화함수를 이용해 표시한 후, 전체 스택에서의 에너지 흐름과 열평형을 고려하였다. 전체 스택에서의 에너지 흐름에 관한 식에 대하여, 내부음장 예측에 의해 구한 물리량을 이용하여, 수치적인 반복계산을 수행함으로써 온도비 및 성적계수를 예측할 수 있었다. 실제 설계된 공명기의 음향 특성의 해석결과가 실험과 잘 일치함을 관찰한 후, Hofler의 열음향냉동기에 대한 열음향 해석을 수행하여 실험결과와 잘 부합됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
