模型燃烧室中值班火焰稳定器的燃烧不稳定性研究

针对值班火焰的燃烧不稳定性问题，通过试验得到了不同当量比工况下的火焰结构、压力脉动信号和热释放脉动信号。对脉动信号进行傅立叶分析，获得了脉动信号的频率和振幅。结果表明，随着当量比增加，火焰形态发生变化，燃烧室内发生了164Hz三阶模态向109Hz二阶模态的转换。对火焰平均结构、火焰瞬态结构和火焰正交分解（POD）结果进行分析后发现，漩涡脱落频率和燃烧室某一阶声学模态耦合是维持燃烧不稳定性的机理，耦合的强弱和漩涡脱落的尺度大小决定了热声振荡的振幅大小，火焰形态的变化导致热释放中心位置的变化是引起模态转换的机理。     

Effects of swirler position on flame response and combustion instabilities

This study is concerned with the experimental and theoretical investigation of the combustion instabilities in a premixed swirl combustor. It is focused on the effects of the swirl mixing distance on the intrinsic thermoacoustic mode. The swirler as an origin of the swirling flow is also the source of the flow disturbance, which has effects on the flame response. The location of the swirler is varied in the experiment to study the effect on combustion instabilities and flame transfer functions. ...

The stable range of operation for the centrifugal compressor significantly influences the dynamic, economic, and environment-friendly characteristics of power systems. A deep understanding of the characteristics of instability evolution is necessary to improve the compressor stability.

Experimental study on flow excursion instability of supercritical hydrocarbon fuel in scramjet regenerative cooling parallel channels

Flow instability of supercritical hydrocarbon fuel is a crucial issue in scramjet regenerative cooling structure. In this study, flow excursion instability and flow distribution in parallel tubes were experimentally studied for supercritical fluids. Two types of flow excursion occur in a single tube. Type I and Type II excursions, and they are corresponding to decreasing and increasing flow rate respectively. They can trigger flow maldistribution between parallel tubes and the hysteresis phenomenon of flow distribution. The effects of system parameters, including inlet temperature, system pressure, and heat flux, on flow distribution were analyzed. In addition, the relationship between flow excursion and the pseudo-critical interval proposed in the literature was established according to the heated tube outlet temperature at the onset of flow instability. Finally, the flow excursion instability boundary was obtained using two dimensionless parameters. These experimental results can provide helpful insight on the mechanism of Scramjet regenerative cooling.     

Similarity phenomena of lean swirling flames at different bulk velocities with acoustic disturbances

In this study, flame responses to acoustic disturbances with different frequencies and amplitudes were experimentally investigated in a lean premixed swirl-stabilized combustor operating at different bulk velocities. The total heat release rate fluctuations and spatial CH* chemiluminescence distributions were captured using a photomultiplier tube and high-speed camera, respectively. The results indicate that the heat release rate exhibits a relatively drastic oscillation and high-order harmonics for low-frequency disturbances. When the bulk velocity and forcing frequency were doubled simultaneously, similar flame structures were observed in the CH* chemiluminescence distributions. As the bulk velocity increases, the gain of the Flame Describing Function (FDF) extends toward the higher frequencies, and the delay time of the flame response decreases. The similarity among FDFs at different bulk velocities was effectively captured by introducing a non-dimensional parameter, defined as the ratio of the flame response delay to the forcing time scale, to replace the dimensional forcing frequency. Furthermore, the availability of the newly defined non-dimensional parameter was verified for flames with different swirl numbers, as this played an important role in determining the flame structures and associated unsteady heat release rate.     

Effect of baffle injectors on the first-order tangential acoustic mode in a cylindrical combustor

Combustion instability is a very important issue in the development of the propulsion systems used in aerospace. It is very important to associate the high frequency combustion instabilities with the acoustic characteristics of the combustion chamber. In this paper, the effects of various baffle injectors which were installed on the injector faceplate on the first-order tangential acoustic mode were investigated theoretically and experimentally. The effects of the gap between adjacent injectors on the first-order tangential acoustic mode in a cylindrical chamber were considered. The acoustic admittance of the injectors was derived. The results showed that the amplitude and frequency of the first-order tangential acoustic mode increase with the increase in the gap between adjacent injectors, but decrease with the increase in the number and height of the baffles. The baffle injectors have a greater influence on the amplitude and frequency of the first-order tangential acoustic mode than the baffle blades.     

On a plastic instability criterion for ultra-large radial-axial ring rolling process with four guide rolls

A dynamic mechanical model is proposed to describe the complexing actions of all the rolls on the ring during the ultra-large radial-axial ring rolling(RARR) process with four guide rolls. Based on the model, the calculation models for bending moment and normal stress at any section of the ring are deduced by force method. If the maximum section bending normal stress exceeds the yield stress of the ring materials, the ring will be distorted thus leading to the instability of the RARR process. Ac...     

Numerical simulations of a continuously injected relativistic electron beam relaxation into a plasma with large-scale density gradients

In this paper the influence of large-scale decreasing and increasing gradients of the density of magnetized plasma on the relaxation process of a continuously injected relativistic electron beam with an energy of 660 keV ($v_b=0.9c$) and a pitch-angle distribution is studied using particle-in-cell numerical simulations. It is found that for the selected parameters in the case of a smoothly decreasing gradient and in a homogeneous plasma the formation of spatially limited plasma oscillations of large amplitude occurs. In such cases, modulation instability develops and a long-wave longitudinal modulation of the ion density is formed. In addition, the large amplitude of plasma waves accelerates plasma electrons to energies on the order of the beam energy. In the case of increasing and sharply decreasing gradients, a significant decrease in the amplitude of plasma oscillations and the formation of a turbulent ion density spectrum are observed. The possibility of acceleration of beam electrons to energies more than 2 times higher than the initial energy of the beam particles is also demonstrated. This process takes place not only during beam propagation in growing plasma density, but also in homogeneous plasma due to interaction of beam particles with plasma oscillations of large amplitude.     

内并联型进气道模态转换过程中流道间干扰特性研究

针对组合动力进气道模态转换过程中存在的流道间干扰现象,采用数值模拟方法对一典型内并联型进气道模态转换过程中高/低速流道间的干扰特性展开了深入研究。结果表明：在模态转换过程中,当低速流道结尾激波位于低速流道内部时,高速流道节流至一定程度都将对低速流道形成干扰。该干扰现象出现后,高/低速流道的流动耦合,两流道的流量分配也随之发生变化,甚至导致了进气道流场的失稳。仅当β/α=0.25时,高/低速流道间的干扰造成了进气道流场的失稳且失稳后的振荡流场会先后出现两个不同的发展时期：前一时期的振荡流场的振幅较大但频率较低,约为335Hz；后一时期的振荡流场的振幅较小但频率较高,约为880Hz。
