Predicting the existence of thermoacoustic instabilities is a key step in the design of modern gas turbines and the choice of their operating conditions. The stability of a combustion system crucially depends on the acoustic boundary conditions. In order to systematically investigate the influence of these boundary conditions, a test facility with variable inlet and outlet geometry has been developed. Cold flow tests confirmed that the acoustic terminations allow for a change of the reflection coefficient from close to -1 (open end) to 0 (anechoic) to 0.8 (almost close end) over a large frequency range. In the present work, we present the design of an adjustable exit boundary enabling a change in the thermoacoustic stability without modifying the flame operating conditions. Experiments have been conducted in a turbulent axial atmospheric combustor. The acoustic reflection coefficients of the exit boundary are measured for different boundary geometries and the impact of these geometries on the flame stability is assessed. A parametrized model is derived and reproduces the experiments well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
