| Popis: | The present study has experimentally investigated the combustion instability and its attenuation characteristics in the lab-scale swirlstabilized premixed combustor with a sponge-like porous medium. Unlike the conventional premixed burners, this model combustor has the unique features including a porous dump plane and an acoustic cavity, which was devised for attenuating the combustion instability. When replacing the dump plane with a non-porous medium, the burner becomes the conventional design. In order to evaluate the damping effects of the porous medium on the unstable flame dynamics, various acoustic and photonic measurements and flame visualization were made. Special emphasis is given to the effects of the acoustic cavity length on the stabilization characteristics. Results showed that the model combustor with the porous dump plane and the acoustic cavity exhibited dramatic attenuation of the pressure oscillation intensity by up to about 40 %. The attenuation was increased with increasing the acoustic cavity length. It was also found that the attenuation is effective not only for the fundamental resonance but also for its higher harmonics. Based on the experimental results, detailed discussions are made for the combustion instability and its attenuation characteristics in the model gas turbine combustor with porous and nonporous media. |
