Abstract

Investigations of mode hopping of non-linear thermoacoustic instability were carried out by experimental tests and numerical simulations in this work. A vertical double-open Rijke type combustor in the length of 1200 mm was employed for the thermoacoustic instability experiments, where a ceramic porous burner was set and fueled with the premixed air-methane. By changing the heat power and equivalence ratio, the stability map of the Rijke tube was protracted. In the unsteady region, it was found that the dominant frequency of limit cycle oscillation hopped from about 165 Hz to about 375 Hz when the equivalence ratio descended. The two dominant frequencies were accurately predicted by calculating the acoustic characteristics of the Rijke tube. There were found to just be the first- and second-order eigenfrequencies of the Rijke tube. To further investigate flame dynamics in the mode hopping of thermoacoustic oscillations, the time-averaged and phase-locked flame images were analyzed. When the oscillations occurred in higher dominant frequencies, the time-averaged flames were more compact and attached to the burner, meanwhile, the dominant fluctuation mode of flame was in a blink mode. On the contrary, when the oscillations happened in a lower dominant frequency, the time-averaged flames were longer and lifted from the burner, and the dominant fluctuation mode of the flame was axial pulsation.
