Experimental study on self-excited thermoacoustic instabilities and intermittent switching of azimuthal and longitudinal modes in an annular combustor

Y. Fang, Y. Yang, K. Hu, G. Wang, J. Li, Y. Zheng

For annular combustors, the interactions between different modal structures (longitudinal, azimuthal spinning, standing, and slanted) remain a challenge in ongoing studies of thermoacoustic instabilities. The present work develops an annular combustor named TurboCombo, similar to the multiple-injector annular combustor named MICCA, but with a convergent turbine section connected to the combustor outlet. A Helmholtz solver provides a proper estimate of the modal frequencies and reveals the spatial structures for both two rigs. The experimental results present the consistencies of frequency domains between the acoustic pressure signals and the hydroxyl (OH*) radicals emission signal. The high-speed flame images are processed by the dynamic mode decomposition method, statistically showing longitudinal, azimuthal spinning, or standing nature in different cases. The stability maps of the two combustors show slight differences under atmospheric conditions. In the TurboCombo rig, there are two types of interaction behaviors between the 1/4 wave longitudinal mode of the chamber and the 1st order azimuthal mode of the plenum. Unlike the prevalent "dual-mode coexistence" characteristics, an interesting behavior of "intermittent switching" is revealed, which manifests as conspicuous two-way jumps between the two modes with different frequencies. Such intermittent switching occurs randomly between two stable limit cycles in a long-time observation without any external excitation, but is driven by the turbulence-induced stochastic process. Moreover, there still exist some weak azimuthal oscillations while the longitudinal mode is dominated. The standing or spinning bias of the azimuthal mode also features intermittent transition, corresponding to the occasions dominated by longitudinal mode or azimuthal mode, respectively.
