Abstract
It becomes critical to understand an energy coupling mechanism between flow perturbations and combustion heat release rate fluctuations for the understanding of high-frequency combustion instabilities occurring in high-performance combustion/propulsion systems. A significant amount of experimental researches have been carried out to understand flame dynamic characteristics by use of flame transfer functions with artificial flow disturbances. Among them, there exist substantial studies on flame response by the excitation of inlet flow. Recently, experimental studies simulating transversal modes excited in actual combustion systems are under way.
