โฆ Synopsis
The low-frequency oscillation that is characteristic of small-scale diffusion flames is also shown to dominate the so-called turbulent flamebrush even at flowrates high enough to lift the flame from the burner. For free diffusion flames, the frequency of oscillation is always of the order of 10 Hz and is not affected by either the dimensions of the burner or the type, or rate of flow of the fuel. Linear stability theory, in which the oscillations are assumed to be purely convective in form, cannot explain the observed invariance of frequency.

Low-frequency combustion oscillations, involving the interaction between longitudinal acoustic waves and unsteady combustion, are investigated for a model afterburner. An experimental rig, in which a confined flame is stabilized in the wake of a conical gutter, is run with inlet conditions represent
The response of counterflow flames to oscillating strain rates is analyzed by using large activation energy asymptotics, as a potential application to turbulent combustion and acoustic instability of rocket engines. The characteristic oscillation time of practical interest is found to be of the same
