The frequency and strength of combustion-induced oscillations have been measured for premixed flames stabilized on baffles located on the axis of a pipe. With the baffle located between 5 and 20 diameters upstream of the pipe exit, the frequency corresponds to longitudinal (standing quarter-wave) ac

โฆ Synopsis
The flammability and stability limits of confined premixed flames stabilized behind axisymmetric bluff bodies have been established as a function of the length of upstream duct, with and without sudden contractions. Adjustment of the upstream length between a sudden contraction of large area ratio and the flame stabilizer is shown to offer a possible way of suppressing instabilities. Similarly, the careful location of an orifice in an upstream length of straight pipe can suppress instabilities and criteria for the location and diameter of the orifice are given. The relationship between shedding and acoustic frequencies is also examined and appears to be important in the range of equivalence ratios over which transition from stable to unstable combustion takes place.
