Abstract

For the active control of a combustion instability, a change should be made in pressure fluctuation or heat release fluctuation using an acoustic driver or a secondary fuel injection. Also, to determine the location and timing of a secondary fuel injection, one needs to know the distribution of heat release fluctuation under combustion instability. In the present research, the distribution of heat release fluctuation has been experimentally measured by changing hydrocarbon fuel, inlet velocity, equivalence ratio, and acoustic forcing condition. It was confirmed that heat release fluctuation with regards to vortex shedding was significantly affected by the $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number. Under the cases of the $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number above approximately 4 - 5, hot spot region was generated in the leading edge of vortex and cold spot region was in the trailing edge. On the contrary, the cases of the $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number below 3 showed the opposite trend.

연소불안정 능동제어를 위해서는 음향 발생기나 2차 연료 분사를 통해 압력 섭동이나 열방출 섭동에 변화를 주어야 한다. 2차 연료 분사의 위치 및 시점을 결정하기 위해서는 연소불안정 시 발생하는 열방출 섭동의 분포를 알아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 탄화수소 연료, 유입 속도, 당량비, 음향가진 조건을 변화시키며 위상에 따른 열방출 섭동의 분포를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 와류 발생에 따른 열방출 섭동은 $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ 수에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ 수가 대략 4 - 5 보다 큰 경우는 와류의 leading edge에서 hot spot이 trailing edge에서 cold spot이 발생하였다. 이와는 반대로 $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ 수가 3 보다 작은 경우는 반대의 경향이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.
