Abstract

This paper details the use of nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges to attenuate combustion instabilities in a 14 kW swirl-stabilized methane/air combustor. The combustor exhibits large-amplitude pressure oscillations ranging from 1 to 4% of the mean pressure during which the flame exhibits bulk motion in each instability cycle, upstream and downstream, as revealed by high-speed chemiluminescence. Control is accomplished with an electrode comprising a pin anode at the centerline of the combustor, allowing a nanosecond spark to be generated in a region spanning close to the flame base, through the shear layers of the swirling flow and ending at the metallic combustor wall. The discharges are generated using 20 kV, 9 kHz pulses; and they correspond to about 120 W of mean power. This results in a suppression of the peak amplitude of the pressure oscillations by a factor of two to four, and 5 dB in the rms value. Using phase-averaged visualizations of the flame with and without plasma, we detail the sequence of flame motion in the course of the instability. With the plasma active, this reveals significant interactions between the flame and the plasma during the suppression. Finally, we present a state-space model of the thermoacoustic system, and we demonstrate open-loop control of the instabilities.
