Abstract
This paper considers a simple, nonlinear model of a ducted
laminar flame. Ducted flames are susceptible to thermoacoustic instability, in which perturbations in the flame heat release drive acoustic modes of the duct that, in turn, drive the flame perturbations. Both the forced response of the flame and the selfexcited response of system are studied numerically. The overall system demonstrates limit cycles in the heat release, duct velocity
and static pressure. The effect of varying the duct geometry is examined, and the form of the system’s steady state behaviour is found to be strongly dependent on the system’s configuration. This final result infers that the use of a simple saturation element to model the flame non-linearity is inappropriate.
