| Summary: | The current work is focused on investigating the potential of data-driven post-processing techniques, including proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) for flame dynamics. Large-eddy simulation (LES) of a V-gutter premixed flame was performed with two Reynolds numbers. The flame transfer function (FTF) was calculated. The POD and DMD were used for the analysis of the flame structures, wake shedding frequency, etc. The results acquired by different methods were also compared. The FTF results indicate that the flames have proportional, inertial, and delay components. The POD method could capture the shedding wake motion and shear layer motion. The excited DMD modes corresponded to the shear layer flames’ swing and convect motions in certain directions. Both POD and DMD could help to identify the wake shedding frequency. However, this large-scale flame oscillation is not presented in the FTF results. The negative growth rates of the decomposed mode confirm that the shear layer stabilized flame was more stable than the flame possessing a wake instability. The corresponding combustor design could be guided by the above results.
