Description
Summary:The experimental investigation of the combustion dynamics in a full scale industrial gas turbine combustor has been conducted. The successful capture of different combustion observables; including chemiluminescence emissions from C2* and CH* radicals, acoustic pressure oscillations emanating from the combustor, sound pressure level, fuel pressure oscillations before entry to the combustor, differential pressure oscillations across orifice plates for fuel flow measurement has yielded a huge database.
