Thermoacoustic instability as mutual synchronization between the acoustic field of the confinement and turbulent reactive flow
Thermoacoustic instability is the result of a positive coupling between the acoustic field in the duct and the heat release rate fluctuations from the flame. Recently, in several turbulent…
Coupled interaction between unsteady flame dynamics and acoustic field in a turbulent combustor.
TLDR
A possible asymmetric bidirectional coupling between q ˙ ' and p ' is observed to exert a stronger influence on p ' than vice versa, and the directional property of the network measure, namely, cross transitivity is used to analyze the type of coupling existing between the acoustic field and the heat release rate fluctuations.
Coupling between hydrodynamics, acoustics, and heat release in a self-excited unstable combustor

Chaos, synchronization, and desynchronization in a liquid-fueled diffusion-flame combustor with an intrinsic hydrodynamic mode.
TLDR
It is shown that a liquid-fueled diffusion-flame combustor can exhibit dynamics as complex as those of its gaseous- fueled premixed-flame counterparts and the need to be exceptionally careful when selecting a diagnostic signal from which to calculate nonlinear measures of self-excited thermoacoustic oscillations is highlighted.
Attenuation behavior of thermoacoustic combustion instability analyzed by a complex-network- and synchronization-based approach.
TLDR
The decrease in the periodicity of noisy-periodic oscillations in a flow velocity field significantly affects the mutual coupling, resulting in the suppression of thermoacoustic combustion instability.
