Abstract
Active combustion instability control through modulated liquid fuel in jection is investigated. The flame response to external excitation is determined by phase-locked radical emission imaging. A fuel oil spray flame is destabilized by a controlled external acoustic excitation. Th e actuator is used to modulate the liquid fuel spray, imposing a phase shift between the pressure and heat release fluctuations. This system can efficiently control the level of hear release oscillations in the combustion zone and the corresponding pressure fluctuations.
