Role of hydrodynamic shear layer stability in driving combustion instability in a premixed propane-air backward-facing step combustor

This paper presents a global hydrodynamic stability analysis of flow fields in a backward-facing step combustor, assuming weakly nonparallel flow. The baseline experiments in a “long” combustor of length of 5.0 m shows the presence of two combustion instability states characterized by coherent low-...
