Role of Shear Layer Instability in Driving Pressure Oscillations in a Backward Facing Step Combustor

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