Abstract

A large eddy simulation (LES) and combustion instability analysis are performed using OpenFOAM for the multiple shear-coaxial injector combustor DLR-BKD (in German Deutsches Zentrum für Luft–Brennkammer D, German Aerospace Center–Combustion Chamber D), which is a laboratory-scale combustor operating in a real-gas environment. The Redlich–Kwong–Peng–Robinson equation of state and steady-laminar flamelet model are adopted in the simulation to accurately capture the real-gas combustion effects. Moreover, the stable combustion under the LP4 condition is numerically analyzed, and the characteristics of the combustion flow field are investigated. In the numerical simulation of the combustion instability, the instability is generated by artificially superimposing the 1st transverse standing wave solution on the stable combustion solution. To decompose the combustion instability mode, the dynamic mode decomposition method is applied. Several combustion instability modes are qualitatively and quantitatively identified through contour plots and graphs, and the sustenance process of the limit cycle is investigated.
