Turbulent combustor

Experiments are conducted to study thermoacoustic instabilities in a turbulent combustion system.

Laser Doppler Velocimetry

The LDV facility at IIT Dharwad is used to measure the velocity fluctuations from turbulent flow systems.

  • Experimental investigations involve pressure, velocity, heat release rate, emission concentrations and flame imaging measurements to study the occurrence of acoustic instabilities and emissions from turbulent combustion systems.

  • Further, the tools from dynamical systems, complex networks, and forced synchronization theory are used to analyze the nonlinear combustion-acoustic behaviors.
