Abstract

An analytical analysis has been developed to investigate the behavior of unsteady motions in combustion chambers. The model accommodates the third-order nonlinear acoustics and a second-order combustion response. The influences of various linear and nonlinear parameters on the limit cycles and triggering of pressure oscillations are discussed in detail. Results indicate that the third-order acoustics has little influence on the triggering of instability. It only affects the limiting amplitudes and the stability domains of limit cycles. The nonlinear combustion response plays an essential role in determining the characteristics of triggering.
