Online Course on Combustion Instabilities at CERFACS

Coupling between acoustic waves and flames has become a central issue in the development of many modern combustion systems, especially using hydrogen. This course presents the theoretical background needed to tackle such problems.

This is a fully online training session. It is divided into 4 consecutive weeks, based on learning activities delivered each week. The course content itself is divided in 3 consecutive weeks:

• Week 1: Introduction of the phenomena
• Week 2: Laws of 1D acoustic in tubes
• Week 3: Interaction between a flame and acoustic
• Week 4: Interactive live conference will close the session and will deal with an application case where you try to predict the stability of a system

At the end of this training, you will be able to:

• Explain the origin of thermo-acoustic instabilities in a combustor,
• Evaluate the natural frequency of a combustor,
• Make recommendations to make an unstable system become stable.
