The effects of different types of noise on thermoacoustic systems using a Green's function approach (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Arabi, S., & Heckl, M. (2023). The effects of different types of noise on thermoacoustic systems using a Green's function approach. . https://doi.org/10.3397/in_2022_0394

In this paper, we take advantage of using a Green's function approach as an analytical tool to study linear and nonlinear aspects of thermoacoustic systems. Green's function is defined as the impulse response of a system, it has a clear physical mean...

Sustainable Combustion Technologies Need Acoustics Research (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Heckl, M. (2023). Sustainable Combustion Technologies Need Acoustics Research. . https://doi.org/10.3397/in_2022_1010

This paper outlines the challenges of developing hydrogen-fueled combustion systems, which are safe from combustion instabilities. Combustion instabilities can occur in any configuration where a continuously burning flame is housed in an acoustic res...

A unified framework for acoustic instabilities based on the tailored Green's function (2022)
Journal Article
Heckl. (2022). A unified framework for acoustic instabilities based on the tailored Green's function. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2022.117279

This paper presents a unified framework to analyse the role of thermoacoustic and aeroacoustic sources in a one-dimensional acoustic resonator. We introduce two forms of the tailored Green’s function: one that satisfies the boundary conditions of the...

3-D thermoacoustic instability analysis based on Green's function approach (2022)
Journal Article
Wang, X., & Heckl, M. (2022). 3-D thermoacoustic instability analysis based on Green's function approach. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 537, 1-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2022.116816

A fundamental analysis is made of the thermoacoustic instability in a hard-walled box. We model the flame as an acoustically compact source with a heat release characteristic described by a directional nt-law. This has the following features: it give...

Analytical approximations for heat release rate laws in the time- and frequency-domains (2020)
Journal Article
Heckl. (2020). Analytical approximations for heat release rate laws in the time- and frequency-domains. International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1177/1756827720930491

This paper focusses on the relationship between the heat release rate and the acoustic field, which is a crucial element in modelling thermoacoustic instabilities. The aim of the paper is twofold. The first aim is to develop a transformation tool, w... Read More about Analytical approximations for heat release rate laws in the time- and frequency-domains.

Advances by the Marie Curie project TANGO in thermoacoustics (2019)
Journal Article
Heckl. (2019). Advances by the Marie Curie project TANGO in thermoacoustics. International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1177/1756827719830950

This paper gives an overview of the research performed by the project TANGO – an Initial Training Network (ITN) with an international consortium of seven academic and five industrial partners. TANGO is the acronym for ‘Thermoacoustic and Aeroacoustic... Read More about Advances by the Marie Curie project TANGO in thermoacoustics.

Passive control of instabilities in combustion systems with heat exchanger (2018)
Journal Article
Surendran, A., Heckl, M. A., Hosseini, N., & Jan Teerling, O. (2018). Passive control of instabilities in combustion systems with heat exchanger. International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics, 10(4), 362 -379. https://doi.org/10.1177/1756827717731486

One of the major concerns in the operability of power generation systems is their susceptibility to combustion instabilities. In this work, we explore whether a heat exchanger, an integral component of a domestic boiler, can be made to act as a passi...

Nonlinear analytical flame models with amplitude-dependent time-lag distributions (2018)
Journal Article
Heckl. (2018). Nonlinear analytical flame models with amplitude-dependent time-lag distributions. International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics, 264-276. https://doi.org/10.1177/1756827717728056

In the present work, we formulate a new method to represent a given Flame Describing Function by analytical expressions. The underlying idea is motivated by the observation that different types of perturbations in a burner travel with different speed...
