A Lattice-Boltzmann study of premixed flames thermo-acoustic instabilities

We present possibly for the first time Lattice-Boltzmann numerical simulations of thermo-acoustic instabilities of premixed flames. We study flames interacting with an imposed acoustic field where flames submitted to a parametric instability can be observed, as well as plane flames re-stabilized by the acoustic forcing. Self-induced thermo-acoustic oscillations of flames propagating in narrow channels are also studied, indicating an unexpected dependency with the channel width. For both excited and self-excited flames, results confirm that Lattice-Boltzmann method can capture the complex coupling between flame dynamics and acoustics.
