Inside a combustion chamber, temperature fluctuations can cause sound waves that also disrupt the flow, in turn. This is called a thermoacoustic instability. In this video, researchers explore this process Keep reading

Searching for Stability in Cleaner Flames
Spiking natural gas power plants with hydrogen could help them burn cleaner as we transition away from carbon power. But burners in power plants and jet engines can be extremely Keep reading
Flame Feedback
When a flame is enclosed in a combustion chamber, it can create violent oscillations in the pressure field. Flames have a natural unsteadiness in their heat release. These temperature fluctuations Keep reading
