6.4 Identificati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the acoustic characteristics <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the swirler<br />

chamber. The <str<strong>on</strong>g>fuel</str<strong>on</strong>g> injecti<strong>on</strong> tubes are not included. The simulati<strong>on</strong> was performed<br />

with air as the <strong>on</strong>ly fluid <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> a mean flow velocity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 20 m/s. In c<strong>on</strong>trast<br />

to the identificati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the flame transfer functi<strong>on</strong>s, it is necessary to excite the<br />

inlet <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the outlet c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s to obtain a physical meaningful transfer matrix.<br />

The velocity fluctuati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the inlet c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> was set to u ′ = 5% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />

mean value. The pressure outlet c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> with zero mean pressure was overlaid<br />

with an acoustic fluctuati<strong>on</strong> in the same order <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the velocity fluctuati<strong>on</strong>:<br />

p ′ = ρcu ′ . As the present investigati<strong>on</strong> focuses <strong>on</strong> the pure acoustic characteristics<br />

over a relatively short distance, the time step <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the simulati<strong>on</strong> was<br />

reduced to△t = 0.5×10 −5 s to capture the acoustic waves accurately.<br />

The velocity fluctuati<strong>on</strong>s were exported 5 mm upstream <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> 20 mm downstream<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the swirler. 15000 time steps were simulated, which leads to a total<br />

simulati<strong>on</strong> time <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> minimum resolved frequency <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> T t = 0.075 s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

f min = 13.33 Hz, respectively. The scattering matrix in form <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> amplitude <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

phase is shown in Fig. 6.26 <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> 6.27. The amplitudes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the diag<strong>on</strong>al elements<br />

S 11 <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> S 22 represent the transmissi<strong>on</strong>, whereas the n<strong>on</strong>-diag<strong>on</strong>al elements<br />
