Figure 2.4: <str<strong>on</strong>g>Impact</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the combusti<strong>on</strong> system acoustics <strong>on</strong> the choice <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
reference locati<strong>on</strong><br />
fore also the relati<strong>on</strong> – the transfer functi<strong>on</strong> – between the velocity fluctuati<strong>on</strong><br />
at x ˜b <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the heat release rate fluctuati<strong>on</strong>. A transfer functi<strong>on</strong> using the reference<br />
locati<strong>on</strong> x ˜b is thus not independent <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the acoustics <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the combusti<strong>on</strong><br />
system. It is therefore not a useful descripti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the flame dynamics. Indeed,<br />
the latter was dem<strong>on</strong>strated by Truffin <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Poinsot [127]. In their work they<br />
showed that the values <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> phase <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> gain <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the flame resp<strong>on</strong>se depend significantly<br />
<strong>on</strong> the combustor outlet reflecti<strong>on</strong> coefficient, if a reference locati<strong>on</strong><br />
far upstream is selected. Here, Truffin <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Poinsot proposed, that the distance<br />
x ˜b− x b , expressed as a Helmholtz number, should not exceed 0.01 to obtain<br />
c<strong>on</strong>sistent results. This limit is a surprisingly strict criteri<strong>on</strong>, indicating that<br />
already a distance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a few millimeter can have a noticeable effect <strong>on</strong> the results.<br />
