POROus media: Life and dEath of their wAves and Flames
Turbulent combustion of fossil fuel remains an important source of energy creation and propulsion worldwide, generating pollutant emissions endangering both human health and climate. A major factor inhibiting the mitigation of emissions pertains to combustion instabilities, i.e.: large pressure oscillations resulting from a coupling between unsteady combustion and pressure waves. Carrying out the combustion within porous inert media holds great promise for lean combustion, owing notably to a strong heat recirculation effect occurring inside them. Despite the recognition that porous materials are natural wave absorbers, very little has been studied so far regarding the potential synergy…
