Eduardo Perez, left, a doctoral student from West Virginia University, and Don Ferguson, a researcher in the Office of Research and Development at the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, use simplified combustion geometries such as the one pictured in order to control and separate the influences of different physical mechanisms that cause combustion instabilities. The goal of this research in NETL’s Energy System Dynamics Division is to improve modeling capabilities of combustion dynamics and provide better understanding of how fuel composition influences dynamic response in pre-mixed gas turbine combustion systems. The flame they are observing is imaged on the computer monitor behind them.
