Abstract

A fuel testing device includes a combustion chamber having an optical access port; a visualization system that acquires images of a flame inside the combustion chamber, the images being acquired through the optical access port; and a vortex generator that perturbs a flow of a fuel inside the combustion chamber. The images are used to determine a propensity of the fuel to thermoacoustic instabilities, and the combustion chamber has a length less than 2 m.
