Abstract

A fuel testing device (100) includes a combustion chamber (140) having an optical access port (142); a visualization system (150) that acquires images of a flame inside the combustion chamber (140), the images being acquired through the optical access port (142); and a vortex generator (124) that perturbs a flow of a fuel inside the combustion chamber (140). The images are used to determine a propensity of the fuel to thermoacoustic instabilities, and the combustion chamber (140) has a length less than 2 m.
