Influence of fuel stage ratio on pressure oscillation frequency of low emissions with stirred swirls (LESS) combustor was tested. The pressure oscillation frequency dropped with the decrease of fuel stage ratio (from 32.7% to 5.21%) under the combustor inlet pressure of 1.14MPa to 2.77MPa
combustor inlet temperature of 645K to 808K
total fuel air ratio of 0.0242 to 0.0303 and combustor pressure drop of 3.14% to 3.64%. A homogeneous straight pipe model and CFD numerical method were adopted to analyze the influence of fuel stage ratio on pressure oscillation frequency. The results show that changes of original position
axial length and mean temperature of flame zone caused by fuel stage ratio are the main reasons contributing to the changes of pressure oscillation frequency.
