This paper investigates the role of chaotic analysis and deep learning models in combustion instability predictions. To detect the precursors of impending thermoacoustic instability (TAI) in a swirled combustor with various fuel injection strategies, a data-driven framework is proposed in this study. Based on chaotic analysis, a recurrence matrix derived from combustion system is used in deep learning models, which are able to detect precursors of TAI. More specifically, the ResNet-18 network model is trained to predict the proximity of unstable operation conditions when the combustion system is still stable. The proposed framework achieved state-of-the-art 91.06% accuracy in prediction performance. The framework has potential for practical applications to avoid an unstable operation domain in active combustion control systems and, thus, can offer on-line information on the margin of the combustion instability.
