Abstract
- Control of combustion instability for a realistic gas-turbine combustor is challenging. This work aims to establish an efficient numerical framework for optimization to improve the combustion stability of a bluff-body combustor. Large eddy simulations of the spray combustion process are conducted, and the experimental measurements are used to evaluate the numerical accuracy of the baseline case. The air preheating temperature, the Sauter mean diameter of fuel droplets, and the location of liquid fuel injection are regarded as input variables. The root mean square of pressure amplitude is regarded as an optimization objective. The Bayesian optimization framework is proposed that includes the sampling process, surrogate model, acquisition function, and genetic algorithm optimizer processes. It is found that PRMS can be reduced by 64% for the optimized case compared to the baseline case using only 17 sample evaluations. This work is promising as it provides an effective optimization framework for the development of next-generation gas-turbine combustors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
