The primary objective is to perform a large eddy simulation (LES) using shear improved Smagorinsky model (SISM) to resolve the large-scale structures, which are primarily responsible for shear layer oscillations and acoustic loads in a cavity. The unsteady, three-dimensional (3D), compressible Navier–Stokes (N–S) equations have been solved following AUSM+-up algorithm in the finite-volume formulation for subsonic and supersonic flows, where the cavity length-to-depth ratio was 3.5 and the Reynolds number based on cavity depth was 42,000. The present LES resolves the formation of shear layer, its rollup resulting in large-scale structures apart from shock–shear layer interactions, and evolution of acoustic waves. It further indicates that hydrodynamic instability, rather than the acoustic waves, is the cause of self-sustained oscillation for subsonic flow, whereas the compressive and acoustic waves dictate the cavity oscillation, and thus the sound pressure level for supersonic flow. The present LES agrees well with the experimental data and is found to be accurate enough in resolving the shear layer growth, compressive wave structures, and radiated acoustic field.

Abstract This paper demonstrates that a large Eddy simulation (LES) combustion model based on tabulated chemistry and Eulerian stochastic fields can successfully describe the flame dynamics of a premixed turbulent swirl flame. The combustion chemistry is tabulated from one-dimensional burner-stabilized flamelet computations in dependence on progress variable and enthalpy. The progress variable allows to efficiently include a detailed reaction scheme, while the dependence on enthalpy describes the effect of heat losses on the reaction rate. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is modeled by eight Eulerian stochastic fields. An LES of a premixed swirl burner with a broadband velocity excitation is performed to investigate the flame dynamics, i.e., the response of heat release rate to upstream velocity perturbations. In particular, the flame impulse response and the flame transfer function (FTF) are identified from LES time series data. Simulation results for a range of power ratings are in good agreement with the experimental data.
