Sudden changes of flame shape are an undesired, yet poorly understood feature of swirl combustors used in gas turbines. The present work studies flame shape transition mechanisms of a bistable turbulent swirl flame in a gas turbine model combustor, which alternates intermittently between an attached V-form and a lifted M-form. Time-resolved velocity fields and 2D flame structures were measured simultaneously using high-speed stereo-PIV and OH-PLIF at 10 kHz. The data analysis is performed using two novel methods that are well adapted to the study of transient flame shape transitions: Firstly, the linear stability analysis (LSA) of a time-varying mean flow and secondly the recently proposed spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD). The results show that the transitions are governed by two types of instability, namely a hydrodynamic instability in the form of a precessing vortex core (PVC) and a thermoacoustic (TA) instability. The LSA shows that the V-M transition implies the transient formation of a PVC as the result of a self-amplification process. The V-M transition, on the other hand, is induced by the appearance of a TA instability that suppresses the PVC and thereby modifies the flow field such that the flame re-attaches at the nozzle. In summary these results provide novel insights into the complex interactions of TA and hydrodynamic instabilities that govern the shape of turbulent swirl-stabilized flames.

The existence of two new rubidium isotopes, Rb92 and Rb93, has been established and their half lives measured. The half lives of these short-lived fission products were determined using a technique of timed precipitations. The values obtained for Rb92 and Rb93 were 5.3 ± 0.5 sec and 5.6 ± 0.5 sec respectively. The half lives of the strontium and yttrium daughters were also determined. The strontium isotopes were studied by observing the decay rate of a characteristic γ-ray peak. For Sr92, the decay of the 1.37-Mev line gave a value of 2.71 ± 0.02 hr. A γ-ray peak at 590 kev, which was found to be associated with Sr93, decayed with a half life of 7.54 ± 0.06 min. The half lives of the yttrium daughters were determined by β counting. The values found for Y92 and Y93 were 3.53 ± 0.02 hr and 10.1 ± 0.1 hr respectively.

The "Modified Funny-Hills parametrisation" is used together with the Lublin-Strasbourg Drop Model to evaluate the stability of rotating nuclei. The Jacobi transition into triaxial shapes is studied. By a comparison with selfconsistent semiclassical calculations in the framework of the Extended Thomas-Fermi method, the validity of the present approach is demonstrated and possible improvements are indicated.
