Abstract
This paper, intended to complement Buckmaster’s position paper on Combustion Instability, examines the role of finite-amplitude gasdynamic disturbances on selected modes of premixed combustion. The dramatic influence exerted by the disturbances on the dynamics of these systems attests to their unstable character. A need for analogous studies on non- premixed combustion is identified.
