  • Patent number: 11859816
    Abstract: Various kinds of oscillatory instabilities are seen in practical systems. We devise of way of combating these oscillatory instabilities in a thermoacoustic system. Confined combustion environments are prone to large amplitude pressure oscillations known as thermoacoustic instabilities. Although several techniques have been employed to control or mitigate such instabilities, optimization of these methods is achieved at the cost of performing multiple trial and error experiments/simulations. This invention develops a methodology to quantify the spatio-temporal dynamics using synchronization, recurrence, and fractal measures and find the coherent region in such turbulent flow field. Such an analysis provides us with a novel way to detect critical regions responsible for thermoacoustic instability, and other oscillatory instabilities in general, in the flow field and implement an optimized control strategy at these regions.

  • Patent number: 11573151
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a system (100) to estimate the amplitude of oscillations in a turbulent flow system (102) that exhibits oscillatory instabilities. The system (100) comprises of a sensor (102A) mounted on the turbulent flow system (102) to detect an oscillatory variable in the system obtaining a signal, a signal conditioner (104) that conditions the signal from the sensor, an amplitude estimator (110) that estimates the amplitude of the limit cycle oscillations, and also predict the proximity of the system to the oscillatory instability, a processor (108) connected to the amplitude estimator (110) to compare the predicted oscillation amplitude with a threshold value. The amplitude is estimated by estimating the spectral measure of the time series signal obtained from the system.

  • Patent number: 11303320
    Abstract: According to the embodiment discloses a method providing direct RF sampling of the received signal in a full duplex system. A sampler in the full-duplex system comprises a buffer to clip an amplitude information from each of a coupled transmitter (Tx) signal and a voltage at an antenna port of the sampler for obtaining a buffered transmitter signal and a buffered voltage at the antenna port. Phase detector in the sampler is configured to perform sampling of time delay between the buffered transmitter signal and the voltage at the antenna port and generate an output. The sampler further comprises current integrator configured to pass the output of the phase detector for generating a sampled output, wherein the sampled output generates an output received signal.

  • Patent number: 10337414
    Abstract: The invention includes a method for predicting the operational state of equipment with turbulent flow characterized by time series data relating to its operation. The invention further includes a system and method for predicting the onset of an impending oscillatory instability. Further, the invention includes a system and method for identifying an impending absorbing transition such as flame blowout in combustion systems. A variable representing the dynamics of operation is measured with the help of a sensor, to obtain time series data. A complex network is then derived from the measured time series data. Network properties are then calculated using the complex network to identify the state of stability relating to operation of the equipment. The stability information may include one of thermoacoustic instability, aero-elastic instability such as flutter, flow-induced vibration, magneto-hydrodynamic, aerodynamic, aeromechanical, aero-acoustic instability or onset of flame blowout of a combustor.
