Simulink low order model can be used for prediction of Limit Cycle Conclusions TFC and FSC flame models were tested on the BRS test rig Gain of FTF obtained using FSC model is in a good agreement with experiments Shift in phase of FTF is due to the shifted position of the flame predicted by simulations with correspondence to experiments To deal with non-adiabatic cases, like BRS test rig, corrections that take into account coupled effect of heat losses and shear stress should be made Success of obtaining FTF using 2 methods Simulink low order model can be used for prediction of Limit Cycle Numerical and analytical study of combustion instabilities in industrial gas turbine.
