Self-excited high-frequency instabilities of a swirl-stabilized flame are experimentally investigated in a cylindrical flame tube. The objective is to study the interaction of acoustics and heat release. Based on feedback mechanisms published in literature, acoustics, flame, and flow and the interaction are characterized in the experimental part: The mode shape of the acoustics is investigated, stable and unstable operating conditions are worked out, differences in the flame shape are identified, and modifications in the flow field are studied. The observations are used to derive consistent models for the feedback mechanism and evaluate them. This part focuses on the adiabatic compression as well as on a displacement model: the positive feedback due to the displacement of the zone of heat release by the acoustic velocity fluctuations.
