Abstract
We numerically study the spatiotemporal dynamics and early detection of thermoacoustic combustion instability in a model rocket combustor using the theories of complex networks and synchronization. The turbulence network, which consists of nodes and vertexes in weighted networks between vortices, can characterize the complex spatiotemporal structure of a flow field during thermoacoustic combustion instability. The transfer entropy allows us to identify the driving region of thermoacoustic combustion instability. In addition to the order parameter, a phase parameter newly proposed in this study is useful for capturing the precursor of thermoacoustic combustion instability.
