Abstract
An orbital instability of the unsteady flame tip motion with burner rotation and the possibility of the prediction
of the flame tip motion are investigated from the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics. A rich methane–air mixture
of equivalence ratio 1.43 is used. The mean exit velocity from the burner tube, U , is varied from 0.6 to 1.3 m/s,
keeping the swirl number S = 1.14 constant. The variation in the flame tip motion is quantitatively evaluated by
calculating the mean value of a parallel trajectory value Γ . At U  0.7 m/s, the value of Γ is estimated to be
approximately zero, indicating that periodic motion occurs. As U increases, the trajectory of the attractor becomes
complicated and Γ gradually increases. The value of Γ approaches the value of the Fourier-transformed surrogate
data with further increase in U . This suggests that the flame tip motion varies from periodic to chaotic due to the
influence of phase randomness with increasing U . The short-term forward prediction method, that is based on the
orbit of the attractor, first was used. Then the short-term forward prediction method was modified to successfully
extend the prediction term. The results suggest that the modified short-term forward prediction method proposed
in the present study provides a valid method for predicting the motion of unsteady flames.
