contents We introduce a physics-informed neural network (PINN) method to study thermoacoustic interactions leading to combustion instability in combustors. Specifically, we employ a PINN to investigate thermoacoustic interactions in a bluff body anchored flame combustor, representative of ramjet and industrial combustors. Vortex shedding and acoustic oscillations appear in such combustors, and their interactions lead to the phenomenon of vortex-acoustic lock-in. Acoustic pressure fluctuations at three locations and the total flame heat release rate serve as the measured data. The coupled parameterized model is based on the acoustic equations and the van der Pol oscillator for vortex shedding. The PINN was applied in the combustor, where the measurements suitable for a future machine learning application were not anticipated at the time of the experiments, as is the case in the vast majority of available data in the literature. We demonstrate a good performance of PINN in generating the acoustic field (pressure and velocity fluctuations) in the entire spatiotemporal domain, along with estimating all the parameters of the model. Therefore, this PINN-based model can potentially serve as an effective tool in improving existing combustors or designing new thermoacoustically stable and structurally efficient combustors.
