振荡燃烧是一种异常燃烧噪声源，几乎可以发生在任何类型的燃烧系统中，从燃烧室仅为2英尺（0.6米）的住宅供暖系统的炉子到燃烧室高度为100英尺（30米）的高炉炉子。通常，自激振荡只会在某些操作条件下发生。在小型设备（如熔炉）中，它们可能仅在启动期间短暂出现；但由于辐射噪声的极端烦扰，即使这样也完全不可接受。在大型系统中，例如高炉炉子，不仅存在烦恼，而且存在足够大的声压，足以破坏砖墙并造成生理损伤。本文介绍了防止燃烧振荡的理论基础。一份公司论文（参考文献1）提供了一些实验数据，以及用于此目的的测试技术。 引文:研讨会论文，佐治亚州亚特兰大，1978年

Oscillatory combustion is a source of abnormal combustion noise which can occur in virtually anytype of combustion system ranging from furnaces for residential heating systems with combustionchambers measuring only 2 ft. (0.6 m) to blast furnace stoves with combustion chambers standing100 ft. (30 m) tall. Typically, self-excited oscillations will only occur under some operatingconditions. In small devices, such as furnaces, they may occur only briefly during start-up;but even this is totally unacceptable because of the extreme annoyance of the radiated noise.In large systems, such as blast furnace stoves, there is not only annoyance, but sound pressureof sufficient magnitude to destroy the brickwork and cause physiological damage.This paper presents the theoretical basis for preventing combustion oscillations. A companionpaper (Ref. 1) provides some experimental data,and test techniques for this purpose.
