1 Advanced computational methods in identification of thermo-acoustic systems A thesis accepted by the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and Geodesy of the Universität Stuttgart in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences (Dr.-Ing.) by Dipl.-Ing. Krzysztof Kostrzewa born in Poznan Main referee: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Manfred Aigner Co-referee: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Franz Joos thDate of defence: 17 Dezember 2010 Institute of Combustion Technology for Aerospace Engineering University of Stuttgart 2011 II 3 Acknowledgments This thesis emerged from the studies I conducted during my employment with the Institute of Combustion Technology (VT) at DLR in Stuttgart between 2003 and 2007. It is the result of an applied research, which had many contributors to its success. First of all, I would like to acknowledge the support and help of numerous people, without whom this thesis would not have been ever possible: My warmest thanks to Siemens AG from Mülheim an der Ruhr and DLR from Stuttgart for providing the funding and equipment to undertake this project. Especially I would like to mention here Dr. -Ing. Michael Huth and Dr. -Ing. Werner Krebs from Siemens AG, Prof. Dr. -Ing. Manfred Aigner and Dr. -Ing. habil.
