A comparative study has been performed to nvestigate the flow nstabilities and their nteractions n a non-premixed methane jet flame using highly accurate numerical methods. The nteraction between the jet flapping modes and buoyancy nstability has been examined by comparing a full three-dimensional case and an idealised axisymmetric case, in order to identify the three-dimensional effects on the vortex dynamics. In addition, air co-flow flames have been numericaly simulated to nvestigate the interaction between the shear and buoyancy nstabilities. It was found that three-dimensional effects dominate the flame dynamics at downstream locations, where the flame exhibits transitional behaviour. The axisymmetric simulation is only able to capture the flow dynamics close to the jet nozzle exit. The air co-flow tends to stabilise the flame and to reduce the flame unsteadiness, which may also have an mpact on the flickering frequency. Three-dimensional effects can greatly affect the strength of flame oscillation energy at downstream locations, where the flapping modes enhance the flame unsteadiness. On the contrary, co-flow tends to reduce the strength of flame oscillation, especialy at upstream locations.
