Investigation of Radial Swirler Effect on Flow Pattern inside a Gas Turbine Combustor

Numerical Simulation of a Confined Swirling Flow in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

Cold Flow Investigation of Primary Zone Characteristics in Combustor Utilizing Axial Air Swirler

This paper presents a cold flow simulation study of a small gas turbine combustor performed using laboratory scale test rig. The main objective of this investigation is to obtain physical insight of the main vortex, responsible for the efficient mixing of fuel and air. Such models are necessary for predictions and optimization of real gas turbine combustors. Air swirler can control the combusto...

A Multiple Inlet Swirler for Gas Turbine Combustors

The central recirculation zone (CRZ) in a swirl stabilized gas turbine combustor has a dominant effect on the fuel air mixing process and flame stability. Most of state of the art swirlers share one disadvantage; the fixed swirl number for the same swirler configuration. Thus, in a mathematical sense, Reynolds number becomes the sole parameter for controlling the flow characteristics inside the...

Parametric Modelling System of Gas Turbine Combustor

Original scientific paper In the numerical simulation research of gas turbine combustor, there are plenty repetitive operations such as modelling and meshing. Parametric design idea is about simplifying it. This paper establishes a parametric modelling system of gas turbine combustor, mainly for the flame tube components, which includes parametric modelling and simple mesh generation. Taking a ...
