Simultaneous OH-PLIF and PIV measurements in a gas turbine model combustor

Multi-Intensity-Layer PIV application to a Gas Turbine Combustor

The new technique ‘Multi-Intensity-Layer PIV’ was applied to a gas turbine combustor to detect the instantaneous droplet distribution and its behavior. Mie scattering theory is applied to the conventional Particle Image Velocimetry and the technique enables us to detect the instantaneous planar droplet velocity and size information. This M-PIV technique was evaluated with a generally used indus...

Measurements of Conditional Velocities in Turbulent Premixed Flames by Simultaneous OH PLIF and PIV

Joint velocity/scalar imaging measurements are performed in turbulent premixed natural-gas/air flames to better characterize the turbulent flux of mean reaction progress variable, ru0c0. Simultaneous two-dimensional measurements of the velocity field and the relative OH concentration are obtained by particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of the OH radical,...

Acoustic Behavior of a Partially-Premixed Gas Turbine Model Combustor

Combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines often give rise to acoustic resonances. These resonances occur as manifestations of different acoustic modes, of which a single or multiple modes may be present. In this work, the acoustic behavior of a model gas turbine combustor, developed at DLR Stuttgart by Meier, was investigated using both syn(thetic) gas and standard hydrocarbon fuels. Syng...
