Abstract: This work presents the results of a numerical analysis performed on a gas turbine leading edge cooling system. The investigation was carried out in order to provide a detailed interpretation of the outcomes of a parallel ...

Abstract: An array of jets is an arrangement typically used to cool several gas turbine parts. Some examples of such applications can be found in the impingement cooling systems of turbine blades and vanes or in the turbine blade ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation of pollutant emissions of a novel dry low-emissions burner for heavy-duty gas turbine applications is presented. The objective of this work is to develop and assess a robust and cost-efficient ...

Abstract: Effusion cooling represents the state-of-the-art for liner cooling technology in modern combustion chambers, combining a more uniform film protection of the wall and a significant heat sink effect by forced convection ...

Abstract: The analysis of the interaction between the swirling and cooling flows, promoted by the liner film cooling system, is a fundamental task for the design of turbine combustion chambers since it influences different aspects ...

Abstract: Carbondioxide at supercritical state shows particularly favorable thermodynamic properties for closed-loop Brayton and Rankine cycles. High density, close to a liquid, and low viscosity, close to a gas, drive to achieve ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the impact of natural gas composition on both the operability and emissions of lean premixed gas turbine combustion system. This is an issue of growing interest due to the challenge for gas turbine ...

Abstract: Over the course of the years, several turbulence models specifically developed to improve the predicting capabilities of conventional twoequations Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models have been proposed. They ...

Abstract: The design of modern gas turbines cooling systems cannot be separated from the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the accurate estimation of the effect of film cooling. Nevertheless, a complete modeling of film ...

Abstract: Leanburn swirl stabilized combustors represent the key technology to reduce NOx emissions in modern aircraft engines. The high amount of air admitted through a leanburn injection system is characterized by very complex ...
