Abstract: Consistent ignition of reactive mixtures in turbulent conditions continues to be a challenge, particularly for large, multicomponent fuels. Prior work has shown that turbulence can affect ignition parameters such as flame ...

Abstract: Radiation transfer from turbulent nonpremixed jet flames and plumes is important in many applications such as energyefficient combustion systems, temperature sensitive pollutant control, and detection, control, and suppression ...

Abstract: In advanced gas turbine engines that feature very short combustor sections, an issue of fuelrich gases interacting with the downstream turbine components can exist. Specifically, in combustors with high fueltoair ratios, ...

Abstract: Reducing the weight and decreasing pressure losses of aviation gas turbine engines improves the thrusttoweight ratio and improves efficiency. In ultracompact combustors (UCC), engine length is reduced and pressure losses ...
