Abstract: The effect of centrifugal force on flame propagation velocity of stoichiometric propane–, kerosene–, and noctane–air turbulent premixed flames was numerically examined. The quasiturbulent numerical model was set in ...

Abstract: This work presents an opensource autonomous computational fluid dynamics (CFD) metamodeling environment (OpenACME) for smallscale combustor design optimization in a deterministic and continuous design space. OpenACME couples ...

Abstract: This work presents an on-design component-level multiple-objective optimization of a small-scaled uncooled cavity-stabilized combustor. Optimization is performed at the maximum power condition of the engine thermodynamic ...

Abstract: This work presents fully coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and thermodynamic cycle analyses of a small-scale turbojet engine at several conditions along the equilibrium running line. The CFD simulations ...

Abstract: A novel parallelized, automated, and predictive imprint cooling model (PAPRICO) was developed for modeling of combustor liners using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS). The methodology involves removing the film and ...

Abstract: The effects of effusion and film cooling momenta on combustor flow fields are investigated. Steady, compressible three-dimensional (3D) simulations are performed on a single-swirler combustor using Reynolds-averaged ...

Abstract: A numerical optimization study is performed on a small-scale high-swirl cavity-stabilized combustor. A parametric geometry is created in cad software that is coupled with meshing software. The latter automatically transfers ...
