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: 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 ...

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 ...
