Abstract: An experimental study is conducted on bluff-body stabilized premixed flames in a curved, square cross section duct. High flow velocities coupled with a small radius of curvature of the duct induce high centrifugal acceleration ...

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 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 ...
