Abstract: The impact of different ignition sequences on the ignition dynamics of CH4-H2 flames in a bluff body burner is investigated at atmospheric conditions. Experiments are performed over a wide range of operating conditions ...

Abstract: Ammonia is a promising hydrogen and energy carrier but also a challenging fuel to use in gas turbines, due to its low flame speed, limited flammability range, and the production of NOx from fuel-bound nitrogen. Previous ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the effect of strong azimuthal swirl on ignition dynamics in a laboratoryscale annular combustor. Bulk azimuthal swirl was produced by a novel angled injector configuration, producing swirling ...

Abstract: We investigate the occurrence and source of modulations in the gain and phase of flame transfer functions (FTF) measured in perfectly premixed, bluff body stabilized CH4/H2 and pure H2 flames. The modulations are shown to ...
