Abstract: The fundamental impact of the precessing vortex core (PVC) as a dominant coherent flow structure in the flow field of swirl-stabilized gas turbine combustors has still not been investigated in depth. In order to do so, the ...

Abstract: The precessing vortex core (PVC) represents a helical-shaped coherent flow structure typically occurring in both reacting and nonreacting swirling flows. Until now, the fundamental impact of the PVC on flame dynamics, ...

Abstract: The reduction of NOx emissions remains a driving factor in the design process of swirl-stabilized combustion systems, to meet legislative restrictions. In reacting swirl flows, hydrodynamic coherent structures, such as ...

Abstract: In order to determine the flame transfer function of a combustion system, different mechanisms have been identified that need to be modeled. This study focuses on the generation and propagation of one of these mechanisms, ...

Abstract: Shockless explosion combustor (SEC) is a promising concept for implementing pressure gain combustion into a conventional gas turbine cycle. This concept aims for a quasi-homogeneous auto-ignition that induces a moderate ...

Abstract: To achieve the decarbonization of electrical power generation, gas turbines need to be upgraded to combust high-hydrogen content fuels reliably. One of the main challenges in this upgrade is the burner design. A promising ...
