Abstract: Indirect noise generated by the acceleration of combustion inhomogeneities is an important aspect in the design of aero-engines because of its impact on the overall noise emitted by an aircraft and the possible contribution ...

Abstract: The desire to reduce gas turbine emissions drives the use of design optimization approaches within the combustor design process. However, the relative cost of combustion simulations can prohibit such optimizations from ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation is conducted to shed light on the reasons leading to different flame configurations in gas turbine (GT) combustion chambers of aeronautical interest. Large eddy simulations (LES) with a flamelet-based ...

Abstract: To manage the increasing turbine temperatures of future gas turbines a cooled cooling air system has been proposed. In such a system some of the compressor efflux is diverted for additional cooling in a heat exchanger (HX) ...

Abstract: In this work, a single sector lean burn model combustor operating in pilot only mode has been investigated using both experiments and computations with the main objective of analyzing the flame structure and soot formation ...

Abstract: The prometheus combustor design system aims to reduce the complexity of evaluating combustor designs by automatically defining preprocessing, simulation, and postprocessing tasks based on the automatic identification of ...
