Abstract: The effect of centrifugal force on flame propagation velocity of stoichiometric propane–, kerosene–, and noctane–air turbulent premixed flames was numerically examined. The quasiturbulent numerical model was set in ...

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: 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: This work presents an on-design component-level multiple-objective optimization of a small-scaled uncooled cavity-stabilized combustor. Optimization is performed at the maximum power condition of the engine thermodynamic ...
