Abstract: The widely used gas turbine combustor double-walled cooling scheme relies on very small pedestals. In a combustor it is impractical for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to resolve each pedestal individually as that would ...

Abstract: In gas turbines, combustor inlets are characterized by significant levels of unsteady circumferential distortion due to compressor wakes and secondary flows, together with additional radial nonuniformity induced by the ...
