This chapter aims to provide a broad overview on the importance of lifted flames in turbulent
flows with and without swirl in practical applications for energy production and propulsion …

ABSTRACT A swirl-stabilised flame close to blow-off conditions in a gas turbine model
combustor is investigated using large eddy simulation. The sub-grid combustion is modelled …

Premixed and partially premixed lean combustion is utilised in modern gas turbine systems,
since an improved efficiency and lower flame temperatures can be achieved, thereby …

The dynamics in a swirl-stabilized flame is studied using large eddy simulation (LES). We
account for the effect of turbulence on the flame through a model based on a filtered flamelet …

The flame in a gas turbine model combustor close to blow-off is studied using large eddy
simulation with the objective of investigating the sensitivity of including different heat loss …

Modern gas turbines usually adopt very lean premixed flames to meet the current strict law
restrictions on nitric oxides emissions. In such devices, strong combustion instabilities and …

The accurate prediction of the turbulent combustion process in lean burn flames is of primary
importance in the design of gas turbine low-emission combustors. In this framework, the …

Flame stabilization and the mechanisms that govern the dynamics at the flame base of lifted
flames have been subject to numerous studies in recent years. A combined Large Eddy …

The present work performs a detailed numerical simulation of a non-premixed turbulent
reacting jet at low Reynolds and Froude numbers to investigate the dynamical interaction …

Pilot flames, created by additional injectors of pure fuel, are often used in turbulent burners
to enhance flame stabilization and reduce combustion instabilities. The exact mechanisms …
