Swirl stabilized combustion is a technology which, for stationary combustion, consumes
more than 70 to 80% of the world's fossil fuels. There have been many reviews of this …

Swirling flame dynamics is investigated using a radial swirler equipped with movable
blades. This device allows to continuously change the swirl number and to examine various …

This paper reviews the occurrence of the precessing vortex core (PVC) and other
instabilities, which occur in, swirl combustion systems whilst identifying mechanisms, which …

The most common and reliable technique used for flame stabilization of industrial
combustors with high thermal loads is the application of strongly swirling flows. In addition to …

This paper first reviews recent ideas that explain why swirl has a strong stabilizing effect on
a flame. Then some measurements are discussed that were obtained using a complex gas …

Combustion instabilities have long been a source of significant problems for premixed
combustion systems 1-7. These instabilities occur when unsteady heat release couples with …

Combustion instability is a serious problem limiting the operating envelope of present day
gas turbine systems using a lean premixed combustion strategy. Gas turbine combustors …

swirl combustors have demonstrated that they can effectively stabilise flames across a wide
range of operating conditions due to established, widely known but not fully understood swirl …

Combustion instabilities represent a long known problem in combustion technology. The
complex interactions between acoustics and turbulent swirling flames are not fully …

The demand for alternative fuels has increased significantly during the previous decades in
order to reduce pollutants and increase the amount of energy that can be generated from …
