Implementing pressure gain combustion into a conventional gas turbine is a promising way
to achieve an increase in its thermal efficiency. One concept, among others, that aims for a
pressure gain combustion is the Shockless Explosion Combustor (SEC). This concept aims
for a periodic process in which a quasi-homogeneous autoignition is achieved inside a
combustor. Therefore, a stratified fuel profile is injected into a convecting air flow. This allows
for the compensation of differences in residence time by an axial stratification of the …
