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 …

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 …

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 …

Large eddy simulations (LES) using a subgrid mixing and combustion model are carried out
to study two bluff-body stabilized swirling non-premixed flames (SM1 and SMA2). The …

The combustion induced and vorticity driven instability behaviour of a lean flame within a
premixed combustion system under typical gas turbine conditions is investigated …

LUFF body stabilized turbulent premixed flames represent a canonical arrangement that has
been examined in depth by a number of experimental and computational studies. Bluff body …

The regulations on the emissions from combustion devices are getting more and more strict
for environmental and human health reasons. Modern combustion research faces two major …

Swirling flows have been widely used to stabilize lean premixed combustion in various gas
turbines and furnaces. In such flows, understanding and characterizing the flame …

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 …

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 …
