Swirling flows are of considerable practical importance. They are used for example to
increase heat transfer in pipes or to stabilize flames at a distance from the injector unit by …

Thermoacoustic combustion instability is one of the most challenging operational issues in
several high-performance, low-emissions combustion technologies, including gas turbines …

The heat release distribution, combustion instability characteristics and flow dynamics of
lean swirl-stabilized flames of hydrogen enriched natural gas were studied using time …

Numerical simulation of a dual-swirl gas turbine model combustor is performed under cold
and reacting flow conditions using a three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier …

Effects of swirl divergence cup and the central bluff body on premixed flame response with
external excitation are experimentally investigated. Flame transfer functions (FTFs) …

This paper presents bifurcation analyses characterising the nonlinear dynamics of fully
developed laminar annular jets with respect to the centrebody diameter is increased …

Vortex breakdown (VB) in unconfined swirling jets occurs as either a bubble form of vortex
breakdown (BVB) or a conical form of vortex breakdown (CVB). This computational study …

The transient dynamics of the precessing vortex core (PVC), a globally unstable mode, in an
intermittently shape-transitioning swirl flame is investigated by means of simultaneous OH …

In a centrally-staged combustor, the stratified swirling flame often manifests a helical mode,
which is characterized by the emergence of helical vortices, including the precessing vortex …

This paper presents the results of a parametric experimental study of free swirling flow at the
exit of a flat-vane axial swirler. A total of 16 data sets were acquired by combining four …
