Trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is different from conventional swirl-stabilized combustors. It
takes advantages of a cavity to stabilize the flame. When the cavity size of a TVC is well …

The use of fossil fuel is expected to increase significantly by midcentury because of the large
rise in the world energy demand despite the effective integration of renewable energies in …

The precessing vortex core (PVC) is a coherent flow structure that is often encountered in
swirling flows in gas turbine (GT) combustors. In some swirl combustors, it has been …

The tremendous increase in energy demand due to increased population and rapid
economics results in an increased level of atmospheric pollutants and global warming. The …

A commercial swirl burner for industrial gas turbine combustors was equipped with an
optically accessible combustion chamber and installed in a high-pressure test-rig. Several …

Chemiluminescence has been observed since the beginning of spectroscopy, nevertheless,
important facts still remain unknown. Especially, reaction pathways leading to …

The clogging behavior of particles is a ubiquitous phenomenon. In slurry support, the
clogging behavior of slurry particles is expected to occur rapidly, but the microscopic …

Sudden changes of flame shape are an undesired, yet poorly understood feature of swirl
combustors used in gas turbines. The present work studies flame shape transition …

The flame describing function is a valuable tool for the limit-cycle prediction of
thermoacoustic instabilities, which are frequently observed in modern gas turbines. In these …

This work presents an accelerated simulation of heat and mass transfer by coupling Discrete
Element Methodologies (DEMs) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), utilising …
