Values of local flow properties, obtained by solving appropriate conservation equations in
finite-difference form and with boundary conditions corresponding to four furnace …

Measured values of the velocity characteristics of turbulent, confined, coaxial-jet flows have
been obtained, without swirl, for ratios of maximum annulus to pipe velocities of 1.0 and 3.0 …

Understanding of lean blowout (LBO) phenomenon, along with the sensing and control
strategies could enable the gas turbine combustor designers to design combustors with …

The velocity characteristics of a turbulent, confined, coaxial-jet flow have been determined
by measurement and by the solution of conservation equations in differential form. The ratios …

This work focuses on the simulation of turbulent swirling flows within the framework of
second-moment closure. The main objectives are to assess the performance of currently …

The influence of the atomization characteristics on the combustion of heavy oil is
investigated. Combustion tests are conducted in an experimental furnace with a thermal …

The flow characteristics and mixing properties of the swirling double-concentric jets subject
to the influences of a control disk installed at a short distance above the primary disk were …

This work examines the evolution of the lean blowout (LBO) process in a swirl-
dumpstabilized combustor with center body. Previous studies identified extinction-reignition …

Modern gas turbines are operated with lean fuel mixtures causing instabilities of the heat
release and, by means of a thermoacoustic coupling, oscillations of the flow velocity within …

The experimental and computational work reported here is intended to improve
understanding of the properties of axisymmetric, gas-fired furnaces. To this end …
