Pollutant emissions from aircraft in the vicinity of airports and at altitude are of great public
concern due to their impact on environment and human health. The legislations aimed at …

This paper reviews recent advances in understanding the structure of turbulent partially
premixed and stratified flames. The term “partially premixed” refers here to compositionally …

A detailed analysis of the flow–flame interactions associated with acoustically coupled heat-
release rate fluctuations was performed for a 10kW, CH4/air, swirl stabilized flame in a gas …

Combustion instabilities are often manifested in modern fuel-lean gas turbine combustors.
Investigating the mechanisms and developing control strategies for combustion instabilities …

The feasibility of applying the large-eddy simulation (LES) of spray combustion to the
investigation of the thermo-acoustic instability mechanisms in practical aero-engine …

A strong, naturally-occurring “growl” combustion instability was studied for the case of a lean
premixed prevaporized (LPP) combustor that shows great promise in reducing pollutant …

Line-imaged measurements of temperature and major species, based on well-established
Raman/Rayleigh/CO-LIF techniques, are used to better understand the scalar structure of …

A Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model capable of accurately representing finite-rate
chemistry effects in turbulent premixed combustion is presented. The LES computations use …

The present article investigates the interactions between the pilot and main flames in a novel
stratified swirl burner using both experimental and numerical methods. Experiments are …

Swirl combustion, whether of gaseous fuels or sprays, forms the basis of many thermal
power generation systems and to effective design and optimisation of these complex …
