Modern lean burn combustors now employ aggressive swirlers to enhance fuel-air mixing
and improve flame stability. The flow at combustor exit can therefore have high residual …

Recently developed lean-burn combustors offer reduced NO x emissions for gas turbines.
The flow at exit of lean-burn combustors is dominated by hot streaks and residual swirl …

Swirling flows are now widely being used in modern gas turbine combustors to improve the
combustion characteristics, flame stability, and reduce emissions. Residual swirl at the …

Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analyses were conducted on the film-cooled first stage vane
of GE-E 3 engine to reveal the influences of inlet swirl and hot streak (HS) on vane film …

In order to deepen the knowledge of the interaction between modern lean burn combustors
and high pressure turbines, a real scale annular three sector combustor simulator has been …

In new generation aero-engines, lean-burn combustors are equipped with swirl injectors in
order to reduce pollutant emissions. At the exit of these combustors, the flow is dominated by …

This paper describes a new engine-parts facility at the University of Oxford for high
technology-readiness-level research, new technology demonstration, and for engine …

By enhancing the premixing of fuel and air prior to combustion, recently developed lean-
burn combustor systems have led to reduced NO x and particulate emissions in gas …

This paper presents a novel trajectory generation technique, which has the capability to
avoid excitation of inertial vibrations in precision manufacturing equipment. A major source …

Abstract The Oxford Probe is an open access five-hole probe designed for experimental
aerodynamic measurements. The open access probe can be manufactured by the end user …
