Heat Transfer and Flow Characteristic Study in a Low Emission Annular CombustorSedalor, Teddy 04 June 2010 (has links)
Modern Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustors are characterized by highly swirling and expanding flows that makes the convective heat load on the combustor liner gas side difficult to predict and estimate. A coupled experimental-numerical study of swirling flow and its effects on combustor liner heat transfer inside a DLE annular combustor model is presented. A simulated scaled up annular combustor shell was designed with a generic fuel nozzle provided by Solar Turbines to create the swirl in the flow. The experiment was simulated with a cold flow and heated walls. An infrared camera was used to obtain the temperature distribution along the liner wall. Experimentally measured pressure distributions were compared with the heat transfer results. The experiment was conducted at various Reynolds Numbers to investigate the effect on the heat transfer peak locations and pressure distributions. A CFD study was performed using Fluent and turbulence models and used to corroborate and verify the experimental results. Results show that the heat transfer enhancement in the annulus has slightly different characteristics for the concave and convex walls. Results also show a much slower drop in heat transfer coefficient enhancement with increasing Reynolds number compared to can combustors from a previous study. An introductory study of the effect of a soft wall on the heat transfer on the combustor liner is also presented. / Master of Science

Density-based unstructured simulations of gas-turbine combustor flowsAlmutlaq, Ahmed N. January 2007 (has links)
The goal of the present work was to identify and implement modifications to a density-based unstructured RANS CFD algorithm, as typically used in turbomachinery flows (represented here via the RoIIs-Royce 'Hydra' code), for application to Iow Mach number gas-turbine combustor flows. The basic algorithm was modified to make it suitable for combustor relevant problems. Fixed velocity and centreline boundary conditions were added using a characteristic based method. Conserved scalar mean and variance transport equations were introduced to predict scalar mixing in reacting flows. Finally, a flarnelet thermochemistry model for turbulent non-premixed combustion with an assumed shape pdf for turbulence-chemistry interaction was incorporated. A method was identified whereby the temperature/ density provided by the combustion model was coupled directly back into the momentum equations rather than from the energy equation. Three different test cases were used to validate the numerical capabilities of the modified code, for isothermal and reacting flows on different grid types. The first case was the jet in confined cross flow associated with combustor liner-dilution jetcore flow interaction. The second was the swirling flow through a multi-stream swirler. These cases represent the main aerodynamic features of combustor primary zones. The third case was a methane-fueled coaxial jet combustor to assess the combustion model implementation. This study revealed that, via appropriate modifications, an unstructured density-based approach can be utilised to simulate combustor flows. It also demonstrated that unstructured meshes employing nonhexahedral elements were inefficient at accurate capture of flow processes in regions combining rapid mixing and strong convection at angles to cell edges. The final version of the algorithm demonstrated that low Mach RANS reacting flow simulations, commonly performed using a pressure-based approach, can successfully be reproduced using a density-based approach.

Heat Transfer and Flow Measurements in Gas Turbine Engine Can and Annular CombustorsCarmack, Andrew Cardin 31 May 2012 (has links)
A comparison study between axial and radial swirler performance in a gas turbine can combustor was conducted by investigating the correlation between combustor flow field geometry and convective heat transfer at cold flow conditions for Reynolds numbers of 50,000 and 80,000. Flow velocities were measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) along the center axial plane and radial cross sections of the flow. It was observed that both swirlers produced a strong rotating flow with a reverse flow core. The axial swirler induced larger recirculation zones at both the backside wall and the central area as the flow exits the swirler, and created a much more uniform rotational velocity distribution. The radial swirler however, produced greater rotational velocity as well as a thicker and higher velocity reverse flow core. Wall heat transfer and temperature measurements were also taken. Peak heat transfer regions directly correspond to the location of the flow as it exits each swirler and impinges on the combustor liner wall.
Convective heat transfer was also measured along the liner wall of a gas turbine annular combustor fitted with radial swirlers for Reynolds numbers 210000, 420000, and 840000. The impingement location of the flow exiting from the radial swirler resulted in peak heat transfer regions along the concave wall of the annular combustor. The convex side showed peak heat transfer regions above and below the impingement area. This behavior is due to the recirculation zones caused by the interaction between the swirlers inside the annulus. / Master of Science
