Title: Thermoacoustic instabilities of coaxial jet combustor; computational studies using LES
Swirl combustion is encountered in many engineering applications since it provides efficient fuel burning. Experimental studies of turbulent swirl combustion poses challenges due to unsteady nature of the combustion phenomenon. Therefore, computational approaches are a promising alternative for the numerical studies of supersonic combustion. The present studies concerns the computational studies of swirl combustion, particularly the effect of the injection scheme on the combustion efficiency and flame stability. Therefore, the effect of the air-fuel ratio on the combustion efficiency and flame stability is subject of investigation. The combustion efficiency is assessed based on the temperature developed inside the swirl combustor. The computations are carried out using the large-eddy simulation (LES) approach along with the flamelet combustion model. The analysis reveals the unsteady nature of the flame and thus, its departure from the core of the combustor. The analysis also reveals the presence of a region of high level of temperature, NO and2CO , inside the combustor.  more » « less

    Swirl combustion is one of the most efficient approach to efficient combustion processes and therefore, it has received great interest particularly from aerospace industry. Swirl combustion has been studied in the past both experimentally and computationally. However, in spite of the extended studies, the swirl combustion is still not well understood and therefore, further studies are required. One of the open questions in the swirl combustion is the effect of the swirl number on the combustion efficiency and instabilities. Over decades, extensive experimental and computational studies of swirl combustion have been performed. The experimental studies of swirl combustion are quite challenging due to the unsteady nature of the combustion process. To overcome these challenges, computational studies have been used in the study of turbulent combustion. The present study concerns the effect of the swirl number on the combustion efficiency and flame stability. The combustion efficiency is assessed based on the temperature developed inside the combustion chamber and NOx levels. The effect of air/fuel blowing ratio on the combustion efficiency and instability is also investigated in this research. The computations are carried out using the large-eddy simulation (LES) approach along with the flamelet combustion model. The analysis reveals the unsteady nature of the flame and thus, its departure from the core of the combustor. The analysis also reveals the presence of a region of high level of temperature, NO and2CO , inside the combustor

    Abstract Combustion instability, which is the result of a coupling between combustor acoustic modes and unsteady flame heat release rate, is a severely limiting factor in the operability and performance of modern gas turbine engines. This coupling can occur through different pathways, such as flow-field fluctuations or equivalence ratio fluctuations. In realistic combustor systems, there are complex hydrodynamic and thermo-chemical processes involved, which can lead to multiple coupling pathways. In order to understand and predict the mechanisms that govern the onset of combustion instability in real gas turbine engines, we consider the influences that each of these coupling pathways can have on the stability and dynamics of a partially premixed, swirl-stabilized flame. In this study, we use a model gas turbine combustor with two concentric swirling nozzles of air, separated by a ring of fuel injectors, operating at an elevated pressure of 5 bar. The flow split between the two streams is systematically varied to observe the impact on the flow and flame dynamics. High-speed stereoscopic particle image velocimetry, OH planar laser-induced fluorescence, and acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence are used to obtain information about the velocity field, flame, and fuel-flow behavior, respectively. Depending on the flow conditions, a thermoacoustic oscillation mode or a hydrodynamic mode, identified as the precessing vortex core, is present. The focus of this study is to characterize the mixture coupling processes in this partially premixed flame as well as the impact that the velocity oscillations have on mixture coupling. Our results show that, for this combustor system, changing the flow split between the two concentric nozzles can alter the dominant harmonic oscillation modes in the system, which can significantly impact the dispersion of fuel into air, thereby modulating the local equivalence ratio of the flame. This insight can be used to design instability control mechanisms in real gas turbine engines.

    Swirl-stabilized flames are used in many gas turbine combustor configurations due to their enhanced static stability. The effects of combustor geometry, fuel composition, and bulk velocity on flame stability in swirling flows are well studied, but the effects of centerbody temperature have not been rigorously considered. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of centerbody temperature on flame shape and dynamics. A newly instrumented variable-angle swirl-stabilized combustor was used to perform a repeatability study, and blowoff equivalence ratio was measured at centerbody temperatures ranging from 150 to 350°C and bulk velocities ranging from 16 to 55 m/s. Blowoff equivalence ratio generally decreases with centerbody temperature. Two structures were observed during blowoff: a cone shape and flame chugging. Blowoff equivalence ratio was consistently lower when the cone structure occurred, though the mechanism that excites these behaviors is still under investigation.

    Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel, has moderate energy but high viscosity, making clean combustion challenging. Quickly evaporating fine fuel sprays mix well with air and burn cleanly and efficiently. Unlike conventional air-blast atomizers discharging a jet core/film, a newly developed swirl burst (SB) injector generates fine sprays at the injector’s immediate exit, even for high-viscosity fuels, without preheating, using a unique two-phase atomization mechanism. It thus resulted in ultra-clean combustion for glycerol/methanol (G/M) blends, with complete combustion for G/M of 50/50 ratios by heat release rate (HRR). Lower combustion efficiencies were observed for G/M 60/40 and 70/30, representing crude glycerol. Hence, this study investigates the effect of premixed methane amount from 0–3 kW, and the effect of atomizing gas to liquid mass ratio (ALR) on the dual-fuel combustion efficiency of G/M 60/40-methane in a 7-kW lab-scale swirl-stabilized gas turbine combustor to facilitate crude glycerol use. Results show that more methane and increased ALR cause varying flame lift-off height, length, and gas product temperature. Regardless, mainly lean-premixed combustion, near-zero CO and NOx emissions (≤2 ppm), and ~100% combustion efficiency are enabled for all the cases by SB atomization with the assistance of a small amount of methane.
