Velocity and Scalar Measurements in Model and Real Gas Torbine Combustors

  • Chapter
Instrumentation for Combustion and Flow in Engines

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 154))

Abstract

This paper reviews recent measurements and the consequent understandings on the fundamental processes of the flow, mixing and combustion in turbulent reacting flows typical of gas-turbine combustors. The emphasis is on highly recirculating, swirling, non-premixed flames within model and real combustors but isothermal flows relevant to gas-turbine combustors are also analysed.

Finally the capabilities of optical and probe techniques for making measurements in gas-turbine combustors are discussed on the basis of the results of Heitor and Whitelaw (1986) in terms of the contributions that they can make to improve knowledge on the theory and modelling of these flows.
