The modified two-equation model and the EDC turbulent combustion model are used for the gas phase. The liquid phase equations are solved in a Lagrangian frame of reference by PSIC algorithm. The effect of different velocity profiles at the entry of the prediffuser on combustor flow characteristics is calculated.展开更多

Swirl cup, as an air blast atomizer, is widely used to provide a uniform presentation of fuel droplets to the combustor dome. This paper investigated the effect of secondary swirler on the flow field down- stream of the swirl cup using particle image velocimetry （PIV）. Three swirl cups＇ non-reacting flow field were studied： case A, B and C with secondary swirler vane angle 53°, 60° and 68° respectively. Detailed mean and transient velocities and vorticity in the center plane were obtained. From the PIV results, a sharp contrast flow field was obtained for case A to other two cases due to the lower secondary swirling intensity. The recirculation zone is collapsed in disorder for the case A. Ignition tests of the three cups were completed in a single cup com- bustor. In general, the ignition performance increases with the increasing of the secondary swirling intensity. For case A, the ignition performance is very unstable and has much randomness and there is no clear lean ignition boundary can be generated. This work can further understand the swirl behavior and ignition mechanism.展开更多
