Detailed numerical simulation of primary atomization by crossflow under gas turbine engine combustor conditions

3-D Numerical Simulation of Gas Turbine Combustor

This paper presents a numerical solution for a changing combustor geometry. The effects of the geometric change on the main parameters of the chamber are considered. For this purpose the original geometry and the new one are simulated numerically by a 3-D CFD code and the results are compared. Finally, comments are presented regarding this change. A model is used for turbulence modeling and a...

Detailed Numerical Simulations of the Primary Atomization of a Turbulent Liquid Jet in Crossflow

This paper presents numerical simulation results of the primary atomization of a turbulent liquid jet injected into a gaseous crossflow. Simulations are performed using the balanced force refined level set grid method. The phase interface during the initial breakup phase is tracked by a level set method on a separate refined grid. A balanced force finite volume algorithm together with an interf...
