Gas dynamics of reactive gases in swirling-type furnace

Influence of Thermal Radiation Models on Prediction of Reactive Swirling Methane/Air Flame in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

 A numerical simulation of reactive swirling methane/air non-premixed flame in a new three-dimensional model combustion chamber is carried out to assess the performance of two thermal radiation models, namely, the Discrete Transfer Radiation Model and the P-1 Model. A Finite Volume staggered grid approach is employed to solve the governing equations.The second-order upwind scheme is applied for...

Dynamics and Control of a Gas-fired Furnace

A non-linear model has been developed for a gas-fired furnace in which oil is heated. The model is applicable from minimum to maximum heat load of the furnace. The dynamics of the model have been compared to experimental results, which were obtained for a pilot-scale furnace. They are in good agreement. A cascade control with feed-forward action has been compared to single feed-back control. Pr...

The unstable spectrum of swirling gas flows

The asymptotic structure of the discrete spectrum of a compressible inviscid swirling flow with arbitrary radial distributions of density, pressure and velocity is described for disturbances with large wavenumbers. It is shown that discrete eigenmodes are unstable when a criterion derived by Eckhoff & Storesletten (1978) is satisfied. In general, these modes are characterized by a length scale ...

Numerical Simulation of a Confined Swirling Flow in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

Gas Evolution Dynamics in Godunov-Type Schemes

As a continuous eeort to understand the Godunov-type schemes, following the paper \Projection in this paper we are going to study the gas evolution dynamics of the exact and approximate Riemann solvers. More speciically, the underlying dynamics of Flux Vector Splitting (FVS) and Flux Diierence Splitting (FDS) schemes will be analyzed. Since the FVS scheme and the Kinetic Flux Vector Splitting (...
