LES of swirling flows in gas turbine combustion chambers

Abstract
The flow and mixing in a swirl-stabilized gas-turbine burner is studied by Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Each swirler has a different mass flux and swirl angle. The interaction between neighbouring jets is studied, co-rotating and counter rotating jets are considered. Another issue of importance is related to the jet inlet conditions (e.g. axial distribution and levels of turbulence). In addition to the flow field (using LES) we present results related to fuel/air mixing under different conditions. We show that the LES results can resolve several issues related to the burner that cannot be accounted for by the standard RANS computations.
