Flow and Combustion in Future Gas Turbine Combustion Chambers
The global aim of Collaborative Research Centre 568 “Flow and Combustion in Future Gas Turbine Combustion Chambers”, is the formulation and validation of a comprehensive integral model for the development and optimisation of new gas turbine combustion chamber concepts. The comprehensive integral model comprises four main elements:
- 1. Submodels of physical/chemical mechanisms and interactions
- 2. Suitable numerical methods
- 3. Consideration of basic conditions and neighbouring components and interactions
- 4. Implementation of targeted validation experiments
In order to realise these goals, the phenomena which occur must be subdivided according to various viewpoints, in order for clear sub-problems to be seen and worked on in separate sub-projects. The geometric complexity of the object being investigated and the recording methods in various areas of subsiding thermofluid-dynamic and/or reaction-kinetic phenomena offer a starting point for this.
One must consider, however, that individual sub-problems are closely linked to each other. The project areas for working on the problems are divided up according to the geometrical arrangement of the combustion chamber:
- A) Injection systems and carburetion
- B) Combustion
- C) Interaction and processes in flow mechanics
- D) Numerical processes and data management
