Emissions Characteristics of a Turbine Engine and Research Combustor Burning a Fischer−Tropsch Jet Fuel
Edwin Corporan,Matthew J. DeWitt,Vincent Belovich,Robert Pawlik,Amy Lynch,James R. Gord,Terrence R. Meyer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the emissions characteristics of two combustion platforms, a T63 turboshaft engine and an atmospheric swirl-stabilized research combustor, fueled with conventional military jet fuel (JP-8), a natural-gas-derived Fischer−Tropsch synthetic jet fuel, and blends of the two were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flame and Flow Topologies in an Annular Swirling Flow
Ianko Chterev,C. W. Foley,Daniel Foti,S. Kostka,Andrew W. Caswell,Naibo Jiang,Amy Lynch,David R. Noble,Suresh Menon,Jerry Seitzman,Tim Lieuwen +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate flame shapes and flow configurations in a premixed, swirl-stabilized dump combustor and present results from high-speed luminosity imaging, particle image velocimetry (PIV), and OH-planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) to illustrate time-averaged and instantaneous flame shape and flow fields associated with the different configuration families.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Detailed Investigation of Bluff Body Stabilized Flames
Barry Kiel,Kyle Garwick,James R. Gord,Joseph D. Miller,Amy Lynch,Roger W. Hill,Scott D. Phillips +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is concluded that the vortex dynamics and not geometry is the dominant mechanism for blimp body flame extinction and this conclusion is supported by the lean blowout data, by the high speed images and reference data from NACA.
A detailed investigation of bluff body stabilized flames (postprint)
Barry Kiel,James R. Gord,Joseph D. Miller,Amy Lynch,Combustion Branch,Turbine Engine Division +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was concluded that the vortex dynamics and not geometry is the dominant mechanism for bluff body flame extinction, and this conclusion was supported by the lean blowout data, by the high speed images and reference data from NACA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of flame-shedding behavior behind a bluff-body using proper orthogonal decomposition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively identify the contribution of various instability modes for three 1.5-in. flameholder configurations and is performed in an augmentor test rig employing propane and air as fuel and oxidizer, respectively.
