TL;DR: In this article, the results of a Large Eddy Simulation of swirl stabilised flames fuelled by liquid kerosene are described. But the results are restricted to two flame types, denoted as Flame A and Flame B for which experimental data is available.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-eddy simulation Eulerian-Lagrangian particle methodology is applied to the study of a two-phase flow in an experimental burner, where a Lagrangian description of the dispersed phase is adopted and combined with an Eulerians description of continuous phase with two-way coupling between the gas and the liquid phases.

TL;DR: In this article, a large eddy simulation of a confined annular swirling jet is presented, which corresponds to a well investigated flow studied experimentally by Sheen (1993) and is characterised by a high swirl number resulting in relatively complex features.
Abstract: The present paper discusses the Large Eddy Simulation of a confined non-reacting annular swirling jet. The configuration corresponds to a well investigated flow studied experimentally by Sheen (1993). The flow field is characterised by a high swirl number resulting in relatively complex features. The challenging behaviour of the flow is governed by the interaction of several recirculation zones. The central recirculation zone formed by the swirling jet is strongly affected by the cylindrical centre body which acts as a bluff body. The flow features coherent structures such as Precessing Vortex Cores (PVCs), which create regions with high velocity fluctuations. The simulations presented comprise a detailed investigation of the parameters controlling the inert flow and a thorough comparison with the experimental data.
