Large Eddy Simulations of gaseous flames in gas turbine combustion chambers
TLDR
In this article, two types of LES in complex geometry combustors and of specific interest for aeronautical gas turbine burners are reviewed: (1) laboratory-scale combustors, without compressor or turbine, in which advanced measurements are possible and (2) combustion chambers of existing engines operated in realistic operating conditions.About:

Prediction and control of combustion instabilities in real engines
Thierry Poinsot,Thierry Poinsot +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present recent progress in the field of thermoacoustic combustion instabilities in propulsion engines such as rockets or gas turbines, and show that LES is not sufficient and that theory, even in these complex systems, plays a major role to understand both experimental and LES results and to identify mitigation techniques.

Dynamics of Swirling Flames
TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of the swirl number, a parameter that plays a central role in the definition of the flow structure and its response to incoming disturbances, is presented, where the interaction between the swirler response and incoming acoustic perturbations generates a vorticity wave convected by the flow.

Large-eddy simulation: Past, present and the future
TL;DR: Large-eddy simulation (LES) was originally proposed for simulating atmospheric flows in the 1960s and has become one of the most promising and successful methodology for simulation of turbulent flows with the improvement of computing power as mentioned in this paper.

Large-eddy simulation of a bi-periodic turbulent flow with effusion
Simon Mendez,Franck Nicoud +1 more
Abstract: Large-eddy simulations of a generic turbulent flow with discrete effusion are reported. The computational domain is periodic in both streamwise and spanwise directions and contains both the injection and the suction sides. The blowing ratio is close to 1.2 while the Reynolds number in the aperture is of order 2600. The numerical results for this fully developed bi-periodic turbulent flow with effusion are compared to available experimental data from a large-scale spatially evolving isothermal configuration. It is shown that many features are shared by the two flow configurations. The main difference is related to the mean streamwise velocity profile, which is more flat for the bi-periodic situation where the cumulative effect of an infinite number of upstream jets is accounted for. The necessity of considering both sides of the plate is also established by analysing the vortical structure of the flow and some differences with the classical jet-in-crossflow case are highlighted. Finally, the numerical results are analysed in terms of wall modelling for full-coverage film cooling. For the operating point considered, it is demonstrated that the streamwise momentum flux is dominated by non-viscous effects, although the area where only the viscous shear stress contributes is very large given the small porosity value (4%).
