CFD Predictions of N+3 Cycle Emissions for a Three-Cup Gas-Turbine Combustor [STUB]

Abstract: The National Combustion Code (OpenNCC) was used to perform non-reacting and two-phase reacting flow computations for a unique pre-filming type LDI-3 fuel injector for a three-cup, nineteen-element flametube configuration. All computations were performed with a consistent approach of mesh-generation, spray modeling, reduced finite-rate kinetics and turbulence-chemistry interaction, as developed for CFD analysis of single-element and multi-element LDI-3 designs with OpenNCC. Emissions and flowf…
