Abstract: An effort was undertaken to perform CFD analysis of fluid flow in Lean-Direct Injection (LDI) combustors with axial swirl-venturi elements coupled with a new fuel-filming injector design for next-generation N+3 combustors. The National Combustion Code (NCC) was used to perform non-reacting and two-phase reacting flow computations on a N+3 injector configuration, in a single-element and a five-element injector array. All computations were performed with a consistent approach towards mesh-gener…
