CFD Reacting Flows & Combustion
Gas Turbine Combustion
CFD Simulation of Reacting Flows and Combustion: Engine & Gas Turbine, Fuel Injector & Spray, Exhaust Aftertreatment with Detailed Chemistry
With using advanced and specialized CFD tools such as AVL Fire, Siemens Star-ccm+, Ansys Fluent and Converge, OLTRION engineers can accurately predict important kinetically limited gas turbine phenomena such as ignition, flashback, and lean blow off. In addition, we can investigate the combined effects of chemistry and turbulence and optimize combustor performance parameters.
The wider discipline
Reacting Flows & Combustion
Combustion is a complex process that involves the interaction of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics. In order to design efficient combustion systems, it is important to understand the underlying physics and chemistry of the process. Reacting flows and combustion simulations can be used to model and predict the behavior of combustion systems under different conditions.
Reacting flows refer to fluid flows that involve chemical reactions. Combustion is a typical example of a reacting flow, where fuel and oxidizer are mixed together and ignite to release heat energy. Combustion simulations …
