New Trends in Combustion Research for Gas Turbine Engines.

Abstract

Research on combustion is being conducted to provide improved analytical models of complex flow and chemical reaction processes which occur in the combustor of gas turbine engines, in order to enable engine manufacturers to reduce the development time of new concepts and to increase the durability of these concepts. The elements of the Combustion Fundamentals program is briefly discussed with examples of research projects described more fully. Combustion research will continue to emphasize the development of analytical models and the support of these models with fundamental flow experiments to assess the model's accuracy and shortcomings.
