Unsteady combustion processes in a channel with gas stream swirling and its termination

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of numerical simulation of the flow and combustion of a pre-mixed gas mixture in a cylindrical channel at sudden swirliing of the flow and its sudden termination are considered. The calculations conducted show that the flow swirling allows flame localization in a given volume of the combustion chamber and is an effective method for combustion control.
