Abstract

A model of the burner of low-emission combustion chamber for the stationary A. Lyul’ka Saturn AL-31ST gas turbine drive has been developed and verified. By comparing the calculation results based on the model developed and the experimental measurements, it has been shown that this model can be used for estimating the pollutant emission from the combustion chamber being modeled. The basic requirements to computational models, which are necessary to provide an adequate accuracy of engineering simulation of pollutant emission from low-emission combustion chambers, have been formulated based on the analysis of calculation results.
