Abstract

The paper presents a POD analysis of the numerical simulation results obtained from the numerical simulation of transport phenomena in a one-stage turbine-combustor (i.e. a turbine stage with in situ combustion). The motivation of this research is to investigate the new fuel injection concept that consists of a perforated pipe placed at mid-pitch in the stator row passage and different axial positions. The main goal of this simulation is to assess the stability of the in situ combustion with respect to the unsteadiness induced by the rotor-stator interaction. To identify the sources of instability for this complex flow, the proper orthogonal decomposition technique is used to analyze the natural patterns and couplings between various modes of pressure, temperature, velocity and chemical production rate distributions.
