A Review on use of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Gas Turbine Combustor Analysis and its Scope

H. A. Bhimgade | S. K. Bhele

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is now widely applied as combustion optimization tool. The steady increase in computer power over recent years has enabled combustion engineers to model reacting multi-phase flows in a realistic geometry with good mesh resolution. As a result, the number of applications of CFD to industries and power generation are also growing rapidly and increasing in sophistication. This paper reviews some of the recent applications of the CFD in gas turbine combustor used in the power generation, aero-engines and combustion industries. The aim is to illustrate what can be done and also to identify trends and those areas where further work is needed
