Abstract

The analysis on two-phase flow in a Lean Direct Injection(LDI) combustor has been investigated. Linearized Instability Sheet Atomization(LISA) and Aerodynamically Progressed Taylor Analogy Breakup(APTAB) breakup models are applied to simulate the droplet breakup process in hollow-cone spray. Breakup model is validated by comparing penetration length and Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD) of the experiment and simulation. In the LDI combustor, Precessing Vortex Core(PVC) is developed by swirling flow and most droplets are atomized along the PVC. It has been confirmed that all droplets have Stokes number less than 1.0.

희박연료 직접분사(Lean Direct injection(LDI)) 가스터빈 연소기에 대한 이상유동 특성을 해석하였다. LDI 연소기에 적용된 환형분사기(hollow-cone spray injector)의 분열을 모사하기 위해 분열모델(Linearized Instability Sheet Atomization(LISA), Aerodynamically Progressed Taylor Analysis Breakup(APTAB)을 적용하였다. 침투깊이와 평균입도(Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD))를 통해 분열모델을 검증하였으며, LDI 연소기에 적용하여 이상유동특성을 분석하였다. 스월인젝터로 인해 Precessing Vortex Core(PVC)가 발생하였으며, 액적들이 PVC를 따라 미립화되는 것을 확인하였다. SMD 결과를 통해 PVC가 회전하는 영역의 외곽으로 즉, 빠른 속도 영역에 액적들이 분포하며, 스톡스수(Stokes number)는 1보다 작다.
