Lean premixed gas turbine combustors were successful in meeting current NOx emission regulations. However, these combustors have been found to be susceptible to combustion instability. In this study, general mechanisms for combustion dynamics and instabilities in lean premixed gas turbine combustors are introduced. In addition, the flame transfer functions in the combustor are experimentally determined. The inputs to the flame transfer function are the imposed velocity fluctuations of the mixture. The key results of the measurements are reviewed.

내연기관 연소는 난류유동, 분무, 연소, 열전달의 복합적인 현상으로서 열역학적 해석이 주류를 이루어 왔으나 컴퓨터의 발전에 따라 효율 개선과 공해 저감을 목표로 전산유체해석 기법이 적극적으로 도입되고 있다. 내연 기관 연소의 근간을 형성하는 난류 연소 모델링의 기본 개념으로서 가솔린엔진에서의 예혼합연소와 디젤엔진에서의 확산연소에 대한 영역조건평균(zone conditional averaging) 모델과 조건평균닫힘(conditional moment closure) 모델에 대해 설명하였으며 $NO_x$와 soot 예측에 대한 적용과 엔진응용 사례를 소개하였다.

A new combustion strategy called LIFC(Late Injection ＆ Fast Combustion) was developed for simultaneous reduction of particulate matter(PM) and nitrogen oxides(NOx) in exhaust emission of diesel engines, In this study, effects of injection timing and injection pressure under relatively high EGR rate were investigated. The experiments were conducted in a conventional engine over a range of commercial engine speed. The test engine could be operated in LIFC up to 2000rpm / bmep 5 bar condition with significant reduction of NOx and PM. The experimental results showed potential for the mechanism of the simultaneous reduction of NOx and PM from HSDI diesel engines.

Large eddy simulation of turbulent premixed flame stabilized by the bluff body is performed by using sub-grid scale combustion model based on the G-equation describing the flame front propagation. The basic idea of LES modeling is to evaluate the filtered-front speed, which should be enhanced in the grid scale by the scale fluctuations. The dynamic subgrid scale models newly introduced into the G-equation are validated by the premixed combustion flow behind the triangle flame holder. The calculated results can predict the velocity and temperature of the combustion flow in good agreement with the experiment data.

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent premixed combustion flow is performed by using the dynamic subgrid scale model based on -equation describing the flame front propagation. After introducing the LES governing equations with dynamic subgrid scale (DSGS) model newly introduced into the -equation, the turbulent premixed combustion flow over backward facing step is analyzed to validate present formulation. The calculated results can predict the velocity and temperature of the combustion flow in good agreement with the experiment data.

LES results of turbulent premixed combustion flows are introduced by using the dynamic sub-grid scale model based on G-equation describing the flame front propagation. The turbulent premixed combustion flows around bluff body and over backward facing step are analyzed to validate present formation. LES of swirling partially premixed combustion flame is also performed to conform the predictive capabilities of LES model and to prompt our understanding for the combustion flows over double cone swirl burner combustor by using CFD-ACE+ commercial code.

Premixed combustion has many advantages, including low CO and NOx emissions and a small combustor volume. These characteristics allow a compact design and wide application to condensing boilers with high thermal efficiencies. This study focused on the combustion characteristics in a premixed combustion burner using metal fiber and a throttle body. The results showed that a blue flame was found to be very stable at a heating load of 6,250-25,000 kcal/h when implementing the proper metal fiber, baffle plate, and throttle body. The NOx emission was less than 11 ppm under an equivalence ratio of 0.724-0.795, and the CO emission was less than 50 ppm under the same equivalence ratio. The thermal efficiency, which is a very important index when condensing a gas boiler, was observed to be above 96.3％ under an equivalence ratio of 0.750.

This study is on the pulsating combustion of premixed gas in a Rijke type combustor made of a honeycomb flame holder in a tube. Modelling for the onset condition of the oscillation is made by the ratio of the acoustic power generation based on the analysis of heat transfer to the power loss due to the thermoviscous dissipation and radiation. Experiment is performed for the characteristics of acoustic, thermal and combustion. It is shown that the theoretical modelling for the oscillation may be used as a limit condition. And the combustion analysis for the acoustic power generation is needed for better prediction of the onset condition. Experimental result shows that, by pulsation, the flame length is shortened and the flame temperature is decreased with increase in the heat transfer coefficient. The NO$_{x}$ concentration in the exhaust gas is significantly reduced by pulsation and the concentration of unburned hydrocarbon shows a little increase.e.

A numerical study of premixed combustion within a porous ceramic burner (PCB) is performed to understand flame behavior with respect to various model parameters. Basic flame structure within the porous ceramic burner and species profiles such as NO and CO are examined. Sensitivity analysis of flame speed, gas and solid temperature, NO and CO emission from the burner with respect to reaction steps and various physical properties of the ceramic material is applied to find the most significant parameters in selection of porous materials for the porous ceramic burner. Effects of thermal conductivity, extinction coefficient and scattering albedo on the burner characteristics are studied through the sensitivity analysis. The results of sensitivity study reveal the order of importance in ceramic material properties to get suitable burner performance. Scattering albedo, which governs the ratio of absorbed energy by the ceramic material to total radiative energy transferred, is one of the most important parameters in the material properties since it affects the actual absorbed radiation rate and thus it largely affects the flame structure. Through the study, it is found that the sensitivity study can be used to estimate the flame behavior within the porous ceramic burner more effectively.
