In the present paper, the effects of combustion instability on flow structure and flame dynamic with the configurations of burner exit in a model gas turbine combustor are investigated using large eddy simulation(LES). A G-equation flamelet model is employed to simulate the unsteady flame behavior. As a result of mean flow field, the change of divergent half angle(${\alpha}$) at burner exit results in variations in the size and shape of the central toroidal recirculation(CTRZ) as well as flame length by changing corner recirculation zone(CRZ). The case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ show smaller size and upstream location of CTRZ than that of $90^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ by the development of higher swirl velocity. The flame length in the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ is the most shortest, while that in the case of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ is the longest by the decrease of effective reactive area with the absence of CRZ. Through the analysis of pressure fluctuation, it is identified that the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ shows the most largest damping effect of pressure oscillation in all configurations and brings in the noise reduction of 2.97dB, comparing with that of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ having the largest pressure oscillation. These reasons are discussed in detail through the analysis of unsteady phenomena about recirculation zone and flame surface. Finally the effects of flame-acoustic interaction are evaluated using local Rayleigh parameter.

This study is the results related to the combustion instability phenomenon with respect to combustor length and thermal power as variables in dual swirling combustor configuration. Especially, the beating phenomena having the insensitive resonance frequency of relatively constant peaks are observed when the combustor lengths increase in a lower power regime. This beating phenomenon might be occurred due to the interacting behaviors of pilot and main burners with different periods. Therefore, such insensitive response seems to be a result of the beating phenomenon with interaction between the pilot and main flames even though the combustor lengths are increased.

A simplified analytical modeling for micro-sized single metal particle combustion in air was conducted in the present study. The metal particle combustion consists of two distinct reaction regimes, ignition and quasi-steady burning, and the thermo-fluidic phenomena in each stage are formulated by virtue of the conservation and transport equations. Reliability of the model is shown by rigorous validation of the method with emphasis laid on the characterizing the commanding parameters. Effects of Initial particle size, initial oxide film thickness, convection, ambient pressure and temperature are examined and addressed with validation.

Many researches have been studied on in-cylinder flow as one of dominant effects for an engine combustion. The combustion phenomena of reciprocating engine is one of the most important processes affecting performance and emissions. One effective way to improve the engine combustion is to control the motion of the charge inside a cylinder by means of optimum induction system design. It is believed that the tumble and swirl motion generated during intake breaks down into small-scale turbulence in the compression stroke of the cycle. However, the exact nature of their relationship is not well known. To know this relationship definitely, this paper describes analytical results of the tumble motion, swirl motion, turbulence intensity, turbulence inside the cylinder of marine engine. 3-D computation has been performed by using STAR-CD solver and es-ice.

In this paper a method for finding solutions of acoustic, vortex and entropy wave equations in a cylindrical tube with variable section area was suggested under the consideration of that the high frequency instability in a rocket engine combustion chamber is an acoustic phenomena, which Is coupled with combustion reaction. and that a combustion chamber and exhaust nozzle are usually shaped cylindrically As a consequence of that some method. which enable the mathematical analysis of the influence of entropy and vortex waves to acoustic wave. was suggested. According to the method reflection coefficients of acoustic wave on a supercritical nozzle was numerically calculated, through which it was presented that entropy or vortex waves can strengthen or weaken the reflection rate of acoustic wave.

In liquid oxygen/kerosene liquid rocket engines, kerosene is not only a propellant but also plays a role as a coolant to protect the combustion chamber wall from 3,000 K or more combustion gas. Since kerosene is exposed to high temperature passing through cooling channels, it may undergo heat-related chemical reactions leading to precipitation of carbon-rich solids. Such kerosene's thermal and fluidic characteristic test data are essential for the regeneratively cooled combustion chamber design. In this paper, we investigated foreign studies related to regenerative cooling channel and kerosene. Starting with general information on hydrocarbon fuels including kerosene, we attempted to systematically organize sedimentary phenomena on cooling channel walls, their causes/research results, coking test equipments/prevention methods, etc.

A novel approach has been promoted for FNN ship controllers. An Electro-hydraulic governor has been widely adopted to the ship speed control of propulsion marine diesel engines for a long time, it was very difficult for Electro-hydraulic governor to regulate the speed of high power engine with long stroke at low speed and low load, because of the jiggling phenomena by rough fluctuation of rotating torque and the hunting phenomena by long dead time occurred in fuel combustion process in the engine cylinder. This paper provides an efficient way for improving control performance by FNN controller. An RBF neural network and GA optimization are employed in a fuzzy neural controller to deal with the nonlinearity, time varying and uncertain factors, the rule base and membership functions can be auto-adjusted by GA optimization. The parameters of neural network can be decreased by using union-rule configuration in the hidden layer of the network. The performance of controller is evaluated by the system simulation using simulink tools.

Thermoacoustic oscillation is a significant problem in cylindrical-type combustors such as common internal combustion engines, industrial furnaces, gas turbine, etc. This kind of low frequency oscillation can give rise to serious troubles such as the destruction of system or producing of a strong noise. Accurate numerical simulation of thermoacoustic phenomena is a complex and challenging problem. Especially, considering the reaction of mixture intensifies the difficulty of analysis. Like as other simulations of the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, direct computation of thermoacoustic phenomena requires that the Navier-Stokes equations be solved using accurate numerical differentiation and time-marching schemes, with non-reflecting boundary conditions. In this study,, numerical approach aims at qualitative analysis and efficient prediction of problem, not at the development of an accurate scheme. Overally speaking, numerical prediction is reasonably matched with experimental result.

Korea rapidly arranged urbanization and overpopulation with high growth of economy and all kinds of decrepit facilities are scattered all over the downtown. If there is a strong wind in fire, fire is rapidly increased by various fire spread factors. And Korea cannot build prediction model of urban fire combustion phenomena because there is no studies that physically explains the suitable flame phenomena for its real state. In this study, based on the Japanese Urban fire simulation to target the traditional market area and suitability of fire risk assessment were reviewed.

The possibility that self-ignition can be generated near an obstacle is high in practical applications such as a hydrogen car. In this paper, experimental investigations were suggested to understand the effects of a wall on self-ignition phenomena through high-speed images. The results showed that the existence of a wall could not change the ignition phenomena itself irrespective of wall height and burst pressure. However, when a strong flame was induced in the tube, a wall could promote the flame stabilization.
