Application of 3D aerodynamic/combustion model to combustor primary zone studyA description is provided of the three-dimensional elliptic code for reacting flows used in the combustor design process during the program 'Small Gas Turbine Combustor Primary Zone Study' carried out by a U.S. company. The code, designated MARC-I (multidimensional aerodynamic recirculating combustion-Version I) is an adaptation of the model described by Mongia et al. (1979). The program has the objective to advance the technology of the small reverse-flow annular combustor design through an understanding of primary zone performance factors. The MARC-I code was used for performance predictions of both original designs and later modifications. A test program consisting of both primary zone sampling and overall combustor performance measurements was carried out. It was, therefore, possible to compare the analytical predictions with actual test measurements.
