Recent CFD applications in small gas turbine combustion systems developmentA typical small gas turbine combustor is modelled using CFD, and the numerical results are compared with laser doppler velocimetry (LDV) measured data. The predicted flow characteristics are in excellent agreement with the measurements. Some aspects of CFD application in combustor design are discussed. CFD can be used in the following ways: as a tool in studying the flowfield development; in the optimization of location, size, and quantity of flow devices; in monitoring flow performance; and in correlating important design parameters. Use of CFD can significantly reduce the lapse time and the development cost of gas turbine combustors.
