Center Body Geometry Impact on Swirl Combustor Dynamics
Analysis
This paper investigates the influence of center body geometry on the unsteady flow dynamics within a swirl combustor, a critical component in many combustion systems. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing combustion efficiency, stability, and reducing pollutant emissions. The use of CFD simulations validated against experimental data adds credibility to the findings. The application of cross-spectral analysis provides a quantitative approach to characterizing the flow's coherent structures, offering valuable insights into the relationship between geometry and unsteady swirl dynamics.
