Swirling flows are of considerable practical importance. They are used for example to
increase heat transfer in pipes or to stabilize flames at a distance from the injector unit by …

This study investigates H 2-air flames obtained with a laboratory scale coaxial dual-swirl
injector in which fuel and oxidizer are injected separately. Two flame archetypes are …

Swirling flames with varying departures from blow-off have recently been studied using a
simple, yet representative swirl burner. Extensive measurements of flow, stability and …

Distributed combustion provides significant performance improvement of gas turbine
combustors. Key features of distributed combustion includes uniform thermal field in the …

Bluff-body and swirl-stabilized flames are similar in that they represent, in simplest terms, the
fundamental interaction between a fuel jet and a surrounding toroidal vortex. The vortex in …

Colorless distributed combustion (CDC) has been shown to provide significant improvement
in gas turbine combustor performance. Colorless distributed combustion with swirl is …

An experimental investigation was conducted on the flame characteristics, thermal
properties, and emissions of industrial-scale (40 kW) diesel flames. This study uniquely …

A simple, yet representative, burner geometry is used for the investigation of highly swirling
turbulent unconfined, non-premixed, flames of natural gas. The burner configuration …

As a clean, abundant energy source with demonstrated methodologies for producing liquid
petroleum gas (LPG) from renewable feedstocks, the growing availability of LPG motivates …

Controlling the flame shape and its liftoff height is one of the main issues for oxy-flames to
limit heat transfer to the solid components of the injector. An extensive experimental study is …
