LOW emissions are one of the most essential features of all modern gas turbine engines
irrespective of their applications. The contribution of aviation gas turbines to overall …

In support of the development of CFD for aeroengine combustion, quantitative
measurements of spray properties and temperature were made. A generic swirling air blast …

Lean direct injection (LDI) is one of the most promising low NO x combustion concepts for
aero-engines. This work reports turbulent reacting spray modeling in a single-element LDI …

Injector geometry, physical mixing, chemical processes, and engine cycle conditions
together govern performance, operability, and emission characteristics of aviation gas …

This paper explores recent results obtained during testing in an optically-accessible, JP8-
fueled, flame tube combustor using baseline Lean Direct Injection (LDI) research hardware …

A Lean-Premixed (LP) aero-engine injection system was experimentally studied using
optically-based measurements. Experiments were conducted under relevant operating …

Ab initio prediction of aeroengine sprays at realistic conditions is currently not feasible and
will remain so for a significant time to come. As a partial solution to the problem …

The reforming of diesel and diesel-like fuels plays a central role in the development of fuel
cell systems for on-board power supplies. The vaporization of the fuel via a spray formation …

The multi-point lean direct injection (MPLDI) strategy, which incorporates several lean direct
injection (LDI) modules, has been developed for low-emission aero-propulsion systems …
