CFD Modeling of Combustion System / Slinger Combustion of Gas Turbine Engines

The proposed research program involves the development of a slinger combustion system for small gas

turbine engine application. Development of slinger combustion system allows eliminating individual

nozzles in the combustor, simplifying fuel system, reducing combustor temperature pattern factor,

more uniform combustor flowfield that leads to lowering engine emissions.

A relatively new combustion approach will be intensively studied to develop and proof the Slinger

concept with the collaborating partners, the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) and

National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) in Bangalore, India. Eventually a prototype will be built with

various detailed measurements. The main objective of the work at Université Laval is to study

numerically this new concept and to integrate spray measurements into CFD calculations to improve

their reliability in terms of more accurate results to provide the best predictive tool with the required

technological advantage of any innovative progress.
