Flame investigations of a laboratory-scale CECOST swirl burner at atmospheric pressure conditions
Experimental and numerical studies were performed to understand the stabilization of lean premixed natural gas/air flames in a gas turbine model combustor which was equipped with a swirl burner, known as the CECOST burner, designed to replicate the flow and flame structures in an industrial gas turbine engine. The operability range, flame stabilization, and flashback were investigated employing si
