Abstract

The chapter addresses an extensive numerical investigation for the optimization of static pressure recovery in the dump diffuser of annular combustor for modern aero-gas turbine engines. The modelling and simulation processes are accomplished through the commercial ANSYS fluent module with SST k-epsilon (k-ɛ) turbulence model with the atmospheric conditions prevailing at 9 km altitude. The effect of velocity changes on the flow recirculation and vortex mixing phenomena is also addressed with novel dome-shaped optimization at the velocity of 25 m/s. The dome geometry can also be considered as a flame tube head, and the influence of vortex pattern and pressure distributions caused by the different dome shapes are analyzed using CFD. The dome-shaped optimization strategy addressed herein could initiate more potential studies on dump diffusers with hot and cold flow conditions to enhance the overall combustion efficiency in the near future.
