Numerical Optimization of the "Tornado" Combustor Aerodynamic Parameters

Abstract

*† ‡ Theoretical investigations of the reverse vortex combustor (RVC) with plasma stabilization have been conducted. Different effects of spatial arc on the burnout processes inside the combustor and ecological characteristics have been considered. The results of this work and recommendations can be used for the reverse vortex combustion chamber operation mode and geometry optimization, perspective burners design for propulsion and power generation.
