Effect of swirl cup design parameters on combustion performance
Based on the three-dimensional numerical simulation and rig test
the effect of swirl cup's design parameters of head of flame tube
such as the relative flow rate and the swirl number of secondary swirler
on combustion performance of an aero-engine main combustor was researched. The researched performance includes the outlet temperature field distribution and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions.It is shown that the result of numerical simulation and rig test is consistent: with the increase of the secondary swirler's relative flow rate
the outlet temperature field of the main combustor deteriorates
and the nitrogen oxides emission slightly reduces;with the deviation of swirl number of the secondary swirler from the benchmark design value
the outlet temperature field deteriorates
while nitrogen oxides emission increases with the increase of swirl number.
