The asymmetrical flow field of combustor inlet was obtained by which the oriented vane was installed in the axial diffuser of a reverse-flow combustor test piece
and how the combustor performance was affected by the variety of the combustor inlet flow field was simulated based on experiments verification
and the scheme included no vane
vane deflexion angle of 25° and vane deflexion angle of 35°. The results indicate that the unevenness of the flow field of the combustor inlet is caused by the oriented vane with deflection angle. The flow of combustor inlet takes on a certain deflexion angle and tangential velocity. The airflow direction of the primary holes and dilution holes has a deflexion angle. When the deflexion angle of the oriented vane increases
the axial velocity of the primary holes and dilution holes increases to a certain extent
and the tangential velocity of the primary holes and dilution holes increases greatly. The total pressure recovery coefficient decreases when the deflexion angle of the oriented vane increases. With the increase of deflection angle of the oriented vane
the combustion efficiency is invariable basically. The outlet temperature distribution factor(OTDF) decreases greatly
and the temperature circumferential distribution unevenness decreases at the same radial height.
