Flame Stability and Lean Blowout
Sturgess, G.J.; Sloan, D.G.; Roquemore, W.M.; Reddy, V.K.; Schouse, D.; Lesmerises, A.L.; Ballal, D.R.; Heneghan, S.P.; Vangsness, M.D. and Hedman, P.O.
10th International Society of Air Breathing Engines, Nottingham, England, September 1991. Funded by US Air Force.
A progress report is presented on a comprehensive research program aimed at improving the design and analysis capabilities for flame stability and lean blowout in the combustors of aircraft gas turbine engines. The motivation and aims of the program are reviewed, and the unusual approach adopted to address the research issues is outlined. The supporting experimental program and the test vehicles involved are described, together with some major results obtained to date. The modeling techniques that are being explored are summarized. Their potential and limitations are highlighted. Although much work remains yet to be done, the progress made thus far gives rise to reasonable optimism for achieving the program objectives.
