| Two full-scale,
gas-turbine spray-combustion models with high pressure and flow
capabilities is available in this laboratory. The combustors
can operate with a variety of liquid or gaseous fuels and are
designed to allow active (acoustic) and passive forcing of the
nozzle flows, and the use of nonintrusive flow and combustion
diagnostics. State-of-the-art Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence
(PLIF), Phase Doppler Velocimetry and Particle Size Analysis
(PDV & PSA), Rainbow Thermometry and Stereoscopic Digital
Particle Image Velocimetry (SDPIV) systems are installed. A
smaller scale model gas turbine combustor is available for atmospheric
pressure tests. |
