Protection des matériaux Résumé : Jets in crossflow are widely used in the industry for homogenization or cooling tasks. Recently, pulsating jets have been investigated as a mean to increase the scalar mixing efficiency of such configurations, whether for a single jet or for an array of jets. To avoid the disadvantages of mechanically actuated flows (costs, maintenance), a new injector based on a fluidics oscillator has been designed. Four injectors have been implemented in a generical jet in crossflow configuration and the mixing efficiency of the setup was compared with the one of the same setup equiped with standard non oscillating jets. With help of high-speed concentration measurement technique, the scalar mixing quality of both setups was measured at three positions downstream of the injection plane. In all the cases tested, the fluidics injectors present a better temporal homogenization, characterized by the Danckwerts unmixedness criterion, than the standard jets. For a defined mixing quality, a decrease of the mixing length by approximately 50% can be achieved with the fluidics injectors. Furthermore, the new injectors exhibit a mixing quality which is less sensitive to variations of the jet to crossflow momentum. The flapping motion of the fluidics injectors induces a wider azimuthal spreading of the fluidics jets immediately downstream of the injection location. This increases the macro- and micro-mixing phenomea which lead then to the high gains in mixing quality. It is thus demonstrated that fluidics oscillators present a strong potential to improve the passive scalar homogenization of jet in crossflow configurations.

Instability control by premixed pilot flames / Peter Albrecht in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power, Vol. 132 N° 4 (Avril 2010)

Titre : Instability control by premixed pilot flames Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter Albrecht, Auteur ; Stefanie Bade, Auteur ; Arnaud Lacarelle, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : 08 p. Note générale : Génie Mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Combustion  Flames Index. décimale : 620.1 Essais des matériaux. Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : Premixed flames of swirl-stabilized combustors (displaced half-cone) are susceptible to thermo-acoustic instabilities, which should be avoided under all operating conditions in order to guarantee a long service life for both stationary and aircraft gas turbines. The source of this unstable flame behavior can be found in a transition of the premix flame structure between two stationary conditions that can be easily excited by fuel fluctuations, coherent structures within the flow, and other mechanisms. Pilot flames can alleviate this issue either by improving the dynamic stability directly or by sustaining the main combustion process at operating points where instabilities are unlikely. In the present study, the impact of two different premixed pilot injections on the combustion stability is investigated. One of the pilot injector (pilot flame injector) was located upstream of the recirculation zone at the apex of the burner. The second one was a pilot ring placed at the burner outlet on the dump plane. A noticeable feature of the pilot injector was that an ignition device allowed for creating pilot premixed flames. The present investigation showed that these premixed pilot flames were able to suppress instabilities over a wider fuel/air ratio range than the conventional premixed pilot injection alone. Furthermore, it was possible to prevent instabilities and maintain the flame burning near the lean blowout when a percentage of the fuel was premixed with air and injected through the pilot ring. NOx emissions were significantly reduced.
