摘要: A gas turbine engine and combustor assembly including a combustor liner defining therein a combustion chamber for the downstream flow of a main fluid. At least two axially spaced apart annular trapped vortex cavities are located on the combustor liner and staged axially and radially spaced apart. A cavity opening is located at a radially inner end of each of the at least two annular trapped vortex cavities. A plurality of injectors are configured tangentially relative to circular radially outer wall extending between an aft wall and a forward wall of each cavity to provide for an injection of air and fuel to form an annular rotating trapped vortex of a fuel and air mixture within a respective annular trapped vortex cavity. The annular rotating trapped vortex of the fuel and air mixture at the cavity openings is substantially perpendicular to the downstream flow of the main fluid.

摘要: A detonation combustion system includes a detonation combustor. The detonation combustor includes a detonation manifold and one or more detonation chamber walls defining a detonation chamber. The detonation manifold includes a plurality of detonation fluid pathways defined by a monolithic structure of the detonation manifold, and a plurality of detonation orifice groups respectively including a plurality of detonation orifices disposed about a surface of the detonation manifold. Respective ones of the plurality of detonation orifice groups provide fluid communication from a corresponding one of the plurality of detonation fluid pathways to the detonation chamber through the plurality of detonation orifices corresponding to the respective one of the plurality of detonation orifice groups. The plurality of detonation orifices may be symmetrically oriented about a reference element of the detonation combustor.

摘要: A computer-implemented method for multi-mode operation of a combustion system, a combustion system, and a heat engine are provided. The method includes initializing combustion of a fuel/oxidizer mixture, determining whether conditions at the combustion system meet or exceed a first threshold operating parameter, transitioning to detonation combustion of the fuel/oxidizer mixture if conditions at the combustion system meet or exceed the first threshold operating parameter, and maintaining or increasing fuel flow through a deflagrative fuel circuit if conditions at the combustion system do not meet or exceed the first threshold operating parameter.

摘要: A fuel injector to reduce NOx emissions in a combustor system. The fuel injector including a housing, at least one oxidizer flow path, extending axially through the fuel injector housing and defining therein one or more oxidizer flow paths for an oxidizer stream and a fuel manifold, extending axially through the fuel injector housing and defining therein one or more fuel flow path. The fuel manifold includes a forward portion and an aft portion including an aft face. A plurality of fuel injector outlets are defined in the aft portion, wherein the plurality of fuel injector outlets are configured to inject a fuel flow along a mid-plane of the fuel injector and away from a downstream wall. The fuel flow exiting the fuel manifold undergoes circumferential and radial mixing upon interaction with the oxidizer stream. Additionally disclosed is a combustor system including the fuel injector.

摘要: An air-shielded fuel injection assembly for use in a combustion chamber of a turbine assembly. The air-shielded fuel injection assembly generally includes a fuel manifold including a plurality of fuel injection ports and an air manifold including a plurality of air injection ports. Each of the plurality of fuel injection ports is configured to introduce a fuel column into an annular cavity of a mixer assembly. Each of the plurality of air injection ports is configured to introduce an air curtain about an associated fuel injection column to minimize recirculation upstream of the fuel injection column and increase penetration of the fuel injection column into the cavity. Also disclosed are a mixer assembly and a turbine assembly including the air-shielded fuel injection assembly.

摘要: Systems for rotating detonation combustion are provided herein. The system includes an inner wall and an outer wall each extended around a centerline axis, wherein a detonation chamber is defined between the inner wall and the outer wall, and an iterative structure positioned at one or both of the inner wall or the outer wall. The iterative structure includes a first threshold structure corresponding to a first pressure wave attenuation and a second threshold structure corresponding to a second pressure wave attenuation. The iterative structure provides for pressure wave strengthening along a first circumferential direction in the detonation chamber or pressure wave weakening along a second circumferential direction opposite of the first circumferential direction. The first circumferential direction corresponds to a desired direction of pressure wave propagation in the detonation chamber.
