Abstract

To improve the performance of aero gas turbine engines, more and more interests have been shown on turbine inter-guide-vane burner based on the ultra-compact combustion concept. To make a universal turbine inter-guide-vane burner, a new concept is proposed using a trapped vortex cavity to replace the high swirling circumferential cavity combustor to address the need to scale the configuration for a larger turbine spool. Three models, including trapped vortex combustor, transition model, and turbine inter-guide-vane burner, are designed. Comparative analysis between combustion performances of three models by using numerical simulation method is carried out. The scale-adaptive simulation turbulence model is used in the simulation process, aiming to reduce the deviation between numerical simulation value and actual value. Finally, the turbine inter-guide-vane burner model is found to be the superior design proposal for turbine inter-guide-vane combustion technology, compared with the other two models.
