Abstract
Abstract The article describes the stability of gaseous fuel combustion in gas turbine low-emission combustion chambers with the plasma-chemical assistance. The mathematical model of unsteady processes in a low-emission combustion chamber with a plasma-chemical stabilizer that takes into consideration the impact of low-temperature plasma on aerodynamics flow in a combustion chamber and the characteristics of heat release is developed. A methodology of a numerical experiment concerning the stability of gaseous fuel combustion in a combustion chamber with plasma assistance using computational fluid dynamics, which enhances the efficiency of designing and adjustment, is proposed. Practical recommendations for improvement of stability of a gas turbine combustion chamber with partially premixed lean fuel–air mixtures, working on gaseous fuels, are developed. They allow to reduce pressure fluctuations inside the flame tube by 10–35%, to decrease spectral power of static pressure in the flame tube in 1.5–2.0 times, to reduce nitrogen oxide emission up to 33.6 ppm in the exit section while retaining a carbon monoxide emission level, that corresponds modern international ecological standards.
