Three-Dimensional Algebraic Grid Generation Scheme for Gas Turbine Combustorswith Inclined Slots

摘要

A 3D algebraic grid generation scheme is presented for generating the grid pointsinside gas turbine combustors with inclined slots. The scheme is based on the 2D transfinite interpolation method. Since the scheme is a 2D approach, it is very efficient and can easily be extended to gas turbine combustors with either dilution hole or slot configurations. To demonstrate the feasibility and the usefulness of the technique, a numerical study of the quick-quench/lean-combustion (QQ/LC) zones of a staged turbine combustor is given. Preliminary results illustrate some of the major features of the flow and temperature fields
