Abstract

A dynamic combustor model is developed for inclusion into a one-dimensional full gas turbine engine simulation code. A fluxdifference splitting algorithm is used to numerically integrate the quasi-one-dimensional Euler equations, supplemented with species mass conservation equations. The combustion model involves a single-step, global finite-rate chemistry scheme with a temperaturedependent activation energy. Source terms are used to account for mass bleed and mass injection, with additional capabilities to handle momentum and energy sources and sinks. Numerical results for cold and reacting flow for a can-type gas turbine combustor are presented. Comparisons with experimental data from this combustor are also made.
