Effect of velocity variation at high swirl on axial flow development inside a can combustor

The main purpose of this paper is to study the internal flow effect of varying the inlet velocities inside a combustor. The flow field inside the combustor is controlled by the liner shape and size, wall side holes shape, size and arrangement (primary, secondary and dilution holes), and primary air...
