COMBUSTOR DILUTION WITH VORTEX GENERATING TURBULATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354167 titled 'COMBUSTOR DILUTION WITH VORTEX GENERATING TURBULATORS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a combustor for a gas turbine engine that includes a vortex turbulence generator.
- The combustor has a combustor liner with a vortex turbulence generator.
- The vortex turbulence generator has a flow passage with a wall around it.
- The wall has a plurality of vortex generating turbulators.
- Each turbulator has a projection portion that extends into the flow passage.
- The turbulators generate a vortex turbulent flow of an oxidizer passing through the flow passage.
- The flow of oxidizer goes from the cold surface side of the combustor liner to the hot surface side.
Original Abstract Submitted
A combustor for a gas turbine engine. The combustor has a combustor liner that includes a vortex turbulence generator. The vortex turbulence generator has a flow passage extending therethrough, the flow passage being defined by a wall about a periphery of the flow passage, and a plurality of vortex generating turbulators disposed on the wall, each of the plurality of vortex generating turbulators a projection portion extending from a surface of the wall into the flow passage and generating a vortex turbulent flow of an oxidizer passing through the flow passage from a cold surface side of the combustor liner to a hot surface side of the combustor liner.
