Flow visualization in a water model of a can-type gas turbine combustor
Abstract
Visualization of the flow in a water model of a can-type gas turbine combustor has been carried out for two swirler flow rates using both conventional and fluorescent dyes. A conventional dye was used to illustrate the trajectory of the radially inflowing jets but improved resolution could only be achieved by laser induced fluorescence.
