Theoretical Investigation on Combustion with Preformed Vortex Patterns

Abstract:

The formation of swirl to improve mixing in the fuel-air mixture through induced turbulence, by making changes in the combustion chamber geometry has been the key interest mentioned in the published research, academic and commercial works. The occurrence of shock waves has long been the effect of engine detonation. Both these things involve variation in the fluid’s dynamic characteristics, thermodynamic and physical states that are controllable by the use of mechanically produced waves. This paper aims at exploring the ways by which optimal combustion can be achieved through wave assisted combustion.
