Influence of changing combustor pressure on flame stabilization and emission index in the swirl-stabilized flame was investigated. The combustor pressure was controlled by suction fan at combustor exit. Pressure index ($P^{\ast}$=Pabs/Patm), where Pabs and Patm indicated the absolute pressure and atmosphere pressure, respectively, was controlled in the range of 0.7${\sim}$1.3 for each equivalence ratio conditions. The flammable limits of swirl flames were largely influenced by changing combustor pressure and they showed similar tendency with laminar flames. NOx emission index decreased with decreasing pressure index for overall equivalence ratio conditions. R.m.s. of pressure fluctuations is increased with decreasing combustor pressure. This flame fluctuation caused incomplete combustion, hence CO emission index increased. These oscillating flames were measured by simultaneous $CH^{\ast}$ chemiluminescence time-series visualization and pressure fluctuation measurement.

LES results of turbulent premixed combustion flows are introduced by using the dynamic sub-grid scale model based on G-equation describing the flame front propagation. The turbulent premixed combustion flows around bluff body and over backward facing step are analyzed to validate present formation. LES of swirling partially premixed combustion flame is also performed to conform the predictive capabilities of LES model and to prompt our understanding for the combustion flows over double cone swirl burner combustor by using CFD-ACE+ commercial code.
