This paper describes numerical efforts to investigate combustion characteristics of HyShot scramjet combustor, where gaseous hydrogen is transversely injected into a supersonic cross flow. The corresponding altitude, angle of attack, and equivalence ratio are 35-23 km, $0^{\circ}$, and 0.426 respectively. Two-dimensional simulation reasonably predicts combustor inner pressure distribution and reveals periodic combustion characteristics of HyShot scramjet combustor. Altitude effects are also investigated and the strength of flow instability and subsonic boundary layer thickness affect the combustion efficiency according to altitudes. Frequency analyses provide the flow instability effects on the turbulent combustion in HyShot scramjet combustor.

Three-dimensional flow characteristics in a liquid fuel ramjet combustor were investigated using the PIV method. The combustor has two rectangular inlets that loin a 90-degree angle each other. Three cases of test combustors are made in which those inlet angles are 30 degree, 45degree and 60 degree. The experiments were performed in a water tunnel test with the same Reynolds number as Mach 0.3 at the inlet. PIV software was developed to measure the characteristics of the flow field in the combustor. Accuracy of the developed PIV program was verified with a rotating disk experiment and standard data. The characteristics of the internal flows of the combustor are large swirling flows which appear symmetric with respect to the symmetric section. This is attributed to the fact that the flows introduced from the right and left intakes collide with each other, thus forming symmetrically large vortices. A large and complex three-dimensional recirculating flow was measured behind the intakes. An inlet angle of 30 degrees is the most suitable angle as a frame he]der in the performed experimental ranges.

Dump combustor is a combustor having a dump plane to make coherent structures. A non-premixed flame dump combustor of simple geometry was constructed. We conducted basic experiments such as frequency response on the combustor to confirm the characteristics of the phenomena as a typical dump combustion and unsteady combustion. Furthermore we visualized the flame front behavior by CH chemiluminescence and high speed motion analysis. In spite of the lack of another data such as velocity, species concentration and temperature, the results showed not only the periodic motion of flame front but the ignition process of vortex ring flame. Also we could check out Rayleigh criterion by combining the visualization data with the pressure data.

A numerical analysis of a lean premixed combustor in a micro gas turbine was carried out to investigate the correlation between the turbulent mixing and emission characteristics on the combustor geometries. The interaction between the burners, by flow direction and momentum, significantly influenced on the turbulent mixing and combustion characteristics. The vortex which was generated by thermal expansion was observed during the combustion process, this was distinguished from the combustor geometries. The results showed that these characteristics can affect the NOx emission.

A theoretical and experimental study on the combustion process in a constant volume micro combustor is described. Unlike in a macro scale constant volume combustor, the heat loss to the wall plays a major role in flame propagation in a micro micro combustor. In order to analyze the effect of heat loss on combustion phenomena, pressure transition from ignition was measured. A number of cylindrical micro combustors with different diameter and depth were used for experiment to study the effect of length scales and shape factor. The diameter of combustor ranged from 7.5mm to 22.5 mm and the height of cylinder was from 1mm to 4mm. Initial pressure was also varied for the experiment. The diagnostic methods were severely limited due to the size of the apparatus and uncertainties of certain quantities to be measured in a small-scale environment. An analytical method to derive physical quantities that are essential for performance prediction from the pressure measurements is described.

Acoustic characteristics in an industrial gas-turbine combustor are numerically investigated by adopting linear acoustic analysis. Spatially non-homogeneous temperature field in the combustor is considered in the numerical calculation and the characteristics are analyzed in view of acoustic instability. Acoustic analysis are conducted in the combustors without and with acoustic resonator, which is one of combustion stabilization devices. It has been reported that severe pressure fluctuation frequently occurs in the adopted combustor, and the measured signal of pressure oscillation is compared with the acoustic-pressure response from the numerical calculation. The numerical results are in a good agreement with the measurement data. In this regard, the phenomenon of pressure fluctuation in the combustor could be caused by acoustic instability. The acoustic effects of the resonators are analyzed in the viewpoints of both the frequency tuning and the damping capacity.

This paper deals with the experimental study on the flow characteristics in straight flow can type combustor which has been used for high pressure ratio gas turbine combustor. The author has investigated the effects of swirl number and secondary air hole arrays in axial position on the flow characteristics by adopting the tuft method and 5-Hole Pilot Tube. From these experiments, as the swirl number increases, the results obtained is that the area of recirculation zone becomes wide and the position of vortex-core region approaches to the near of fuel nozzle in the model combustor. The most favourable penetration is obtained when secondary air jet is introduced through the air holes distributed in the form of paralled two rows in axial position of model combustor.

An experimental study in the dual swirl burner was conducted to analyze the temperature characteristics in the combustion field. The dual swirl burner consists of a main swirling pre-mixed flame with tangential swirler surrounding a pilot which can stabilize a diffusion flame or a partially premixed flame with vane swirler depending on whether fuel is supplied at the exit plane or further upstream. The purpose of this study is to analyse experimentally the characterization of flame temperature in the reacting zone, specially, according to the various combustor diameters like 80mm, 100mm, 130mm and 150mm(O.D). As a result, the temperatures of combustion field were decreased as the diameter of combustor increased. Therefore, these results can be expected that the larger diameter of combustor tend to emit less NOx emission than the small combustor.
