Combustor design and performance prediction based on parametric model

By combining the three-dimensional model software and grid generation software, the combustor parametric model and high quality and high speed gridding in the full flow field has been realized. Based on the research of the parametric modeling, an optimizing design, CFD analysis and performance prediction of the combustor have been accomplished, and the rule of the combustor performance variation with structural parameters was presented. The results show that the combustor capability has no significant change with the radial swirler parameters and the primary holes area. The combustor capability has significant change with position and profile of the primary holes and dilution holes, and the combustor outlet temperature profile and emission change greatly when the total hole area of the burnerinnerliner changes. The parametric model method is helpful to provide a fast design method for the aero-engine combustor design.
