Structure of the Velocity and Soot Concentration Fields of a Swirl Stabilized Turbulent Non-Premixed Flame in a Gas Turbine Model Combustor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Turbulent non-premixed swirl flames were investigated in a gas turbine model combustor with optical access. Velocity and soot concentration fields for ethylene/air combustion at three overall fuel-air equivalence ratios, 0.222, 0.209 and 0.198, were studied. Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements were used to study the flow field in the combustor, and time-averaged soot volume fractions were obtained using laser induced incandescence. The flow field and soot measurements were performed separately, but under identical conditions. The flow field measurements captured the inner and outer recirculation zones, the boundaries of which showed high turbulence intensity. This high intensity turbulence implies a rapid mixing of the cold reactants with the recirculating hot combustion products and chemically active radicals near the recirculation zone boundaries. The soot volume fractions showed a strong dependence on the overall fuel-air equivalence ratio. Regions of maximum soot had a conical shape and grew radially outward with downstream locations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
