Summary:This paper proposes a methodology for the reduction of marine gas turbine exhaust gas temperatures via water mist injection into exhaust gas ducts with the aim of reducing a ship’s infrared (IR) signature. Due to the difficulty of conducting live experimental tests on warships, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) techniques can be employed to predict phase interaction behaviour (water mist and exhaust gases) within gas turbine exhausts. CFD techniques attempt to find numerical solutions to the equations that govern phase interaction phenomena through the setting and resolution of mathematical models.
