This work numerically investigates the effects of turbulators at the air and fuel (methane) inlets on the thermal behavior of a combustion chamber. Conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy, gaseous chemical species, soot, and temperature fluctuation variance in cylindrical axysimmetric co-o...
