Summary: | To meet demands arising as a result of present trends towards miniaturization, an innovative design for promoting mixing enhancement in a miniature can combustor is investigated using an unstructured finite-volume technique. A multi-holed baffle plate is employed to create a ring of oxidizer jets surrounding a single fuel jet in parallel with the axis of the cylindrical chamber. The baffle plate is found to produce a dramatic improvement to the mixing performance when compared with simpler co-axial jet cases. Relatively small changes in geometry are found to have a major influence on mixing for laminar isothermal flow. |
