INTRODUCTION
New method combined with low emission, high
combustion intensity, and good stability of fl ame.
Based on concept of recirculation of burnt gas and
dilution and preheating of fresh gases[2].

HISTORY
Factors that led to R&D include
Growing stress of reducing NOx pollution
Energy crisis of 70s and 80s
Government norms and regulations

PHYSICAL ASPECTS
Increase of fuel - oxidizer interface temperature leads
to reduced surface tension owing to better mixing
and atomization (Surface free energy is minimized)
Assists droplet evaporation in liquid fuel injection
High residence time, leading to better chemical
kinetics and reaction time
Absence of shear layer (fl amelet) where reaction
occurs, non-uniform mixture concentration does not
aff ect combustion
High radiative heat transfer, improves droplet
vaporization by heating

REVIEW
In 2011, Vladimir Zimont et. al. developed a joint
RANS/LES modelling for fl ameless combustion [12]
RANS model simulate accurately compact fl ame and
distributed fl ameless combustion
LES model with sub gird viscosity scale reproduce
instantaneous structures like vortex
Joint model was observed to have lower computational time

In 2012, Yaxin Su et.al. tried to simulate HITAC with
modifi ed Eddy Break Up model (EDU) [11], from the
IFRF experiment conducted by Mancini et. al. [14]
A furnace model with three step reaction mechanism was
modelled
A parameter modifi ed EDU with RSM was used to predict
fl ame and it was observed that the fl ame and emission
characteristics can be correctly predicted, but precision was
not satisfactory.

In 2015, Jingjing Ye et. Al conducted
an
experimental
study
on
MILD
combustion of prevaporised liquid
fuels [15]
Reverse Flow under elevated pressure.
Combustion stability depend on the fuel
type, with n-heptane being most unstable
due to fast ignition.
NOx emission increases under elevated
pressure
Slow mixing, elevated pressure, residence
time and increased temperature leads to
increased NOx emission

CONCLUSIONS
1. FLOX can be accurately modelled using CFD
2. FLOX reduces emissions and increases temperature
homogeneity,
as
compared
to
conventional
combustion
3. NOx emission can be reduced as much as 96% and
more, as observed in experimental and numerical
investigations
4. Not many works have been conducted in the area
5. Commercial applications has been carried out only
in the area of furnace
6. Optimization study conducted shows that there are
a lot of aspects to be considered for analysing
combustion
7. Flow
and
thermal
aspects

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
1. Numerically investigate gaseous fuel combustion at

gas turbine application
3. Experimentally investigate the numerical results
obtained for specifi c number of cases (limited to
one single experimental model, and constrained set
of parameters)
