Unsteady fluid mechanics of annular swirling shear layers

The vast majority of gas turbine combustor systems employ swirl injectors to produce a central toroidal recirculation zone (CTRZ) which entrains and recirculates a portion of the hot combustion gases to provide continuous ignition to the incoming air-fuel mix. In addition to these primary functions,...
