- Abstract
- An experimental facility constructed to simulate swirling gas turbine combustion has been subjected to extensive redesign and modification. The program undertaken over the course of the past year consisted essentially of two phases: (1) an assessment of the existing test facility, and (2) a major redesign and reconstruction of those components deemed in need of alteration. As a result of this extensive effort, the test facility at Carnegie-Mellon University has achieved a higher degree of precision and reproducibility. Furthermore, it is believed that those undesirable extraneous effects which plague any fluid mechanics experiment have been substantially reduced. Hence, it is at this time that accurate and reproducible flow measurements can begin.
