Using Detailed Kinetic Schemes for CFD Calculations of Hydrogen-Fueled Gas Turbine Combustion Chamber Processes
摘要
The integration of methodologies aimed at enhancing the efficiency and eco-friendliness of existing engines, coupled with the development of innovative technical solutions, is broadening the comprehension and knowledge regarding the potential of gas turbine engines proposed for marine infrastructure applications. One of the strategies for achieving zero emissions of carbon oxides involves the utilization of alternative fuels devoid of carbon content, such as hydrogen. This study explores the synergy between hydrogen utilization and technologies designed to enhance the environmental performance of gas turbine combustion chambers through a two-stage steam injection process. Utilizing the capabilities of contemporary computational tools a three-dimensional model of the combustion chamber has been developed, a finite element mesh has been established, and simulations of the operational processes within the chamber have been executed. Consequently, three-dimensional computational data have been generated, serving as the basis for comparing the potentials of various kinetic combustion schemes for hydrogen fuel within the combustion chambers of gas turbine engines intended for operation on FPSO-type vessels.
