aero derivative gas turbines and industrial gas turbines is the aim of Siemens Canada Limited (Power_x000D_
Generation , Distributed Generation, Aeroderivative Gas turbine). The next generation of engines will need to_x000D_
comply with increasingly stringent pollutant emissions legislation not only for high methane natural gas but_x000D_
also for a wide range of fuel compositions encompassing higher hydrocarbons and inert gases. The capability_x000D_
to operate on liquid fuel either for emergency backup of for full baseload operation is also mandatory for many_x000D_
applications. These requirements impose significant technical and modeling challenges for the combustion_x000D_
system development._x000D_
This project aims to enhance our ability to develop clean combustion technology. Improvements in pollutant_x000D_
emissions requires improved mixing to ensure a more complete combustion of the fuel and air mixture._x000D_
Effective mixing of the fuel with air has the potential for reducing NOx emissions, yet current understanding of_x000D_
the mixing process is incomplete and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling is not yet able to_x000D_
model the complete physical process. This project is a continuation of the original project studying a simplified_x000D_
model of the mixing chamber to improve understanding of the physical mixing processes and improve_x000D_
