A method of performing combustion, whereby: • in a first phase: ∘ fuel is injected into a furnace along a fuel injection axis from a fuel nozzle disposed in a burner block; ∘ an amount of oxidant, called primary oxidant, is injected into the furnace from a primary oxidant nozzle, the fuel and primary oxidant nozzles being concentrically disposed with respect to one another; and ∘ the fuel and primary oxidant are combusted in the furnace; • during a transition from the first phase to a second phase: ∘ the amount of primary oxidant injected from the primary oxidant nozzle is decreased; ∘ first and second jets of secondary oxidant are injected into the furnace from first and second dynamical lances disposed on opposite sides of the fuel nozzle in the burner block until a desired degree of staging of oxidant between the primary oxidant and the secondary oxidant is reached; • during the transition: ∘ first and second jets of actuating fluid are injected at angles to the first and second jets of secondary oxidant, respectively, such that the first and second jets of secondary oxidant are fluidically angled away from the fuel injection axis in comparison to the axes along which the secondary oxidants were injected before initiating the jets of actuating fluid, until a desired degree of angling of the second jets of secondary oxidant is reached; • during the second phase: ∘ the desired degree of angling of the second jets of secondary oxidant and the desired degree of staging of oxidant between the primary oxidant and the secondary oxidant is continued so as to perform distributed combustion. • in a first phase: ∘ fuel is injected into a furnace along a fuel injection axis from a fuel nozzle disposed in a burner block; ∘ an amount of oxidant, called primary oxidant, is injected into the furnace from a primary oxidant nozzle, the fuel and primary oxidant nozzles being concentrically disposed with respect to one another; and ∘ the fuel and primary oxidant are combusted in the furnace; ∘ fuel is injected into a furnace along a fuel injection axis from a fuel nozzle disposed in a burner block; ∘ an amount of oxidant, called primary oxidant, is injected into the furnace from a primary oxidant nozzle, the fuel and primary oxidant nozzles being concentrically disposed with respect to one another; and ∘ the fuel and primary oxidant are combusted in the furnace; • during a transition from the first phase to a second phase: ∘ the amount of primary oxidant injected from the primary oxidant nozzle is decreased; ∘ first and second jets of secondary oxidant are injected into the furnace from first and second dynamical lances disposed on opposite sides of the fuel nozzle in the burner block until a desired degree of staging of oxidant between the primary oxidant and the secondary oxidant is reached; ∘ the amount of primary oxidant injected from the primary oxidant nozzle is decreased; ∘ first and second jets of secondary oxidant are injected into the furnace from first and second dynamical lances disposed on opposite sides of the fuel nozzle in the burner block until a desired degree of staging of oxidant between the primary oxidant and the secondary oxidant is reached; • during the transition: ∘ first and second jets of actuating fluid are injected at angles to the first and second jets of secondary oxidant, respectively, such that the first and second jets of secondary oxidant are fluidically angled away from the fuel injection axis in comparison to the axes along which the secondary oxidants were injected before initiating the jets of actuating fluid, until a desired degree of angling of the second jets of secondary oxidant is reached; ∘ first and second jets of actuating fluid are injected at angles to the first and second jets of secondary oxidant, respectively, such that the first and second jets of secondary oxidant are fluidically angled away from the fuel injection axis in comparison to the axes along which the secondary oxidants were injected before initiating the jets of actuating fluid, until a desired degree of angling of the second jets of secondary oxidant is reached; • during the second phase: ∘ the desired degree of angling of the second jets of secondary oxidant and the desired degree of staging of oxidant between the primary oxidant and the secondary oxidant is continued so as to perform distributed combustion. ∘ the desired degree of angling of the second jets of secondary oxidant and the desired degree of staging of oxidant between the primary oxidant and the secondary oxidant is continued so as to perform distributed combustion.
