Abstract

LES computations of jets in cross flow (JICF) were performed. Experimental investigations reported in literature are reproduced with good agreement concerning the momentum field and the mixing of a passive scalar. The results validate the ability of the present LES approach to compute fuel injection of the type JICF. LES computations of fuel injection in an industrial gas turbine burner are presented.
