Master Thesis - CFD prediction of green fuel combustion applied to gas turbine combustors.
A Snapshot of Your Day
The proposed master thesis aims to address how to model hydrogen flames with a good compromise between accuracy and cost. Flames with high concentration of hydrogen pose several challenges compared to more conventional fuels. Hydrogen has got a low molecular weight, is very diffusive and highly reactive, where all aspects need to be accurately predicted in a CFD model to get a good representation of the flame characteristics. The methodology will be applied to Siemens Energy’s 100% capable hydrogen burner design or parts related to such a design.
This project offers an exciting opportunity to learn about gas turbine engines and contributes to the advancement of combustion research and the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly combustion systems.
How You’ll Make an Impact
