Flashback and combustion stability in swirl burners: Review paper

Abstract

Flame flashback phenomena and combustion stability in a swirl burners represent the major of instability problems that lead to causing a considerable damage to combustion systems as well as the pollution troubles. Recently, researchers suggested many techniques in order to enhancing flame flashback resistance especially against a combustion induced vortex breakdown mechanism in addition to boundary layer flashback. Therefore, the present paper represent a general review about flashback and combustion stability in swirl burners to be as a scientific reference for researchers in this field.
