According to projections by the International Energy Outlook 2013 (IEO2013), world energy consumption will grow by 56% between 2010 and 2040, and fossil fuels will continue to supply almost 80% of world energy use through 2040. These projections also suggest that natural gas will be the "fastest-growing fossil fuel."

In this webinar, combustion specialists and developers will show how simulation software can be used to discover better GT Combustor designs faster by:

• Reducing dependence on slow and expensive physical testing of GT combustors
• Maximizing fuel efficiency through accurate, time-efficient prediction of temperatures and species (such as NOx and CO)
• Accurately predicting emissions through finite-rate chemistry included with the CFD simulations
• Ensuring a stable flame and thus reliable GT operation (i.e., by avoiding lift-off, blow-out, and flash-back)
• Including complex unsteady, turbulent flow phenomena through Large Eddy Simulations (LES) and Turbulent-Chemistry Interaction (TCI)
• Ensuring effective cooling of the combustor liner, and avoiding hot spots and thermal stresses, through conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analysis
• Using full-fidelity CAD geometry and polyhedral meshes to increase the accuracy of CFD predictions, by removing the need for simplifying assumptions and approximations
• Using temperature and pressure data to predict acoustic modes, transfer functions, and forced responses (to avoid thermo-acoustic instabilities and diagnose/guide combustor chamber design changes)
