The research team was formed. The advanced CFDRC-CHEMKIN software package was installed on a SUN-SPARC dual processor workstation. The literature pertinent to the project was collected. The physical model was set and all parameters and variables were identified. Based on the physical model, the geometric modeling and grid generation processes were performed using the CFD-GEOM (Interactive Geometric Modeling and Grid Generation software). A total number of 11160 cells (248 x 45) were generated to numerically model the baseline, cascaded, swirling, and swirling-cascaded flames. With the cascade being added to the jet, the geometric complexity of the problem increased; which required multi-domain structured grid systems to be connected and matched on the boundaries
