Cyclone combustion chamber has the advantages of compact structure, short flame length, good combustion stability, high combustion efficiency and low emissions of pollutants, etc. As one of the key components of the cyclone combustion chamber, the cyclone has a direct impact on the working performance of the combustion chamber. In this paper, we propose a slotted swirler and describe its structure in detail. We simulate the cold state flow field and the hot state temperature field in the combustion chamber of a cyclone with open seam using the CFD method, taking into account the effect of open seam on the air flow field and temperature distribution after the cyclone at different angles. The simulation shows that the temperature distribution in the slotted swirl combustor exhibited a center-focused flame of higher temperature, compared with the non-slotted swirler, the slotted swirler exhibits certain advantages in terms of drag reduction, combustion stability and combustion efficiency, which has a certain guiding effect on the improvement of the working performance of the combustion chamber.
