This project presents the design of a combustor with rotary vanes at the diffuser section and analyzing it’s turbulence and velocity characteristics. Rotary vanes with 2-blade, 4-blade and 8-blade configuration are analyzed and compared. The model with the better turbulent characteristics is selected and is then compared with the conventional combustor model with swirl. Cold flow analysis is carried out to understand the turbulence of air and the velocity fluctuations inside the chamber. In this study the attempt has been made by using CFD approach.
