Aspects of the Design of Swirlers as used in Fuel Injectors for Gas Turbine Combustors

An attempt is made to review the state of the art, in swirler design and performance, as it applies to airblast atomizers. The purpose of this review is to summarize existing information on swirler design aspects and performance, as well as to clarify and initiate the standardization of terminology relating to swirlers and swirling flow.Copyright © 1987 by ASME
