Boundary layer flashback prediction for low emissions full hydrogen gas turbine burners using flow simulation

Flame flashback is an intrinsic problem in lean premixed combustion. Due to higher flame speeds and lower quenching distances, hydrogen-rich fuel mixtures are especially prone to boundary layer flashback (BLF). Research at TU Munich (Eichler 2011, Baumgartner 2014) has resulted in new insights into the mechanism of BLF, revealing a strong...
