In this study, time-resolved PIV measurements have been employed to understand the complex flow dynamics in a gas turbine swirl cup. The tested geometry consists of twin radial entry vane swirlers and a centrally mounted hollow cone fuel injector. Experiments are carried out with both co and counter-rotation configurations of the two radial swirlers. In addition, the flare geometry at the exit of swirl cup i.e. the flare divergence angle and mixing length is also varied. Essentially, the main aim of this study is to identify how the swirler configuration (co/counter rotation) and flare geometry influences the global evolution and dynamics of the flow field downstream of the swirler exit. The mean global flow field is presented, and the most dominant energetic and dynamic modes governing the injector flow field are meticulously analyzed with help of proper orthogonal and dynamic mode decomposition (POD, DMD) tools. © 2018 Solar Turbines Incorporated.
