In today’s energy market, turbine combustors must operate at higher firing temperatures, with higher combustion intensity, while reducing undesirable emissions such as NOx. With the introduction of new fuels such as hydrogen, understanding combustor performance and optimizing combustion is vital, to ensure reliable and efficient turbine operation.

Our solutions enable you to predict and understand the real-world combustion behavior, in a virtual environment. Using multi-physics CFD you are able to:

  • Simulate combustion and predict performance under both full-load and part load conditions.
  • Predict emissions over the complete range of operating conditions.
  • Gain insight into flame properties and investigate every aspect of combustion performance.
  • Calculate solid component and air temperatures in the same simulation.

The digital twin approach means you can rapidly test multiple designs and try out alternatives, reducing the amount of expensive field testing required.

Predict maintenance needs, long-term operation and reliability, and optimize designs to ensure efficient operation of every component. .
