Abstract—Design of a gas turbine combustor is still difficult and an uncertain part of aero engine design process because of complex simultaneous processes such as turbulent mixing, reaction, multiphase flow and heat transfer. Therefore, having a proven design and experimental methodologies is so important to achieve combustor design targets in aero engine gas turbine projects. The present work provides an overview of an aero gas turbine combustor with airblast atomizer design, production and rig test process.
Index Terms—Combustor, turbojet, propulsion, airblast atomizer, gas turbine.
