  • A numerical investigation was conducted to study the effect of swirl numbers of the main stage and the pilot stage on the flow characteristics of a concentric staged lean direct injection (LDI) combustor. The swirl numbers at different reference cross-sections were used to measure the swirling intensity of the two stages respectively. The results showed that the width and reverse flow rate of the central recirculation zone (CRZ) increased with the increment of Sv (the pilot stage outlet swirl number). The Sv constituting a threshold for significantly enhancing the reverse flow intensity of the CRZ was between 0.60 and 0.64. Upstream the CRZ vortex center, the main stage swirling flow brought about the radial expansion of the CRZ, but downstream it suppressed the CRZ and reduced the reverse flow rate. The flow characteristics changed significantly when Sn (the main stage swirl number at the flow passage outlet) increased from 0.46 to 0.60. Sv and Sn provided a better measure of the swirling intensity levels of the two stages respectively, relative to the swirl numbers defined at the outlet of the swirler vanes.
