The combustion of hydrocarbons in a gas turbine will form the basis for aircraft propulsion for the foreseeable future. In order to minimize the environmental impact of this technology, novel combustion processes must be developed and loss processes within the gas turbine combustion chamber optimized. Current research areas relate to lean premixed combustion and the optimization of the cooling air requirement of the effusion-cooled combustion chamber wall. The aim of this work is to set up a gas turbine combustor...
