.... As several materials systems and concepts remain competitive, a new approach that couples finite element analysis (FEA) and established multicriteria optimization protocols is developed in this paper. To demonstrate the approach, a prototypical materials selection problem for gas turbine combustor liners...

... response. The physical motivation of this problem is thermoacoustic dynamics in a gas turbine combustor. The spatial domain is periodic (passive annular acoustics) which are driven by heat released from a combustion process, and with sufficient driving through this nonlinear feedback a limit cycle...

...K. Mahesh; G. Constantinescu; S. Apte; G. Iaccarino; F. Ham; P. Moin Large-eddy simulation (LES) has traditionally been restricted to fairly simple geometries. This paper discusses LES of reacting flows in geometries as complex as commercial gas turbine engine combustors. The incompressible...
