How simulation enabled the design of the world's first 100% hydrogen-fueled gas turbine

Global demand for sustainable and highly-efficient hydrogen power generation is growing rapidly. However, hydrogen's high flammability and flame temperature presents complex combustion challenges.

In this case study, you'll learn how B&B-AGEMA GmbH, an independent service provider for professional power plant engineering and turbomachinery design, partnered with Kawasaki Heavy Industries to overcome challenges while designing the world’s first 100 percent hydrogen-fueled combustor.

Download the case study to learn how B&B-AGEMA and Kawasaki:

• Used Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to perform CFD investigations of the combustor
• Investigated burner options using design space exploration
• Used CHT simulations to predict thermal loading and part robustness
• Discovered new flame shapes
• Created a patented design that met all performance criteria
