A numerical model that calculates the 3D chemically reacting flowfield in an experimental low emission combustor is described. The ICEd-ALE finite volume computational methodology is employed in this study. Radial jets issuing from slanted slots interact with a cylindrical axially flowing mainstream to produce a bulk swirl velocity downstream of the slot region. The swirl pattern at a given axial station is composed of a clockwise rotating region near the wall and a counterclockwise rotating region extending from the combustor centerline. The jet radial penetration and downstream swirl velocity axial development are shown to depend principally on the jet-to-mainstream momentum flux ratio.
