Abstract
This paper describes recent work at Cardiff to gain further understanding of the fundamental processes occurring in swirl burners. The phenomenon of the precessing vortex core has been characterized via the use of a two-component laser anemometry system and the signal from a hot-wire anemometry probe for triggering purposes. This has allowed the rotating three-dimensional flow associated with the precessing vortex core to be characterized for the first time at different downstream sections. Regions of reversed mean tangential velocity have been identified while new insights into the basic structure of the reverse flow zone have been provided.
