A general, finite-difference, integration procedure is employed for the prediction of flow and mixing patterns in an axi-symmetrical combustion chamber. Gaseous fuel and air enter separately, the latter with a swirl component; the chemical reaction is presumed to be physically controlled; kinetic heating is neglected. The geometry of the chamber is such as to cause recirculation. The predictions are plausible in their qualitative features, but the effective-viscosity hypothesis requires considerable refinement before quantitative predictions can be reliably made.
