An overview is provided of a CFD assessment with advanced fuel blends to assess fuel impacts on NOx emissions and flame structure in an axially-staged combustor for NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Transport (CST) Program. The National Combustor Code (OpenNCC) was used to perform two-phase reacting flow computations with various blending ratios of two different aviation fuels, ‘average’ Jet-A (A2) and GEVO-ATJ (C1), for UTRC’s Axially Controlled Stoichiometry (ACS) combustor at CST cruise conditions. The predicted flame structures in the ACS combustor with three different blending ratios of A2 and C1 fuel were very similar to each other. The predicted NOx emissions for all fuel blends were within 10% of the experimentally measured NOx emissions for 100% A2 fuel.
