In this paper, effects of a standard plasma actuator on non-premixed turbulent reacting flows in a unique gas turbine combustion chamber have been studied numerically. The computational simulation is conducted by employing the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach. Chemical reaction kinetics has been modeled using the eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model. The numerical simulation has been carried out by Finite Element Methods. High voltage potential between two copper electrodes separated by a dielectric material has been applied which leads to the generation of plasma and an electric field, which creates a body force. It was found that by orienting the plasma force in the desired direction, combustion rate can be accelerated or controlled. The numerical results have been presented through velocity, temperature, and species concentration profiles under different combustion conditions.
