Abstract

A combustion chamber in a gas-turbine, wherein the combustion chamber has an annular-toroidal-shaped interior space. A plurality of burners are arranged on the periphery of the combustion chamber, wherein the burners are operatively connected to the annular-toroidal-shaped interior space so as to initiate a swirl flow. The swirl flow forms a vortex core and the vortex core ensures the stability of the flame front.
