Abstract
A burner apparatus () includes a fluid-based flame stabilizer for discharging a stabilized flame therefrom, a burner tile (), and fuel lances associated with the burner tile. Each of the fuel lances has a discharge nozzle (). A Coanda feature () having a Coanda surface directs a portion of the stabilized flame from the passage defined by the burner tile at the discharge end of a primary flow passage () toward at least one first fuel lance of the plurality of fuel lances to cross light the at least one first fuel lance. In another embodiment, a method of combustion includes supplying a first gaseous fuel to fuel lances of a burner apparatus and igniting and sustaining combustion of a gaseous fuel by cross lighting at the discharge nozzles of the fuel lances by flow from the fluid-based flame stabilizer along a Coanda surface of a Coanda feature toward the discharge nozzles.
