Flow forcing techniques for numerical simulation of combustion instabilities

Flow forcing techniques for numerical simulation of combustion instabilities

Investigation of combustion instabilities in gas turbine combustors require the knowledge of flame transfer functions. Those can be obtained by experimental measurement or by Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Since calculations are usually limited to a portion of the whole combustor, boundary conditions are of crucial importance. It is common practice to inject acoustic perturbations for the flame ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS OF ALUMINIDE INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS

Combustion synthesis is a special thermophysico-chemical process applied for production of intermetallic compounds. In the present work, a reaction–diffusion numerical model was developed to analyze the combustion synthesis of aluminide intermetallics by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis process. In order to verify the reliability of the numerical model, an experimental setup was desi...

Efficient numerical techniques for flow simulation in bubble column reactors

A dynamic Euler-Euler model for gas-liquid flows subject to mass transfer and simultaneous chemical reaction is assembled. The bubble size distribution is computed from an equation governing the evolution of average bubble mass. Highperformance finite element tools for numerical solution of the problem at hand are discussed. Computational results for the chemisorption of CO2 into NaOH shed some...

Numerical Simulation of Combustion with Porous Medium in I.C. Engine

Porous media has interesting features in compared with free flame combustion due to the extended of the lean flammability limits and lower emissions. Advanced new generation of internal combustion (IC) engines are expected to have far better emissions levels both gaseous and particulate matter, at the same time having far lower fuel consumption on a wide range of operating condition. These c...
