Computational fluid dynamics (CFDs)-based predictions are presented for nonpremixed and partially premixed flames burning vaporized n-heptane fuel. Three state-of-the-art chemical kinetics models are incorporated into a tim...

A Mixture Fraction Combustion Model for Fire Simulation Using Cfd

CFD simulations of steam cracking furnaces using detailed combustion mechanisms

A three-dimensional mathematical model has been developed for the simulation of flow, temperature and concentration fields in the radiation section of industrial scale steam cracking units. The model takes into account turbulence–chemistry interactions through the Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) model and makes use of Detailed Reaction Kinetics (DRK), which allows the detailed investigation of t...

CFD Simulation of HSDI Engine Combustion Using VECTIS

As part of the VECTIS code validation programme, CFD simulations were conducted to investigate direct-inject (DI) diesel engine combustion with the newly implemented Ricardo Two-Zone Flamelet (RTZF) combustion model. A small HSDI research engine was chosen as subject. The simulation programme consisted of 6 cases forming a complete injection time swing. CFD simulation results were compared dire...

Initiation in H2/o2: Rate Constants for H2 O2 → H Ho2 at High Temperature

The reaction between H2 and O2 has been studied in a reflected shock tube apparatus between temperatures of 1662–2097 K and pressures of 400–570 torr with Kr as the diluent gas. O atom atomic resonance absorption spectrometry (ARAS) was used to observe absolute [O]t under conditions of low [H2]0 so that most secondary reactions were negligible. Hence, the observed [O]t was the direct result of ...
