Large-eddy simulation of turbulent reacting flows

Large-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Reacting Flows

Numerical simulations of combustion in aircraft engines is quite complex, as it requires an adequate description of liquid fuel injection, liquid fuel atomization, drop breakup, drop dynamics, and evaporation, large-scale turbulent fuel air mixing, small scale molecular fuel air mixing, chemical reactions, and turbulence/chemistry interactions. In the present paper, we have identified three of ...

Large-Eddy Simulation of Reacting Turbulent Flows in Complex Geometries

Large-eddy simulation (LES) has traditionally been restricted to fairly simple geometries. This paper discusses LES of reacting flows in geometries as complex as commercial gas turbine engine combustors. The incompressible algorithm developed by Mahesh et al. (J. Comput. Phys., 2004, 197, 215–240) is extended to the zero Mach number equations with heat release. Chemical reactions are modeled us...

Large-eddy simulations of turbulent reacting stagnation point flows

A methodology for solving unsteady premixed turbulent flame propagation problems in high Reynolds number (Re), high Damkohler number (Da) spatially evolving flows is developed. The method is based on Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) with a subgrid combustion model based on the Linear-Eddy Model (Kerstein, 1991). An inter-LES cell burning mechanism has been added to the present formulation to account...
