Turbulent combustion statistics in a diffusion flame for space propulsion applications

The usage of direct numerical simulations for research turbulent combustion space propulsion applications is explored. With this goal in mind, the near injection a fuel-rich methane–oxygen flame at 20 bar simulated using massively parallelized solver. statistical properties relevant physical fields are examined to study interactions between turbulence and combustion. This analysis complemented by an investigation quantification error sources diffusion flame. A method estimate derived based on classical inference theory. In addition, critical resolution criteria discussed mesh sensitivity analysis.
