Large-eddy simulation of a turbulent piloted methaneÕair diffusion flame „Sandia flame D..

چکیده
The Lagrangian Flamelet Model is formulated as a combustion model for large-eddy simulations of turbulent jet diffusion flames. The model is applied in a large-eddy simulation of a piloted partially premixed methane/air diffusion flame ~Sandia flame D!. The results of the simulation are compared to experimental data of the mean and RMS of the axial velocity and the mixture fraction and the unconditional and conditional averages of temperature and various species mass fractions, including CO and NO. All quantities are in good agreement with the experiments. The results indicate in accordance with experimental findings that regions of high strain appear in layer like structures, which are directed inwards and tend to align with the reaction zone, where the turbulence is fully developed. The analysis of the conditional temperature and mass fractions reveals a strong influence of the partial premixing of the fuel. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S1070-6631~00!50910-6#

Improved Pollutant Predictions in Large-eddy Simulations of Turbulent Non-premixed Combustion by Considering Scalar Dissipation Rate Fluctuations
In this study a new formulation of the unsteady flamelet model is derived to account for the locally resolved distribution of the scalar dissipation rate obtained from large-eddy simulations (LES). Starting from the unsteady flamelet equations, a transformation leads to an Eulerian flamelet model, in which the scalar dissipation rate appears as function of time, space, and mixture fraction. In ...

Predictions of scalar mixing and the scalar dissipation rate from large-eddy simulations of a piloted nonpremixed methane/air diffusion flame (Sandia flame D) using the Lagrangian-type flamelet model are presented. The results obtained for the unconditionally filtered scalar dissipation rate are qualitatively compared with general observations of scalar mixing from experiments in non-reactive a...

We analyze the evolution of a diffusion flame in a turbulent mixing layer using large-eddy simulation. The large-eddy simulation includes Leray regularization of the convective transport and approximate inverse filtering to represent the chemical source terms. The Leray model is compared to the more conventional dynamic mixed model. The location of the flame-center is defined by the ‘stoichiome...

Abstract The grid dependence of LES of a piloted methane-air (Sandia D) flame is studied on a series of grids with progressively increased resolution reaching about 10 million cells. Chemical compositions, density and temperature fields are modeled based on the evolution of mixture fraction combined with a steady flamelet model. However, to minimize interpolation uncertainties that are routinel...
