A flamelet model for premixed stretched flames
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mass-based stretch rate is introduced. Combining this stretch rate with the conservation equations for premixed flames gives a set of quasi-one-dimensional flamelet equations, which describe the structure and the mass burning rate of these flames. An integral analysis is applied to the flamelet equations and subsequently a general expression for the mass burning rate of stretched flames is derived. Finally, the mass burning rate is computed for weakly stretched methane/air flames.

Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Bunsen Flames with a Level Set Flamelet Model
An extension to the level set flamelet model of Peters [1] for premixed turbulent combustion that takes the effects of cold ambient air entrainment into account is presented. The model is valid in the flamelet regime, where the reaction zone thickness is smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale. The inner structure of the instantaneous flame front is taken into account by a presumed pdf approac...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of reaction-diffusion effects on species mixing rates in turbulent premixed methane-air
The scalar mixing time scale, a key quantity in many turbulent combustion models, is investigated for reactive scalars in premixed combustion. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of three-dimensional, turbulent Bunsen flames with reduced methane-air chemistry have been analyzed in the thin reaction zones regime. Previous conclusions from single step chemistry DNS studies are confirmed regarding ...

Abstract A flamelet-based approach that accounts for turbulence-chemistry interaction has been formulated to simulate NOx formation in turbulent lean premixed combustion. In the simulations, the species NO is transported and solved with the chemical source term being modelled through its formation in flame fronts and its formation rate in post-flame regions. The flame-front NO and post-flame NO...
متن کاملAn elementary model for the validation of flamelet approximations in non-premixed turbulent combustion
The fundamental soundness of three flamelet models for non-premixed turbulent combustion is examined on the basis of their performance in an idealized model problem that merges ideas from the laminar asymptotic theory for non-premixed flames and rigorous homogenization theory for the diffusion of a passive scalar. The overall flame configuration is stabilized by a mean gradient in the passive s...
متن کاملSubgrid Combustion Modeling for Premixed Turbulent Reacting Flows *
Two combustion models for turbulent premixed combustion in the flamelet regime are developed for unsteady simulations. The first model is a convensional G equation flamelet model and the main issues discussed are the subgrid closure. The second model is based on the Linear-Eddy Model. Both models are used in simulation of turbulent stagnation point flames. The heat release and turbulence intens...
