Error analysis of large-eddy simulation of the turbulent non-premixed sydney bluff-body flame
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computational error analysis is applied to the large-eddy simulation of the turbulent non-premixed Sydney bluff-body flame, where the error is defined with respect to experimental data. The errorlandscape approach is extended to heterogeneous compressible turbulence, which is coupled to combustion as described by a flamelet model. The Smagorinsky model formulation is used to model the unknown turbulent stresses. We introduce several measures to quantify the total simulation error and observe a striking ‘valley-structure’ in the error that arises as function of the spatial resolution and the Smagorinsky length parameter. The optimal refinement strategy that can be extracted from this error-landscape is reminiscent of that for non-reacting turbulent flow. 2011 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc.

متن کاملLarge-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Combustion
In recent years, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has been successfully applied to non-premixed and premixed turbulent combustion problems [1, 2, 3]. In most technical combustion applications, the pure non-premixed or premixed combustion models are no longer valid, since partially premixed combustion has to be taken into account. An example is the stabilization region of a lifted non-premixed flame....
