On the space-time correlation of heat release rate in turbulent premixed flames
نویسنده
چکیده
The spectral characteristics of combustion noise is dictated by the temporal correlation of the heat release rate fluctuation. This paper investigates the two-point space-time correlation of heat release rate fluctuations by analysing recent direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of turbulent premixed flames. The results show that this correlation decays rapidly in both space and time due to the abrupt fluctuation of the heat release rate. The two-point space-time correlation can be modelled by Gaussian-type functions including the streamwise direction with strong convection. A flat low-frequency dependence is observed for the spectrum of the correlation function, which will allow the modelling of the spectral peak and the low-frequency spectral slope of combustion noise when multiplying the term ω (ω is the angular frequency). This exploratory work shows the potential of this correlation function for capturing the spectral shape of combustion noise.

Spatially resolved heat release rate measurements in turbulent premixed flames
Heat release rate is a fundamental property of great importance for the theoretical and experimental elucidation of unsteady flame behaviors such as combustion noise, combustion instabilities, and pulsed combustion. Investigations of such thermoacoustic interactions require a reliable indicator of heat release rate capable of resolving spatial structures in turbulent flames. Traditionally, heat...
متن کاملSpatial correlation of heat release rate and sound emission from turbulent premixed flames
The two-point spatial correlation of the rate of change of fluctuating heat release rate is central to the sound emission from open turbulent flames, and a few attempts have been made to address this correlation in recent studies. In this paper, the two-point correlation and its role in combustion noise are studied by analysing direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of statistically multi-dimen...
متن کاملThermal Radiation Properties of Turbulent Lean Premixed Methane Air Flames
Thermal radiation properties of turbulent premixed flames have received little attention in the past perhaps because of the lower radiative heat loss compared with that for non-premixed flames. However, the high-temperature sensitivity of NO kinetics and the importance of radiation in near-limit laminar premixed flames provide fundamental reasons for studies of radiation properties of turbulent...

A compressible single step chemistry Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database of freely propagating premixed flames has been used to analyze different entropy generation mechanisms. The entropy generation due to viscous dissipation within the flames remains negligible in comparison to the other mechanisms of entropy generation. It has been found that the entropy generation increases significa...
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...
