Modeling of a Turbulent Ethylene/air Jet Flame Using Hybrid Finite Volume/monte Carlo Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detailed modeling of an experimental ethylene/air jet flame is undertaken using the composition PDF method for gas-phase kinetics coupled with detailed models for soot formation and radiation from the flames. The gas-phase kinetics is modeled using a reduced mechanism for ethylene consisting of 33 species and 205 elementary reactions. The soot formation is modeled using the method of moments with a simplified nucleation mechanism and modified surface-HACA mechanism for surface growth and oxidation. The soot formation is coupled directly with a transported PDF approach to account for turbulence–chemistry interactions in gas-phase chemistry and the highly nonlinear soot formation processes. Radiation from soot and combustion gases is accounted for by using a photon Monte Carlo method coupled with nongray properties for soot and gases. Soot particles are assumed to be small, and scattering effects are neglected. Turbulence–radiation interactions are captured accurately. Simulation results are compared to experimental data, and also with less CPU-intensive radiation calculations using the optically thin approximation.

Three-dimensional Modeling with Monte Carlo–probability Density Function Methods and Laser Diagnostics of the Combustion in a Two-stroke Engine
A Monte Carlo–probability density function (pdf) method based on a Lagrangian particle technique to calculate the transported pdf of the thermochemical (scalar) properties has been implemented in the finite volume code KIVA-3 to model three-dimensional premixed transient combustion in a two-stroke engine. The main advantage of the pdf method is that chemical reactions in turbulent flows can be ...

We report a large-eddy simulation (LES)/probability density function (PDF) modeling study of a turbulent lifted ethylene jet flame in a heated air coflow, using a 22-species reduced chemical mechanism. In this flame, the central ethylene jet is ignited by the heated coflow, and the lifted jet flame base stabilization reaches a statistically stationary state. In this LES/PDF study, the filtered ...

متن کاملUse of Stochastic Turbulence Models in Jet Acoustics
There are many approaches to determine the sound propagated from turbulent flows. In hybrid methods, the turbulent noise source field is computed or modeled separately from the far-field calculations. To have an initial and quick estimation of the sound propagation, less computationally intensive methods can be developed using stochastic models of the turbulent fluctuations. In this paper, ...
