Investigation of the “tecflam” Non-premixed Flame Using Large Eddy Simulation and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition

چکیده
The confined turbulent swirling non-premixed TECFLAM S09c flame has been investigated using Large Eddy Simulation and a pre-calculated mixture-fraction-based flamelet model in a preliminary step to simulate this flame. The simplified formulation, despite the fact that it cannot capture localized extinction, is found to reproduce the experimentally-observed vortex breakdown and the results agree well with available experimental data for velocity and mixture fraction. The unsteady flow features before the burner exit and inside the combustion chamber are analyzed with spectral analysis, correlations, and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. The results show the presence of longitudinal vortices whose axes rotate with the swirl and which cause separation inside the inlet pipe. With combustion, some of these structures are damped and the spectral peaks shift to higher frequencies.

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 In most technical combustion applications, the pure non-premixed or premixed combustion models are no longer valid, since partially premixed combustion has to be taken into account.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....

In this study, turbulent flow around a tube bundle in non-orthogonal grid is simulated using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique and parallelization of fully coupled Navier – Stokes (NS) equations. To model the small eddies, the Smagorinsky and a mixed model was used. This model represents the effect of dissipation and the grid-scale and subgrid-scale interactions. The fully coupled NS eq...
