Large-eddy simulations of turbulent reacting stagnation point flows

چکیده
A methodology for solving unsteady premixed turbulent flame propagation problems in high Reynolds number (Re), high Damkohler number (Da) spatially evolving flows is developed. The method is based on Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) with a subgrid combustion model based on the Linear-Eddy Model (Kerstein, 1991). An inter-LES cell burning mechanism has been added to the present formulation to account for molecular diffusion (burning) across LES cells which was been neglected in earlier studies. Two-dimensional simulations of passive isotropic flame propagation using the LES-LEM for Re from 100 to 1000 are conducted to validate the subgrid and supergrid propagation mechanisms. Two models are used to simulate turbulent premixed stagnation point flames. The first model is a conventional approach which uses a thin flame model (Kerstein ti al, 1988) with and without significant heat release. The second model uses the LES-LEM approach without heat release. Qualitative comparisons between simulations and experimental data are made.

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
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...

Turbulence is a recurrent and recognised challenge for which the scientific community has not been able to provide reliable methodologies necessary for predictions in complex industrial applications. In fact and throughout the past century, that challenge has been identified as a million dollar achievement simply because of the tremendous impact such a contribution would have on existing indust...
