Transient Combustion Modeling of an Oscillating Lean Premixed Methane/air Flame
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate accurate low frequency transient turbulent combustion modeling. For accurate flame dynamics some improvements were made to the standard TFC combustion model for lean premixed combustion. With use of a 1D laminar flamelet code, predictions have been made for the laminar flame speed and the critical strain rate to improve the TFC (Turbulent Flame Speed Closure) combustion model. The computational fluid dynamics program CFX is used to perform transient simulations. These results were compared with experimental data of Weigand et al [1]. Two different turbulence models have been used for predictions of the turbulent flow.

Effect of Hydrogen Addition on the Flammability Limit of Stretched Methane/Air Premixed Flames
A computational study is performed to investigate the effects of hydrogen addition on the fundamental characteristics of stretched methane/air premixed flame in an opposed flow configuration. The problem is of interest as a potential application to gas turbines and spark-ignition engines, where it has been anticipated that addition of a small amount of hydrogen will extend the lean flammability...
متن کاملEffect of multistage combustion on NOx emissions in methane–air flames
Coflow and counterflow methane–air flames are simulated over a complete partially premixed regime in order to characterize the effects of dominant combustion modes (i.e., single-, two-, and three-stage combustion) on NOx emissions. Simulations employ a comprehensive numerical model that uses detailed descriptions of transport and chemistry (GRI-2.11 mechanism) and includes radiation effects. It...
متن کاملPremixed flame ignition by transient plasma discharges
Flame ignition by short-duration (≈ 50 ns) transient plasma, or corona, discharges was investigated for methane-air, propane-air and butane-air mixtures at atmospheric and elevated pressures. Such discharges produce a larger fraction of high-energy electrons, yield more spatially distributed energy and deposit energy in the gas more efficiently than conventional arc discharges do. We show that ...

Premixed methane-air mixture is introduced at the center of two parallel circular quartz plates separated by a millimeter scale distance (<or= 5mm). Two plates are heated with an external heater to create a positive temperature gradient condition along the flow direction. The combustion characteristics of lean methane-air mixtures are investigated at phi=0.67 and phi=0.85 in the laminar flow re...

The scalar mixing time scale, a key quantity in many turbulent combustion models, is investigated for reactive scalars in premixed combustion. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of three-dimensional, turbulent Bunsen flames with reduced methane-air chemistry have been analyzed in the thin reaction zones regime. Previous conclusions from single step chemistry DNS studies are confirmed regarding ...
