Development of Reduced Mechanisms for Numerical Modelling of Turbulent Combustion
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent advances in automation of systematically reduced mechanisms are reported here with the aim to accelerate the development process. A computer algorithm has been developed enabling fast generation and testing of reduced chemistry. This algorithm has been used to develop various reduced mechanisms of methane-air combustion for modelling of turbulent combustion. A 10-step reduced chemistry has been extensively tested showing good performances in predicting a wide range of flame phenomena, including general flame characteristics, flame extinction limits, flame propagation speeds, and auto-ignition delay times. Strategies for using such extensive reduced chemistry for modelling turbulent combustion are briefly discussed.

The Stochastic Fields approach is an effective way to implement transported Probability Density Function modelling into Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent combustion. In premixed turbulent combustion however, thin flame-like structures arise in the solution of the Stochastic Fields equations that require grid spacing much finer than the filter scale used for the Large Eddys Simulation. The conv...
