Turbulent combustion modelling of a confined premixed methane/air jet flame using tabulated chemistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work addresses the coupling of a flamelet database that can accurately represent the flame structure in composition space with a low-Mach approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. An advancement of the CFI combustion model, which is currently based on laminar premixed flamelets, is used for chemistry tabulation. This model can be applied to different combustion regimes from premixed to non-premixed combustion, although this work is concentrated on turbulent premixed flames for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and large-eddy simulations (LES). A premixed confined jet flame, which has been investigated experimentally at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is used for validation in adiabatic conditions showing satisfactory agreement. © 2014 The Authors.

Numerical analysis of reaction-diffusion effects on species mixing rates in turbulent premixed methane-air
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 ...

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 (Turbulen...

A new modeling strategy is developed to introduce tabulated chemistry methods in LES of turbulent premixed combustion. The objective is to recover the correct laminar flame propagation speed of the filtered flame front when subgrid scale turbulence vanishes. The filtered flame structure is mapped by 1-D filtered laminar premixed flames. Closure of the filtered progress variable and the energy b...
