Book Experiments and Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Combustion of Diluted Sprays

Download or read book Experiments and Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Combustion of Diluted Sprays written by Bart Merci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the results of the 2nd and 3rd International Workshops on Turbulent Spray Combustion. The focus is on progress in experiments and numerical simulations for two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion. Knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions allows development of predictive models and their use in combustor and gas turbine design. Experts and young researchers present the state-of-the-art results, report on the latest developments and exchange ideas in the areas of experiments, modelling and simulation of reactive multiphase flows. The first chapter reflects on flame structure, auto-ignition and atomization with reference to well-characterized burners, to be implemented by modellers with relative ease. The second chapter presents an overview of first simulation results on target test cases, developed at the occasion of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion. In the third chapter, evaporation rate modelling aspects are covered, while the fourth chapter deals with evaporation effects in the context of flamelet models. In chapter five, LES simulation results are discussed for variable fuel and mass loading. The final chapter discusses PDF modelling of turbulent spray combustion. In short, the contributions in this book are highly valuable for the research community in this field, providing in-depth insight into some of the many aspects of dilute turbulent spray combustion.

Book Advanced Spray and Combustion Modelling

Download or read book Advanced Spray and Combustion Modelling written by Ahmed Abed Al-Kadhem Majhool and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis presents work across three different subjects of investigations into the modelling of spray development and its interaction with non-reactive and reactive flow. The first part of this research is aimed to create a new and robust family of convective scheme to capture the interface between the dispersed and the carrier phases without the need to build up the interface boundary. The selection of Weighted Average Flux (WAF) scheme is due to this scheme being designed to deal with random flux scheme which is second-order accurate in space and time. The convective flux in each cell face utilizes the WAF scheme blended with Switching Technique for Advection and Capturing of Surfaces (STACS) scheme for high resolution flux limiters. However in the next step, the high resolution scheme is blended with the scheme to provide the sharpness and boundedness of the interface by using switching strategy. The proposed scheme is tested on capturing the spray edges in modelling hollow cone type sprays without need to reconstruct two-phase interface. A test comparison between TVD scheme and WAF scheme using the same flux limiter on convective flow on hollow cone spray is presented. Results show that the WAF scheme gives better prediction than the TVD scheme. The only way to check the accuracy of the presented models are evaluations according to physical droplets behaviour and its interaction with air. In the second part, due to the effect of evaporation the temperature profile in the released fuel vapour has been proposed. The underlying equation utilizes transported vapour mass fraction. It can be used along with the solution of heat transfer inside a sphere. After applying boundary conditions, the equation can provide a solution of existing conditions at liquid-gas interface undergoing evaporation and it is put in a form similar to well-known one-third rule equation. The resulting equation is quadratic type that gives an accurate prediction for the thermo-physical properties due to the non-linear relation between measured properties and temperature. Comparisons are made with one-third rule where both equations are implemented in simulating hollow cone spray under evaporation conditions. The results show the presumed equation performs better than one-third rule in all comparisons. The third part of this research is about a conceptual model for turbulent spray combustion for two combustion regimes that has been proposed and tested for n-heptane solid cone spray type injected into a high-pressure, high-temperature open reactor by comparing to the available experimental data and to results obtained using two well known combustion models named the Combined Combustion Model (CCM) and the unsteady two-dimensional conditional moment closure (CMC) model. A single-zone intermittent beta-two equation turbulent model is suggested to characterise the Lumped zone. This model can handle both unburned and burned zones. Intermittency theory is used to account for the spatially non-uniform distribution of viscous dissipation. The model suggests that the Lumped zone can be identified by using the concept of Tennekes and Kuo-Corrsion of isotropic turbulence that suggests that dissipative eddies are most probably formed as vortex tubes with a diameter of the order of Kolmogorov length scale and a space of the order of Taylor length scale. Due to the complexity of mixture motion in the combustion chamber, there exist coherent turbulent small scale structures containing highly dissipative vortices. The small size eddies play an important role in extinguishing a diffusion spray flame and have an effect on the combustion reaction at molecular scale because small scales turbulence increase heat transfer due to the dissipation. A common hypothesis in constructing part of the model is if the Kolmogorov length scale is larger than the turbulent flame thickness. The Lumped strategy benefits from capturing small reactive scales information provided by numerics to improve the modelling and understand the exact implementation of the underlying chemical hypothesis. The Lumped rate is estimated from the ratio of the turbulent diffusion to reaction flame thickness. Three different initial gas temperature test cases are implemented in simulations. Lumped spray combustion model shows a very good agreement with available experimental data concerning auto-ignition delay points.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing physics-based tools to aid in reducing harmful combustion emissions, like Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Unburnt Hydrocarbons (UHC's), and Sulfur Dioxides (SOx), is an important goal of aeronautics research at NASA. As part of that effort, NASA Glenn Research Center is performing a detailed assessment and validation of an in-house combustion CFD code known as the National Combustion Code (NCC) for turbulent reacting flows. To assess the current capabilities of NCC for simulating turbulent reacting flows with liquid jet fuel injection, a set of Single Swirler Lean Direct Injection (LDI) experiments performed at the University of Cincinnati was chosen as an initial validation data set. This Jet-A/air combustion experiment operates at a lean equivalence ratio of 0.75 at atmospheric pressure and has a 4 percent static pressure drop across the swirler. Detailed comparisons of NCC predictions for gas temperature and gaseous emissions (CO and NOx) against this experiment are considered in a previous work. The current paper is focused on detailed comparisons of the spray characteristics (radial profiles of drop size distribution and at several radial rakes) from NCC simulations against the experimental data. Comparisons against experimental data show that the use of the correlation for primary spray break-up implemented by Raju in the NCC produces most realistic results, but this result needs to be improved. Given the single or ten step chemical kinetics models, use of a spray size correlation gives similar, acceptable results.
