Download or read book Data Analysis for Direct Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Combustion written by Heinz Pitsch and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents methodologies for analysing large data sets produced by the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulence and combustion. It describes the development of models that can be used to analyse large eddy simulations, and highlights both the most common techniques and newly emerging ones. The chapters, written by internationally respected experts, invite readers to consider DNS of turbulence and combustion from a formal, data-driven standpoint, rather than one led by experience and intuition. This perspective allows readers to recognise the shortcomings of existing models, with the ultimate goal of quantifying and reducing model-based uncertainty. In addition, recent advances in machine learning and statistical inferences offer new insights on the interpretation of DNS data. The book will especially benefit graduate-level students and researchers in mechanical and aerospace engineering, e.g. those with an interest in general fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, and the environmental and atmospheric sciences.

Download or read book Turbulent Reactive Flows written by R. Borghi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent reactive flows are of common occurrance in combustion engineering, chemical reactor technology and various types of engines producing power and thrust utilizing chemical and nuclear fuels. Pollutant formation and dispersion in the atmospheric environment and in rivers, lakes and ocean also involve interactions between turbulence, chemical reactivity and heat and mass transfer processes. Considerable advances have occurred over the past twenty years in the understanding, analysis, measurement, prediction and control of turbulent reactive flows. Two main contributors to such advances are improvements in instrumentation and spectacular growth in computation: hardware, sciences and skills and data processing software, each leading to developments in others. Turbulence presents several features that are situation-specific. Both for that reason and a number of others, it is yet difficult to visualize a so-called solution of the turbulence problem or even a generalized approach to the problem. It appears that recognition of patterns and structures in turbulent flow and their study based on considerations of stability, interactions, chaos and fractal character may be opening up an avenue of research that may be leading to a generalized approach to classification and analysis and, possibly, prediction of specific processes in the flowfield. Predictions for engineering use, on the other hand, can be foreseen for sometime to come to depend upon modeling of selected features of turbulence at various levels of sophistication dictated by perceived need and available capability.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simulation of technological and environmental flows is very important for many industrial developments. A major challenge related to their modeling is to involve the characteristic turbulence that appears in most of these flows. The traditional way to tackle this question is to use deterministic equations where the effects of turbulence are directly parametrized, i. e. , assumed as functions of the variables considered. However, this approach often becomes problematic, in particular if reacting flows have to be simulated. In many cases, it turns out that appropriate approximations for the closure of deterministic equations are simply unavailable. The alternative to the traditional way of modeling turbulence is to construct stochastic models which explain the random nature of turbulence. The application of such models is very attractive: one can overcome the closure problems that are inherent to deterministic methods on the basis of relatively simple and physically consistent models. Thus, from a general point of view, the use of stochastic methods for turbulence simulations seems to be the optimal way to solve most of the problems related to industrial flow simulations. However, it turns out that this is not as simple as it looks at first glance. The first question concerns the numerical solution of stochastic equations for flows of environmental and technological interest. To calculate industrial flows, 3 one often has to consider a number of grid cells that is of the order of 100 .

This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of direct numerical simulations of chemically reacting turbulent mixing layers are presented. This is an extension of earlier work to a more detailed study of previous three dimensional simulations of cold reacting flows plus the development, validation, and use of codes to simulate chemically reacting shear layers with heat release. Additional analysis of earlier simulations showed good agreement with self similarity theory and laboratory data. Simulations with a two dimensional code including the effects of heat release showed that the rate of chemical product formation, the thickness of the mixing layer, and the amount of mass entrained into the layer all decrease with increasing rates of heat release. Subsequent three dimensional simulations showed similar behavior, in agreement with laboratory observations. Baroclinic torques and thermal expansion in the mixing layer were found to produce changes in the flame vortex structure that act to diffuse the pairing vortices, resulting in a net reduction in vorticity. Previously unexplained anomalies observed in the mean velocity profiles of reacting jets and mixing layers were shown to result from vorticity generation by baroclinic torques.

Download or read book Experiments and Numerical Simulations of Diluted Spray Turbulent Combustion written by Bart Merci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the outcome of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion held in 2009 in Corsica (France). The focus is on reporting the progress of experimental and numerical techniques in two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion. The motivation for studies in this area is that knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions in such flow systems is essential for the development of predictive models and their use in combustor and gas turbine design. This necessitates the development of accurate experimental methods and numerical modelling techniques. The workshop aimed at providing an opportunity for experts and young researchers to present the state-of-the-art, discuss new developments or techniques and exchange ideas in the areas of experimentations, modelling and simulation of reactive multiphase flows. The first two papers reflect the contents of the invited lectures, given by experts in the field of turbulent spray combustion. The first concerns computational issues, while the second deals with experiments. These lectures initiated very interesting and interactive discussions among the researchers, further pursued in contributed poster presentations. Contributions 3 and 4 focus on some aspects of the impact of the interaction between fuel evaporation and combustion on spray combustion in the context of gas turbines, while the final article deals with the interaction between evaporation and turbulence.

Arising from a programme held at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, this volume reviews the current situation regarding the prediction of such flows through the use of modern computational fluid dynamics techniques, and attempts to address the inherent problem of modelling turbulence. In particular, the current physical understanding of such flows is summarised and the resulting implications for simulation discussed. The volume continues by surveying current approximation methods whilst discussing their applicability to industrial problems. This major work concludes by providing a specific set of guidelines for selecting the most appropriate model for a given problem. Unique in its breadth and critical approach, this book will be of immense value to experienced practitioners and researchers, continuing the UK's strong tradition in fluid dynamics.
Download or read book A Reacting Jet Direct Numerical Simulation for Assessing Combustion Model Error written by Bryan William Reuter and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simulation of turbulent combustion systems is a vital tool in the design and development of new technologies for power generation, transportation, defense applications, and industrial heating. In an engineering design cycle, modeling realistic device configurations in a cost- and time-effective manner is required. Due to their flexibility and computational tractability, Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-based models are most commonly used for these purposes. However, these models are known to be inadequate. Turbulent combustion is the coupling of two multiscale, nonlinear phenomena which individually have many modeling challenges. Hence, it is unsurprising that the modeling ansatzes and simplifying assumptions which lead to these practical RANS-based models are suspect. Since RANS-based models will continue to be the dominant tool for turbulent combustion simulation, it is necessary to improve their predictivity through a better understanding of their deficiencies. The are three main modeling issues for turbulent combustion: modeling the turbulent flow, representing the chemical reactions, and capturing the interaction between the turbulence and the chemistry. Model errors can easily be conflated when attempting to quantify deficiencies in this multiphysics context where many individual models are coupled. This work introduces a new technique for isolating these errors through the creation of a flamelet-based direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a nonpremixed, temporally-evolving, planar, reacting jet. DNS is a technique which resolves all lengthscales and timescales of the turbulent flow, providing high-quality data for model development but at a significant computational cost. In the turbulent combustion context, the turbulence-chemistry interaction is also fully resolved. By closing the DNS with a steady laminar flamelet representation, a typical chemical reactions model for RANS-based simulations, RANS turbulence closures and turbulence-chemistry interaction models can be evaluated in isolation through a priori testing. Conversely, by comparing the flamelet DNS to a second DNS employing a higher-fidelity chemistry model, the flamelet closure and its impact on the flame's evolution can be interrogated directly. To obtain the DNS data, a novel algorithm for solving the variable-density, low-Mach Navier-Stokes equations extending the method of Kim, Moin, and Moser for incompressible flow is detailed here. It is a pseudospectral Fourier/B-spline collocation approach which obtains second order accuracy in time and numerical stability for large density ratios with an efficient, matrix-free, iterative treatment of the scalar equations. The a posteriori comparisons of the flamelet DNS and the complex chemistry DNS suggest the flamelet model can significantly alter the evolution of the mean state of the reacting jet; however, violations of global conservation were identified in the complex chemistry DNS. Therefore, no strong conclusions can be made about the chemical reactions model from the comparisons. Significant shortcomings have been identified in the a priori evaluations of the aforementioned RANS closures for turbulent transport, scalar mixing, and turbulence-chemistry interaction, where the flamelet model is taken to be exact. Finally, a flawed assumption in the steady laminar flamelet approach has been directly linked to nonphysical behavior of the density for small values of the scalar dissipation rate
