Book Mathematical Modeling of Separated Two phase Turbulent Reactive Flows Using a Filtered Mass Density Function Approach for Large Eddy Simulation

Download or read book Mathematical Modeling of Separated Two phase Turbulent Reactive Flows Using a Filtered Mass Density Function Approach for Large Eddy Simulation written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall objective of this dissertation is the development of a modeling and simulation approach for turbulent two-phase chemically reacting flows. A new full velocity-scalar filtered mass density function (FMDF) formulation for large eddy simulation (LES) of a separated two-phase flow is developed. In this formulation several terms require modeling that include important conditionally averaged phase-coupling terms (PCT). To close the PCT a new derivation of the local instantaneous two-phase equations is presented and important identities are derived relating the PCT to surface averages. The formulation is then applied for two particle laden flow cases and solved using a full particle based Monte-Carlo numerical solution procedure. The first case is a temporally developing counter-current mixing layer dilutely seeded with evaporating water droplets. Validation studies reveal excellent agreement of the full particle method to previous hybrid FDF studies and direct numerical simulations for single-phase flows. One-way coupled simulations reveal that the overall dispersion is maximized with unity Stokes number droplets. Two-way coupled simulations reveal the advantages of two FDF approaches where the subgrid variation of droplet properties are explicitly taken into account. Comparisons of the fully-coupled FDF approach are compared to more approximate means of determining phase-coupling based on filtered properties and local and compounded global errors are assessed. The second case considered is the combustion aluminum particles. A new mechanistic model for the ignition and combustion of aluminum particulate is developed that accounts for unsteady heating, melting, heterogeneous surface reactions (HSR) and quasi-steady burning. Results of this model agree well with experimental data for overall burn rates and ignition times. Two-phase simulations of aluminum particulate seeded mixing layer reveal the variations in flame radius resulting in local extinguishment from SGS variations in gas oxidizer.

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.

Book Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of Turbulent Reactive Flows Using a Hybrid LES PDF Methodology

Download or read book Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of Turbulent Reactive Flows Using a Hybrid LES PDF Methodology written by João Marcelo Vedovoto and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work is devoted to the development and implementation of a computational framework to perform numerical simulations of low Mach number turbulent reactive flows. The numerical algorithm designed for solving the transport equations relies on a fully implicit predictor-corrector integration scheme. A physically consistent constraint is retained to ensure that the velocity field is solved correctly, and the numerical solver is extensively verified using the Method of Manufactured Solutions (MMS) in both incompressible and variable-density situations. The final computational model relies on a hybrid Large Eddy Simulation / transported Probability Density Function (LES-PDF) framework. Two different turbulence closures are implemented to represent the residual stresses: the classical and the dynamic Smagorinsky models. The specification of realistic turbulent inflow boundary conditions is also addressed in details, and three distinct methodologies are implemented. The crucial importance of this issue with respect to both inert and reactive high fidelity numerical simulations is unambiguously assessed. The influence of residual sub-grid scale scalar fluctuations on the filtered chemical reaction rate is taken into account within the Lagrangian PDF framework. The corresponding PDF model makes use of a Monte Carlo technique: Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE) equivalent to the Fokker-Planck equations are solved for the progress variable of chemical reactions. With the objective of performing LES of turbulent reactive flows in complex geometries, the use of distributed computing is mandatory, and the retained domain decomposition algorithm displays very satisfactory levels of speed-up and efficiency. Finally, the capabilities of the resulting computational model are illustrated on two distinct experimental test cases: the first is a two-dimensional highly turbulent premixed flame established between two streams of fresh reactants and hot burnt gases which is stabilized in a square cross section channel flow. The second is an unconfined high velocity turbulent jet of premixed reactants stabilized by a large co-flowing stream of burned products.

Book Modeling and Simulation of Turbulent Flows

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation of Turbulent Flows written by Roland Schiestel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title provides the fundamental bases for developing turbulence models on rational grounds. The main different methods of approach are considered, ranging from statistical modelling at various degrees of complexity to numerical simulations of turbulence. Each of these various methods has its own specific performances and limitations, which appear to be complementary rather than competitive. After a discussion of the basic concepts, mathematical tools and methods for closure, the book considers second order closure models. Emphasis is placed upon this approach because it embodies potentials for clarifying numerous problems in turbulent shear flows. Simpler, generally older models are then presented as simplified versions of the more general second order models. The influence of extra physical parameters is also considered. Finally, the book concludes by examining large Eddy numerical simulations methods. Given the book’s comprehensive coverage, those involved in the theoretical or practical study of turbulence problems in fluids will find this a useful and informative read.

Book Turbulent Combustion Modeling

Download or read book Turbulent Combustion Modeling written by Tarek Echekki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent combustion sits at the interface of two important nonlinear, multiscale phenomena: chemistry and turbulence. Its study is extremely timely in view of the need to develop new combustion technologies in order to address challenges associated with climate change, energy source uncertainty, and air pollution. Despite the fact that modeling of turbulent combustion is a subject that has been researched for a number of years, its complexity implies that key issues are still eluding, and a theoretical description that is accurate enough to make turbulent combustion models rigorous and quantitative for industrial use is still lacking. In this book, prominent experts review most of the available approaches in modeling turbulent combustion, with particular focus on the exploding increase in computational resources that has allowed the simulation of increasingly detailed phenomena. The relevant algorithms are presented, the theoretical methods are explained, and various application examples are given. The book is intended for a relatively broad audience, including seasoned researchers and graduate students in engineering, applied mathematics and computational science, engine designers and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) practitioners, scientists at funding agencies, and anyone wishing to understand the state-of-the-art and the future directions of this scientifically challenging and practically important field.

Book Modeling Complex Turbulent Flows

Download or read book Modeling Complex Turbulent Flows written by Manuel D. Salas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence modeling both addresses a fundamental problem in physics, 'the last great unsolved problem of classical physics,' and has far-reaching importance in the solution of difficult practical problems from aeronautical engineering to dynamic meteorology. However, the growth of supercom puter facilities has recently caused an apparent shift in the focus of tur bulence research from modeling to direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES). This shift in emphasis comes at a time when claims are being made in the world around us that scientific analysis itself will shortly be transformed or replaced by a more powerful 'paradigm' based on massive computations and sophisticated visualization. Although this viewpoint has not lacked ar ticulate and influential advocates, these claims can at best only be judged premature. After all, as one computational researcher lamented, 'the com puter only does what I tell it to do, and not what I want it to do. ' In turbulence research, the initial speculation that computational meth ods would replace not only model-based computations but even experimen tal measurements, have not come close to fulfillment. It is becoming clear that computational methods and model development are equal partners in turbulence research: DNS and LES remain valuable tools for suggesting and validating models, while turbulence models continue to be the preferred tool for practical computations. We believed that a symposium which would reaffirm the practical and scientific importance of turbulence modeling was both necessary and timely.

Download or read book Turbulent Combustion written by Norbert Peters and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. Combustion always takes place within a turbulent flow field for two reasons: turbulence increases the mixing process and enhances combustion, but at the same time combustion releases heat which generates flow instability through buoyancy, thus enhancing the transition to turbulence. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.
