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 Engine Spray and Combustion Processes

Download or read book Modeling Engine Spray and Combustion Processes written by Gunnar Stiesch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The utilization of mathematical models to numerically describe the performance of internal combustion engines is of great significance in the development of new and improved engines. Today, such simulation models can already be viewed as standard tools, and their importance is likely to increase further as available com puter power is expected to increase and the predictive quality of the models is constantly enhanced. This book describes and discusses the most widely used mathematical models for in-cylinder spray and combustion processes, which are the most important subprocesses affecting engine fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The relevant thermodynamic, fluid dynamic and chemical principles are summarized, and then the application of these principles to the in-cylinder processes is ex plained. Different modeling approaches for the each subprocesses are compared and discussed with respect to the governing model assumptions and simplifica tions. Conclusions are drawn as to which model approach is appropriate for a specific type of problem in the development process of an engine. Hence, this book may serve both as a graduate level textbook for combustion engineering stu dents and as a reference for professionals employed in the field of combustion en gine modeling. The research necessary for this book was carried out during my employment as a postdoctoral scientist at the Institute of Technical Combustion (ITV) at the Uni versity of Hannover, Germany and at the Engine Research Center (ERC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.

Book A Multi dimensional Flamelet Model for Ignition in Multi feed Combustion Systems

Download or read book A Multi dimensional Flamelet Model for Ignition in Multi feed Combustion Systems written by Eric Michael Doran and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work develops a computational framework for modeling turbulent combustion in multi-feed systems that can be applied to internal combustion engines with multiple injections. In the first part of this work, the laminar flamelet equations are extended to two dimensions to enable the representation of a three-feed system that can be characterized by two mixture fractions. A coupling between the resulting equations and the turbulent flow field that enables the use of this method in unsteady simulations is then introduced. Models are developed to describe the scalar dissipation rates of each mixture fraction, which are the parameters that determine the influence of turbulent mixing on the flame structure. Furthermore, a new understanding of the function of the joint dissipation rate of both mixture fractions is discussed. Next, the extended flamelet equations are validated using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of multi-stream ignition that employ detailed finite-rate chemistry. The results demonstrate that the ignition of the overall mixture is influenced by heat and mass transfer between the fuel streams and that this interaction is manifested as a front propagation in two-dimensional mixture fraction space. The flamelet model is shown to capture this behavior well and is therefore able to accurately describe the ignition process of each mixture. To provide closure between the flamelet chemistry and the turbulent flow field, information about the joint statistics of the two mixture fractions is required. An investigation of the joint probability density function (PDF) was carried out using DNS of two scalars mixing in stationary isotropic turbulence. It was found that available models for the joint PDF lack the ability to conserve all second-order moments necessary for an adequate description of the mixing field. A new five parameter bivariate beta distribution was therefore developed and shown to describe the joint PDF more accurately throughout the entire mixing time and for a wide range of initial conditions. Finally, the proposed model framework is applied in the simulation of a split-injection diesel engine and compared with experimental results. A range of operating points and different injection strategies are investigated. Comparisons with the experimental pressure traces show that the model is able to predict the ignition delay of each injection and the overall combustion process with good accuracy. These results indicate that the model is applicable to the range of regimes found in diesel combustion.

Book Modification and Improvement of Software for Modeling Multidimensional Reacting Fuel Flow

Download or read book Modification and Improvement of Software for Modeling Multidimensional Reacting Fuel Flow written by Mark Angevine and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a project to develop computational models of reacting flows that combine the efforts of detailed chemical kinetics with complex fluid mechanics to form an integrated analytical code. Initial efforts were aimed at solutions for counterflow diffusion flames; this model incorporated both finite rate chemistry and complex kinetic theory transport effects. Next, a flame sheet model was used to provide improved starting estimates for the calculations. A combination of time integration and Newton's method was used to solve the flame sheet and finite rate equations. Success with the one dimensional model led to the development of a more generalized two-dimensional model. A parallel effort investigated ways to improve the computational efficiency of the primitive variable implementation of the TEACH code. Further generalization of these ideas to axisymmetric (laminar and turbulent) diffusion flame studies will be the focus of a follow on project. Keywords: Teach Code; Reacting Flows; Chemical Kinetics; Finite Rate Chemistry; Kinetic Theory Transport Effects; Flame Sheet Models; Combustion Modeling; Computational Fluid Dynamics.
