Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bray-Moss model for turbulent, premixed combustion is applied to plane, oblique combustion waves. The analysis takes into account the influence of turbulence and inhomogeneity on the effective rate of heat release, and also the competing effects of dilatation and turbulence production due to shear in the turbulence kinetic energy balance. Predictions are made of the flame speed and the structure of the reaction zone in cases where turbulent mixing is rate limiting. Qualitative agreement is found with relevant experimentat data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A work on turbulent premixed combustion is important because of increased concern about the environmental impact of combustion and the search for new combustion concepts and technologies. An improved understanding of lean fuel turbulent premixed flames must play a central role in the fundamental science of these new concepts. Lean premixed flames have the potential to offer ultra-low emission levels, but they are notoriously susceptible to combustion oscillations. Thus, sophisticated control measures are inevitably required. The editors' intent is to set out the modeling aspects in the field of turbulent premixed combustion. Good progress has been made on this topic, and this cohesive volume contains contributions from international experts on various subtopics of the lean premixed flame problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research has been concerned with two topics in premixed turbulent combustion. One relates to a continuation of the research on the discovery of new mechanisms for turbulent transport and turbulence generation arising from the interaction of mean force fields due to gradients of either pressure or shear stresses and density variations. These earlier studies consider infinite planar flames and since the mechanisms in question are confined to the flames themselves, the question arises as to their applied significance and importance in determining global features of turbulent flows consisting of two regions of uniform density on each side of a flame. To examine this question we have extended the analysis to provide a unified theory for the description of all three regions. The second topics relates to the consideration of the length and time scales of the temperature field in a premixed turbulent flame. The time history of the temperature at a point within such a flame involves alternately high and low values corresponsing respectively to the passage of products and reactants. By appropriate normalization such a history can be made into a telegraph signal whose statistical characteristics provide information on the time scales of the temperature field. We have shown that an analysis of these characteristics leads to a model for an important quantity in the phenomenology of premixed turbulent combustion, namely the mean rate of chemical reaction.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-fidelity simulation of turbulent premixed combustion is desirable for the design of advanced energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly combustion engines. An attractive high-fidelity simulation approach that is applicable to practical combustion problems is the large eddy simulation (LES), in which the large-scale dynamics of flame-turbulence interaction are resolved down to a filter scale while the sub-filter phenomena are modeled. Since the grid size in practical LES is typically comparable to or larger than the flame front thickness, the filtered flame front is not well resolved when the filter size is taken as the grid size. Under such a condition, the spurious propagation of the filtered flame front can occur. To overcome this challenge, the front propagation formulation (FPF) method that was originally proposed to simulate propagating reaction fronts on under-resolved grids is extended to LES of turbulent premixed combustion. The closure of the regularized Dirac delta function, which FPF uses to minimize the spurious propagation, is investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) data for statistically planar premixed flames propagating in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. As a key ingredient in the sub-filter flame speed model that is required for the FPF method and many other combustion models, the flame wrinkling in the DNS dataset is studied in the context of fractals. The results show that, for the flames investigated in the DNS, the fractal dimension increases with the Reynolds number and the inner cut-off scale is on the order of the flame thickness. The FPF-LES framework is validated for a non-piloted Bunsen flame in the corrugated flamelet regime and a piloted Bunsen flame in the thin reaction zone regime. In both cases, the predicted results compare reasonably well with experimental measurements, demonstrating the performance of the FPF-LES framework. In LES of the non-piloted Bunsen flame, it is found that neglecting the stretch effects can cause the flame length and radius to be clearly under-predicted, which suggests the necessity to include stretch effects in LES. It is also found that the strain rate in the stretch effect model needs to be evaluated on the unburned side of the filtered flame to avoid the artificial modification of the flame wrinkling. Finally, the FPF-LES framework is applied to an experimentally studied spark-ignition (SI) engine with the emphasis on the prediction of cycle-to-cycle variations (CCVs), which are known to limit engine performance. To capture the degree of CCVs observed in the experiments, a laminar-to-turbulent flame transition model that describes the non-equilibrium sub-filter flame speed evolution during an early stage of flame kernel growth is developed. The multi-cycle LES with the proposed flame transition model under the FPF framework is found to reproduce experimentally-observed CCVs satisfactorily. The simulation results indicate the importance of modeling the laminar-to-turbulent flame transition and the effect of turbulence on the transition process, when predicting CCVs, under certain engine conditions.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence, mixing and the mutual interaction of turbulence and chemistry continue to remain perplexing and impregnable in the fron tiers of fluid mechanics. The past ten years have brought enormous advances in computers and computational techniques on the one hand and in measurements and data processing on the other. The impact of such capabilities has led to a revolution both in the understanding of the structure of turbulence as well as in the predictive methods for application in technology. The early ideas on turbulence being an array of complicated phenomena and having some form of reasonably strong coherent struc ture have become well substantiated in recent experimental work. We are still at the very beginning of understanding all of the aspects of such coherence and of the possibilities of incorporating such structure into the analytical models for even those cases where the thin shear layer approximation may be valid. Nevertheless a distinguished body of "eddy chasers" has come into existence. The structure of mixing layers which has been studied for some years in terms of correlations and spectral analysis is also getting better understood. Both probability concepts such as intermittency and conditional sampling as well as the concept of large scale structure and the associated strain seem to indicate possibilities of distinguishing and synthesizing 'engulfment' and molecular mixing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent lean premixed combustion now plays a predominant role in reducing emission of pollutants such as NOx. For turbulent premixed flames located in the thin-reaction-zones regime, small-scale eddies could penetrate into the preheat zone of the flames and enhance the mixing process. In this study, the effects of small-scale turbulence on emission (NOx and CO) formation in premixed flame fronts are investigated through the incorporation of turbulence induced diffusion in the preheat zone of one-dimensional premixed flames. One-dimensional methane/air premixed flames are simulated with the 53-species GRI-Mech 3.0 mechanism at both atmospheric and engine conditions with different turbulence intensities. It is found that the NO generated in flame fronts deceases with increasing intensity of small-scale turbulence and the effect is more profound at high pressures. At high pressures, the turbulence induced diffusion in the preheat zone can reduce the NOx formation in flame fronts by more than 40%. On the other hand, the CO mass fraction in flame fronts increases with increasing intensity of small-scale turbulence. In the cases considered, the CO mass fraction in the flame fronts can increase by more than 55%. In addition, a flamelet-based approach that accounts for the flame thickening effects has been formulated to simulate NOx and CO formation in turbulent lean premixed combustion. In this approach, the species NO and CO are transported and solved in a simulation with chemical source terms being pre-calculated from 1-D premixed flames with detailed chemical kinetics and turbulence induced diffusion. The NO source term can be quantified by its formation in flame fronts and its formation rate in post-flame region. The CO source term can be calculated through its mass fraction at flame fronts, its mass fraction in the post-flame region and an oxidation time scale. The effect of heat loss on NO formation has been studied by investigate the relation between post-flame NO formation rate and flame temperature. Meanwhile, the effect of turbulent-chemistry interaction on NO were studied. The flamelet-based emission model has been implemented into Fluent and 3-Dimensional simulations were conducted in a combustion rig.
