Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major elements of an approach to the development of a more powerful spray combustion model is discussed. A model is sought that treats, in a numerically-efficient manner, unsteady, multidimensional, turbulent reacting flows with polydisperse, multicomponent sprays and properly accounts for transient droplet heating and vaporization, liquid-phase mass diffusion, and droplet drag and trajectory. Major advances are reviewed and important issues remaining for resolution are discussed. Keywords: Fuels, Droplets, Vaporization, Drag, Sprays, Combustion, Flame propagation.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern automotive internal combustion engines the atomization and spraying processes of liquid fuel is an important mechanism by which the fuel is mixed effectively with the combustion chamber gas. The homogeneity of the fuel-air mixture charge and the timing to achieve it affect the characteristics of the subsequent combustion in a number of ways. Experimentalists have found that the atomization process is influenced by the fuel delivery system, specifically, the operating conditions of fuel injection and the internal geometry of the injector nozzles. Therefore, modeling researchers must develop spray models that properly take into account these effects from the injectors. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is developed to simulate internal injector nozzle flows and the external-nozzle atomization and sprays in an integrated way. In light of the continuous nature of the flow within and near the nozzle, an Eulerian flow solver is developed and applied in these regions. This flow solver models compressible two-phase flows with general conservation laws of fluid dynamics. Differences in the thermodynamic states of liquid and gas phases are properly modeled with an Equation of State (EOS). The chosen numerical methods are sufficiently robust to handle pressure and density gradients up to 1000:1 and are able to cover the typical operating ranges of modern diesel and gasoline injection systems. A phase equilibrium model is developed based on the fundamental thermodynamic laws. It is implemented into the Eulerian flow solver to predict phase change in the flows - in particular, the cavitation of liquid fuel within the fuel injector nozzle and how it influences the external flows. A number of test problems are simulated to verify the numerical methods and validate the proposed models. These include two-phase shock tube problems, a shock-interface interaction problem, a converging-diverging nozzle flow problem, and most importantly, high-pressure fuel injection problems. The Eulerian flow solver requires the CFD mesh size to be smaller than the characteristic phase interface length scale in order to apply the continuum fluid assumption. This requirement is challenged beyond a certain distance from the nozzle where the spray is dispersed. Here the mesh size affordable by engineering calculation is too coarse for the Eulerian solver to be applied. At this stage, the Eulerian liquid phase can be transitioned into Lagrangian discrete particles to model the dispersed spray droplets. The modeling of the sub-grid droplet size at this transition stage is based on local balances between turbulent kinetic energy and surface energy. The Eulerian flow solver coupled with the phase equilibrium model and the Eulerian-Lagrangian transition model provides an engineering CFD approach to study the effects of injector nozzle flows on the atomization and sprays.

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.
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.
