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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying 3-D computer codes to isothermal and combusting two-phase flows is a multi-faceted processes. In the combustion case, this can involve the refinement of models for fuel droplet trajectories, droplet evaporation and radiation heat transfer. Turbulence modelling is also of basic importance. The realisation that many combustion flows do not satisfy the conditions of isotropy demanded by conventional models has stimulated more fundamental approaches to the Reynolds stress description. Since the common objective of such applications is to provide a basis for design, there is need for codes which are versatile, easy to operate, and interactive. This study reports some current progress in these areas. Aspects of the present code are presented including the coupling of flow and droplet motions and the interactive setting up procedure to define an arbitrary geometry. Calculated and measured velocity fields are shown for the isothermal flow in a coaxial dump combustor and results are presented for the combustion case using a baffle stabiliser.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion remains a critical technology for electricity generation, heating, transportation and other industrial processes. Turbulent combustion lies at the heart of many of these processes. The accurate, robust and efficient computational modeling of turbulent combustion is necessary to design clean, efficient and safe combustion devices and processes. For practical combustion problems the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the governing equations is computationally intractable. The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulation (RANS) and large eddy simulation (LES) techniques have emerged as powerful tools to simulate turbulent reacting flows. RANS and LES methodologies require closure of the unclosed terms arising from the averaging or filtering the governing equations. Even with adequate closure, RANS and LES remain computationally infeasible for simulating many combustion processes in engineering applications, further simplifications regarding flame thickness, flow and chemical reaction time scales are required. The high Damk\"{o}hler (Da) number flames can be modeled using a reduced chemistry model. A flamelet derived reduced chemistry model like Flamelet Generated Manifolds (FGM) accounts for finite rate chemistry while it greatly simplifies the simulation of turbulent combustion as it decouples the turbulent transport and flame structure. The interaction between the turbulence and the flame front in non-premixed combustion is described by the probability density function (PDF) of the composition variables. In this work, a framework for turbulent combustion modeling is presented for both RANS and, LES with FGM reduced chemistry model. This framework consists of implementation of presumed and transported PDF models and is developed within the open source CFD software OpenFOAM. The simulation of the well-known piloted methane-air jet flames (Sandia flames) is conducted in RANS context with both presumed and transported PDF models. An "A priori" analysis is conducted based on the RANS/TPDF simulation data. The analysis quantifies the extent of errors in PPDF models, specifically errors in choice of presumed PDF, statistical independence and the number moments and cross moments considered. A new PPDF model based on the Gaussian copula approach for correlation of the composition variables is developed and analyzed. The implementation of RANS/TPDF solver incorporates robust algorithms for particle tracking, position and number control. The LES/TFDF simulation of Sandia flame D is conducted to showcase the capability of the developed framework.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent burning of gaseous fuels is widely used for energy conversion in stationary power generation, e.g., gas turbines, land transportation, piston engines, and aviation, and aero-engine afterburners. Nevertheless, our fundamental understanding of turbulent combustion is still limited, because it is a highly non-linear and multiscale process that involves various local phenomena and thousands (e.g., for gasoline-air mixtures) of chemical reactions between hundreds of species, including several reactions that control emissions from flames. Therefore, there is a strong need for elaborating high fidelity, advanced numerical models, and methods that will catch the governing physical mechanisms of flame-turbulence interaction and, consequently, will make turbulent combustion computations an efficient predictive tool for applied research and, in particular, for development of a new generation of ultra-clean and highly efficient internal combustion engines that will allow society to properly respond to current environmental and efficiency challenges. Accordingly, papers published in this Special Issue (i) contribute to our fundamental understanding of flame-turbulence interaction by analyzing results of unsteady multi-dimensional numerical simulations and (ii) develop and validate high-fidelity models and efficient numerical methods for computational fluid Dynamics research into turbulent combustion in laboratory burners and engines.
