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.

Book excerpt: A pulsed flame flow reactor has been developed for the study of one-dimensional, freely propagating, premixed turbulent flames over a broad range of turbulence Reynolds and Damkohler numbers. Laser Doppler velocimetry is used to characterize the turbulent flow field ahead of the flame in terms of its intensity, length scale and energy spectrum. Two-dimensional imaging is used to characterize the turbulent flame structure. Preliminary results indicate that the method of fractal analysis may be useful for quantifying turbulent flame structure in order to evaluate the effect of turbulence on flame propagation through changes in the flame structure. Keywords: Premixed turbulent combustion; Catalytic combustion; Catalytic ignition.

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.

Book excerpt: The results of an experimental study of turbulence-flame interactions and their effect on turbulent flame propagation are reported. Experiments are conducted in a new turbulent flow system which is capable of producing relative turbulence intensities as high as 100 percent. Using a freely propagating, one-dimensional flame configuration, measurements are made using LDV of the mean velocity, turbulence intensity, integral time scale, energy spectrum, Reynolds stress, and integral length scale, at a fixed location both before and after flame arrival. A complete set os such measurements has been made at one operating condition which characterize both the magnitude of flame generated turbulence and its anisotropic nature. The freely propagating, one dimensional flame configuration has also been used to study the effect of turbulence on turbulent flame structure. Two dimensional Mie scattering is used to obtain a two-dimensional slice of the turbulent flame surface. Such measurements have been made at 15 different conditions over very broad range of turbulence Reynolds and Damkohler numbers and have been analyzed to determine the fractal nature of the turbulent flame surface. The results of these measurements show that premixed turbulent flame surfaces are fractal throughout the reaction sheet regime. Keywords: Premixed turbulent combustion; Turbulent flame interactions; Turbulent flame propagation; Turbulent flame structure. (JHD).

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.
