Detailed Kinetics

A hybrid finite-element-volume FEV method is extended to simulate turbulent non-premixed propane air preheated flame in a minichannel. We use a detailed kinetics scheme, i.e. GRI mechanism 3.0, and the flamelet model to perform the combustion modeling. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is taken into account in this flamelet modeling using presumed shape probability density functions PDFs. Considering an upwind-biased physics for the current reacting flow, we implement the physical influence upwinding scheme PIS to estimate the cell-face mixture fraction variance in this study. To close the turbulence closure, we employ the two-equation standard κ-ε turbulence model incorporated with suitable wall functions. Supposing an optically thin limit, it needs to take into account radiation effects of the most important radiating species in the current modeling. Despite facing with so many flame instabilities in such small size configuration, the current method performs suitably with proper convergence, and the encountered instabilities are damped out automatically. Comparing with the experimental measurements, the current extended method accurately predicts the flame structure in the minichannel configuration.

Jet Diffusion Flames

Beside appropriate turbulence and combustion modeling, the problem of an accurate prediction of turbulent diffusion flames usually requires accurate radiative heat transfer predictions as well. In this paper it is shown that the inclusion of radiation modeling into the overall numerical simulation is important if accurate temperature profiles are needed. Two different jet diffusion flame configurations are simulated in this work — a diluted hydrogen jet flame (80% H2 and 20% He by volume) [1–4], and a piloted methane jet diffusion flame (flame D) [5, 6]. The predictions are compared to experimental data. Radiation is modeled by a conservative discrete transfer radiation method (DTRM) [7, 8]. Turbulence is modeled by a classical k-ε and by a hybrid procedure, as proposed in [9]. Combustion modeling is based on the stationary laminar flamelet model (SLFM) [10], where the combustion/turbulence interaction is accomplished via the presumed β probability density function (β-PDF).
