An implicit fully coupled numerical method for modeling of chemically reacting flows is presented. Favre averaged Navier-Stokes equations of multi-component gas mixture with nonequilibrium chemical reactions using Arrhenius chemistry are applied. A special method of splitting convective fluxes is introduced. This method allows for using spatially second-order approximation in the main flow region and of first-order approximation in regions with discontinuities. To consider the effects of high-speed compressibility on turbulence the author suggests a correction for the model, which is linearly dependent on Mach turbulent number. For the validation of the code the described numerical procedures are applied to a series of flow and heat and mass transfer problems. These include supersonic combustion of hydrogen in a vitiated air, chemically reacting flow through fluid rocket nozzle, afterburning of fluid and solid rocket plumes, fluid dynamics and convective heat transfer in convergent-divergent nozzle. Comparison of the simulation with available experimental data showed a good agreement for the above problems.

To unravel the flow and heat transfer mechanism of the cavity in supersonic combustion, this paper studied the interaction of cavities and shear-layers by experiments and numerical simulation. The experiments of Nero-particle Plane Laser Scatter (NPLS) and Plane Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) were conducted to study the cavity shear-layer. In the same supersonic condition the flow was studied by the method of Large Eddy Simulation (LES). And we discussed the cavity shear-layer influence to supersonic flow and combustion, analyzed the evolvement of injection shear-layer, probed into the heat transfer of supersonic combustion, and studied the transpiration cooling of cavities. The results show: in supersonic combustion, the initial flame spreads to the upstream through the cavity shear layer, the highest wall temperature occur at the rear edge of cavity, and transpiration cooling can effectively protect the wall materials.

The fire industry relies on fire engineers and scientists to develop materials and technologies used to either resist, detect, or suppress fire. While combustion processes are the drivers for what might be considered to be fire phenomena, it is heat transfer physics that mediate how fire spreads. Much of the knowledge of fire phenomena has been encapsulated and exercised in fire modeling software tools. Over the past 30 years, participants in the fire industry have begun to use fire modeling tools to aid in decision making associated with design and analysis. In the rest of this paper we will discuss what the drivers have been for the growth of fire modeling tools; the types of submodels incorporated into such tools; the role of model verification, validation, and uncertainty propagation in these tools; and possible futures for these types of tools to best meet the requirements of the user community. Throughout this discussion, we identify how heat transfer research has supported and aided the advancement of fire modeling.

In this investigation, a model has been developed to predict the performance of a Texaco controlled combustion stratified charge engine (TCCS). This model uses the k - ε turbulence model to determine characteristic velocities for heat transfer calculations, which has only one empirical constant, in contrast to Woschni's equation in which separate constants are used for each process in the four-stroke cycle to determine the velocity for use in Reynolds number calculation. The modified Keck and Blizard model is used for combustion calculation by considering the rapid compression effects on turbulence intensity. Comparison of the model predictions with available experimental data shows a good agreement. Moreover, the program has a high flexibility for parametric studies to calculate performance parameters such as thermal efficiency, pressure, specific fuel consumption, temperature, fluid flow into and out of the cylinder, friction losses, heat transfer, flow field in the cylinder and so on.

The effect of ultrasound oscillations (USO) on the heat transfer conditions between a specimen and environment is examined using a specially developed experimental facility. The influence of the USO amplitude on the combustion temperature and velocity as well as on the phase composition and crystal lattice parameters of the synthesized compounds is studied for the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in Ti–С(Si,B) systems. The heat transfer coefficient on the surface of a specimen during its oscillations with an ultrasound frequency is assessed. Possible mechanisms of the effect of USO on the SHS process are considered. It is demonstrated that a decrease in the SHS temperature is connected with cooling the specimen due to forced convection of a surrounding gas, while a change in a phase composition of the synthesized material and the crystallographic parameters of the phases occurs due to changes in the conditions of high-temperature heterogeneous interactions in the SHS wave.
