The Eulerian stochastic fields (ESF) method, which is based on the transport equation of the joint subgrid scalar probability density function, is applied to Large Eddy Simulation of a turbulent dilute spray flame. The approach is coupled with a tabulated chemistry approach to represent the subgrid turbulence–chemistry interaction. Following a two-way coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian procedure, the spray is treated as a multitude of computational parcels described in a Lagrangian manner, each representing a heap of real spray droplets. The present contribution has two objectives: First, the predictive capabilities of the modeling framework are evaluated by comparing simulation results using 8, 16, and 32 stochastic fields with available experimental data. At the same time, the results are compared to previous studies, where the artificially thickened flame (ATF) model was applied to the investigated configuration. The results suggest that the ESF method can reproduce the experimental measurements reasonably well. Comparisons with the ATF approach indicate that the ESF results better describe the flame entrainment into the cold spray core of the flame. Secondly, the dynamics of the subgrid scalar contributions are investigated and the reconstructed probability density distributions are compared to common presumed shapes qualitatively and quantitatively in the context of spray combustion. It is demonstrated that the ESF method can be a valuable tool to evaluate approaches relying on a pre-integration of the thermochemical lookup-table.

Abstract This paper demonstrates that a large Eddy simulation (LES) combustion model based on tabulated chemistry and Eulerian stochastic fields can successfully describe the flame dynamics of a premixed turbulent swirl flame. The combustion chemistry is tabulated from one-dimensional burner-stabilized flamelet computations in dependence on progress variable and enthalpy. The progress variable allows to efficiently include a detailed reaction scheme, while the dependence on enthalpy describes the effect of heat losses on the reaction rate. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is modeled by eight Eulerian stochastic fields. An LES of a premixed swirl burner with a broadband velocity excitation is performed to investigate the flame dynamics, i.e., the response of heat release rate to upstream velocity perturbations. In particular, the flame impulse response and the flame transfer function (FTF) are identified from LES time series data. Simulation results for a range of power ratings are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Accurate characterization of swirled flames is a key point in the development of more efficient and safer aeronautical engines. The task is even more challenging for spray injection systems. On the one side, spray interacts with both turbulence and flame, eventually affecting the flame dynamics. On the other side, spray flame structure is highly complex due to equivalence ratio inhomogeneities caused by the evaporation process. Introducing detailed chemistry in numerical simulations, necessary for the prediction of flame stabilization, ignition and pollutant concentration, is then essential but extremely expensive in terms of CPU time. In this context, tabulated chemistry methods, expressly developed to account for detailed chemistry at a reduced computational cost in Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent gaseous flames, are attractive. The objective of this work is to propose a first computation of a swirled spray flame stabilized in an actual turbojet injection system using tabulated chemistry. A Large Eddy Simulation of an experimental benchmark, representative of an industrial swirl two-phase air/kerosene injection system, is performed using a standard tabulated chemistry method. The numerical results are compared to the experimental database in terms of mean and fluctuating axial velocity. The reactive two-phase flow is deeper investigated focusing on the flame structure and dynamics.

The single-column mode (SCM) of the ICON (ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic) modeling framework is presented. The primary purpose of the ICON SCM is to use it as a tool for research, model evaluation and development. Thanks to the simplified geometry of the ICON SCM, various aspects of the ICON model, in particular the model physics, can be studied in a well-controlled environment. Additionally, the ICON SCM has a reduced computational cost and a low data storage demand. The ICON SCM can be utilized for idealized cases—several well-established cases are already included—or for semi-realistic cases based on analyses or model forecasts. As the case setup is defined by a single NetCDF file, new cases can be prepared easily by the modification of this file. We demonstrate the usage of the ICON SCM for different idealized cases such as shallow convection, stratocumulus clouds, and radiative transfer. Additionally, the ICON SCM is tested for a semi-realistic case together with an equivalent three-dimensional setup and the large eddy simulation mode of ICON. Such consistent comparisons across the hierarchy of ICON configurations are very helpful for model development. The ICON SCM will be implemented into the operational ICON model and will serve as an additional tool for advancing the development of the ICON model.

Thermal convective flows are common phenomena in real urban canyons and strongly affect the mechanisms of pollutant removal from the canyon. The present contribution aims at investigating the complex interaction between inertial and thermal forces within the canyon, including the impacts on turbulent features and pollutant removal mechanisms. Large-eddy simulations reproduce infinitely long square canyons having isothermal and differently heated facades. A scalar source on the street mimics the pollutant released by traffic. The presence of heated facades triggers convective flows which generate an interaction region around the canyon-ambient interface, characterised by highly energetic turbulent fluxes and an increase of momentum and mass exchange. The presence of this region of high mixing facilitates the pollutant removal across the interface and decreases the urban canopy drag. The heating-up of upwind facade determines favourable convection that strengthens the primary internal vortex and decreases the pollutant concentration of the whole canyon by 49% compare to the isothermal case. The heating-up of the downwind facade produces adverse convection counteracting the wind-induced motion. Consequently, the primary vortex is less energetic and confined in the upper-canyon area, while a region of almost zero velocity and high pollution concentration (40% more than the isothermal case) appears at the pedestrian level. Finally, numerical analyses allow a definition of a local Richardson number based on in-canyon quantities only and a new formulation is proposed to characterise the thermo-dynamics regimes.

Renormalization Group Approach

We have studied here the critical behaviors in a simple model from the point of view of the renormalization group at finite temperature utilizing the Stochastic field theoretic approach towards a finite temperature field theory. To this end, thermofield dynamics has been formulated in terms of Stochastic fields in the external and internal space and the thermal average of the two-point correlation function of the internal field functions is related with the order parameter. The thermodynamical functions and the critical phenomena are then studied constructing the generating functionals involving Stochastic fields.
