NOx formation in turbulent flames is strongly coupled with temperature, superequilibrium concentration of O radical, and residence time. This implies that in order to accurately predict NO level, it is necessary to develop sophisticated models able to account for the complex turbulent combustion processes including turbulence/chemistry interaction and radiative heat transfer. The present study numerically investigates the turbulent nonpremixed hydrogen jet flames using the laminar flamelet model. Flamelet library is constructed by solving the modified Peters equations and the turbulent combustion model is extended to nonadiabatic flame by introducing the enthalpy defect. The effects of turbulent fluctuation are taken into account by the presumed joint PDFs for mixture fraction, scalar dissipation rate, and enthalpy defect. The predictive capability of the present model has been validated against the detailed experimental data. Effects of nonequilibrium chemistry and radiative heat loss on the thermal NO formation are discussed in detail.

On the notion that the Reynolds stresses are transported with different time scale depending on the transport direction, the third order velocity correlations are represented by a new turbulent gradient transport model with tonsorial Lagrangian time scale. In order to verify the proposed model, DNS data are first obtained in a turbulent channel flow at Re = 180 and tonsorial Lagrangian time scales are computed. The present model predictions are compared with DNS data and those predicted by the third-order turbulent transport model of Hanjalic and Launder that uses a scalar time scale. The result demonstrates that the Reynolds stresses are indeed transported with different time scale depending on the transport direction.

The coherent flamelet model(CFM) is applied to symmetric counterflow turbulent premixed flames. The flame source term is set proportional to the turbulence intensity to reproduce the experimental correlation of Abdel-Gayed et al. for the turbulent burning velocity. Flame quenching by the turbulent rate of strain is modeled by an additional multiplication factor to the flame source term. A modified form of CFM is employed to consider coexistence of burned and unburned premixture with ambient air. The predicted flame position and turbulent flow field coincide well with the experimental data of Kostiuk et al., although there is some discrepancy in the radial rms velocity component and integral length scale near the symmetric plane.

There are many under going researchs for the natural convection and fluid flow in rectangular enclosure. In this paper, the optimal model that is the most frequently used for the analysis of a turbulent natural convection in rectangular enclosure is suggested by comparing with the result of Cheesewright's experiment. As We can see the distribution of the velocity, temperature, and turbulent kinitic energy, ST model tends to exaggerate the result of the experiment. The LS model generates better experimental result than the ST and DA's. Therefore, it is resonable to adopt the LS model that contains explicit physical meanings of each term in eouation of turbulent kinitic energy.

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of the turbulent premixed flame propagation in a constant volume combustion chamber is performed using the KIVA-3V code (Amsden et. al. 1997) by the flame surface density (FSD) model. A simple near-wall boundary condition is eaployed to describe the interaction between turbulent premixed flame and the wall. A mean stretch factor is introduced to include the stretch and curvature effects of turbulence. The results from the FSD model are compared with the experimental results of schlieren photos and pressure measurements. It is found that the burned mass rate and flame propagation by the FSD model are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The FSD combustion model proved to be effective for description of turbulent premixed flames.

A numerical analysis of turbulent gas-particle two-phase flow is performed in conjunction with the experiments of Fackrell ＆ Robins and Raupach & Legg that considered ground-level source and/or elevated source flat plate flow. K-$\omega$ turbulence model is used in order to analyze fully turbulent flow field and the concentration equation with settling velocity is adopted for the concentration field. The model of Einstein and Chien is applied that couples the velocity field and the concentration field. Turbulent eddy viscosity is re-evaluated in this model. The present numerical results have good agreement between the simulation and the experimental data for the mean flow velocities and particle concentrations. While the previous study shows about 27% error in the vicinity of the source of particle concentration, the .present study allows about 14% error. A new turbulent gas-particle flow model developed by this study is able to cut down error by 13% at a near source.

Characteristics of turbulent lifted flames in coflow jets with the varying initial temperature have recently been investigated about only propane case diluted by nitrogen. The investigation has firstly improved a premixed flame model and a large scale mixing model among competing theories on the stabilization mechanism of turbulent flame to be suitable for a high temperature condition. In this research, about methane with good availability to apply for a practical combustor as clean fuel, its characteristics of turbulent nonpremixed flame have been studied experimentally. The results have shown an effectiveness of the premixed flame model and the large scale mixing model considered initial temperature variation. Additionally, considering the axial distance where the mean fuel concentration falls below the stoichiometric level along the center line of the jet according to diluting nitrogen, the premixed flame model have more accurately been improved.

A comparative study on the treatment of the turbulent heat flux with the elliptic mlending second moment closure for a natural convection is performed. Four cases of different treating the turbulent heat flux are considered. Those are the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis (GGDH) the algebraic flux model (AFM) and the differential heat flux model (DFM). These models are implemented in the computer code specially designed for evaluation of turbulent models. Calculations are performed for a turbulent natural convection in the 1:5 rectangular cavity and the calculated results are compared with the experimental data. The results show that three models produce nearly the same accuracy of solutions.

In this study, three turbulent flame propagation models are compared using experimentally measured data of a 4 valves/cylinder spark-ignition engine. First two conventional models are B.K model and GESIM combustion model. The burning rates calculated from the two models are compared with the burning rates calculated from measured pressure data using the one-zone heat release analysis. GESIM combustion model predicts burning rates closer to the data acquired from the experiment in wide operating ranges than B-K model does. The third model is refined based on GESIM combustion model by including the effect of flame stretch, turbulent length scale band pass filter and a variable that considers flame size and the area of flame contacting the cylinder wall surface. The refined combustion model predicts burning rates closer to experimental results than GESIM combustion model does. Also, the refined combustion model predicts flame radius close to the experimental result measured by using optical fiber technique.
