  • The flamelet concept has been widely applied to numerically simulate complex phenomena occurred in nonpremixed turbulent flames last two decades, and recently broadened successfully the applicable capabilities to various combustion problems from simple laboratory flames to gas turbine engine, diesel spray combustion and partially premixed flames. The paper is focused on brief review of recently noticeable work related to flamelet modeling, which includes Lagrangian flamelet approach, RIF concept as well as steady flamelet approach. The limitation of steady flamelet assumption, the effect of transient behavior of flamelets, and the effect of spray vaporization on PDF model have been discussed.

  • This paper investigates LES of turbulent combustion flow based on 2-scalar flamelet approach, where a G-equation and a conserved scalar equation simulate a propagation of premixed flame and a diffusion combustion process, respectively. The turbulent SGS modeling on these flamelet combustion approach is also researched. These LES models are applied to an industrial flows in a full scale gasturbine combustor with premixed and non-premixed flames. The numerical results predict the characteristics of experiment temperature profiles. Unsteady features of complex flames in combustor are also visualized.

  • In an IGCC plant, one of the most important issues on fuel flexibility in the lean premixed combustor is combustion instabilities. They are characterized by large amplitude pressure oscillations which are caused by unsteady heat release from the flames. The relationship between the unsteady heat release and flow oscillation can be qualitatively and quantitatively explained by flame transfer function. This paper introduces combustion instability modeling methods based on the flame transfer function approach.

  • The characteristics of unsteady combustion were experimentally investigated using confined premixed flames stabilized by a rearward-facing step. The unsteady combustion used in this experiment plays an important role in controlling self-excited combustion oscillations and it has usually desirable performance such as high load combustion and low pollutant emission. It is known that combustion oscillation is occurred if Rayleigh's criterion is satisfied. The pressure fluctuation and OH-emission fluctuation were measured using pressure transducer and OH optical fiber respectively and then cross-corelation and phase difference were calculated to apply Rayleigh's criterion.

  • The usefulness of unsteady combustion was experimentally investigated using confined premixed flames stabilized by a rearward-facing step. For this purpose, apparatus of forced pulsating mixture supply, which could be modulated its amplitude and frequency, was designed. The unsteady combustion used in this experiment plays an important role in controlling self-excited combustion oscillations and furthermore it exhibits desirable performance, from a practical point of view, such as high load combustion and reduction of pollutant emission like nitric oxide.

  • Stabilization mechanism of lifted flame in the near field of coflow jets has been investigated experimentally and numerically for methane fuel diluted with nitrogen. Lifted flames were observed only in the near field of coflow jets until blowout occurred in the normal gravity condition. To elucidate the stabilization mechanism for the stationary lifted flames in the near field of coflow jets for the diluted methane having the Schmidt number smaller than unity, the behaviors of the stationary lifted flame in microgravity and unsteady propagation phenomena were investigated numerically at various conditions of jet velocity. It has been founded that the buoyancy plays an important role for flame stabilization of lifted flame in normal gravity and the stabilization mechanism is due to the significant variation of the propagation speed of lifted flame edge compared to the local flow velocity at the edge.

  • The present study is focused on modeling the transient behavior of the local flame structure which is especially important for slow reaction processes, such as NOx formation in the radiating flame field. The recently developed unsteady flamelet model has been applied to analyze a steady, turbulent jet flame. Numerical results are compared with experimental data and numerical results of the conventional steady flamelet model. The numerical result reveals that the unsteady flamelet model correctly predicts the nonequilibrium effect upsteam and the subsequent decay of the superequilibrium radical concentrations the further downstream.

  • A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation is performed to investigate the flame structure of $CH_4/N_2-Air$ counterflow nonpremixed flame interacting with a single vortex. The detailed transport properties and a modified 16-step augmented reduced mechanism based on Miller and Bowman's detailed reaction mechanism are adopted in this calculation. To quantify the strain on flame induced by a vortex, a scalar dissipation rate (SDR) is introduced. Results show that the fuel and air-side vortex cause an unsteady extinction. In this case, the flame interacting with a vortex is extinguished at much larger SDR than steady flame. It is also found that air-side vortex extinguishes a flame more rapidly than fuel-side vortex. The unsteady effect induced by flame-vortex interaction does not lead to a transient OH overshoot of the maximum steady concentration observed in experiment, while $HO_2$ radical increases more than the maximum steady concentration with increasing SDR. In addition, it is seen that NO and $NO_2$ are not sensitive to the unsteady variation of SDR.
