  • The present study numerically investigate the detailed structure of the syngas diffusion flames. In order to realistically represent the turbulence-chemistry interaction, the transient flamelet model has been applied to simulate the combustion processes and $NO_X$ formation in the syngas turbulent nonpremixed flames. The single mixture fraction formulation is extended to account for the effects of the secondary inlet mixture. Computations are the wide range of syngas compositions and oxidizer dilutions. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the effects of syngas composition and oxidizer dilution on the structure of the syngas-air and syngas-oxygen turbulent nonpremixed flames.

  • This study has been mainly motivated to numerically model the supercritical mixing and combustion processes encountered in the liquid propellant rocket engines. In the present approach, turbulence is represented by the extended k-e model. To account for the real fluid effects, the propellant mixture properties are calculated by using generalized cubic equation of state. In order to realistically represent the turbulence-chemistry interaction in the turbulent nonpremixed flames, the flamelet approach based on the real fluid flamelet library has been adopted. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the effects of swirl number on flame structure of supercritical kerosene/LOx double swirl coaxial injector.

  • The change in the NO emission indices (EINO) in a two-dimensional plane has been investigated, which is due to the interaction between a vortex and methane-air flames established at different equivalence ratios, by solving the field equation. After solving the field equation, the spatial distribution of G-values is obtained. The NO emission index is calculated after applying the appropriate relation between the G-values and the NO production rate or the mass fraction of methane obtained from the library of freely propagating flames created from detailed simulations. When a vortex exists in a reacting flow field, in general EINO slightly increases, whereas ElNO is lowered in the vicinity of the vortex regardless of flow direction. A change in vortex size has negligible impact on EINO$\_$T/ but increasing the vortex strength slightly increases EINO$\_$T/ in the domain of this study.

  • By utilizing a semi-empirical soot model, the applicability of the laminar flamelet concept for simulating the formation and oxidation of soot in the laminar diffusion flame has been studied. The source terms for two transport equations of the soot formation and oxidation are calculated in the mixture fraction/scalar dissipation rate space for laminar flamelets and stored in a library. In this study, emphasis is given to the interaction associated with radiation and soot formation. The radiative heat loss is obtained by solving the radiative transfer equation using the unstructured grid finite volume method with the WSGGM. The calculated temperatures and soot volume fractions agree relatively well with the experimental data and the previous numerical results of Kaplan et al. using the detailed chemistry.

  • The multi-environment probability density function model has been applied to simulate a turbulent premixed flame in a swirl combustor. To realistically account for the unsteady flow motion inside the combustor, the formulations are derived for the large eddy simulation. The Flamelet generated manifolds is utilized to simplify a multi-dimensional composition space with reasonable accuracy. The sub grid scale mixing is modeled by the interaction by exchange with the mean mixing model. To validate the present approach, the simulation results are compared with experimental data in terms of mean velocity, temperature, and species mass fractions.

  • In this study, the multi-environment probability density function(MEPDF) approach has been applied to numerically investigate Delft-Jet-in-Hot-Coflow(DJHC) turbulent flames under Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion condition. Computations are made for two different jet velocities(Re = 4100 and 8800). In terms of mean axial velocity, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy, numerical results are in reasonably good agreements with experimental data even if there exist the noticeable deviations in downstream region. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the essential features of the non-visible flame structure and MILD combustion processes.

  • Recently, many researches have been performed to improve the performance of the combustion and emission in a D.I.Diesel engine. One of the main factors effect on the characteristics of combustion is the characteristic of air-fuel mixing. Thus, swirl flow has been used widely to improve the air-fuel mixing in a D.I.Diesel engine. Since this swirl flow has interaction with other factors, in this study, the characteristics of the combustion and the flame effected by the swirl flow generated by SCV was investigated. From this experiment, the interactions of the swirl flow and the injection timing made clear. In addition, the effects of swirl and injection timing on the diffusion flame were clarified.

  • The multi-environment PDF model coupled with flamelet generated manifolds(FGM) has been developed for a large eddy simulation of turbulent partially premixed lifted flame. This approach has a capability to realistically account for the transport and evolution of probability density function for mixture fraction and progress variable with the manageable computational burden. Using the tabulated chemistry, it is possible to track radical distributions which is important to predict autoignition process with the vitiated coflow environment. Numerical results indicate that the present yields the good agreement with experimental data in terms of mixture fraction, temperature, and species mass fractions.

  • The initiation and propagation of detonation waves in the air/fuel spray mixture has been numerically analyzed. An improved pressure-based method has been applied to predict the transient heterogeneous reacting flows at all speeds. Numerical results indicate that variations in the temperature gradient, the droplet size, and the fuel vapor concentration have the significant effects on the development of detonation wave in the multi-phase reactive media. The interaction mechanism between the flame-generated pressure wave and the combustion wave is discussed in detail.

  • This paper reviews the state-of-the-art thermoacoustic(TA) modeling techniques and research trend to predict major parameters determining combustion instabilities in lean premixed gas turbine combustors. Linear TA modeling results give us an information on eigenfrequencies and initial growth rate of the instabilities. For the prediction, linear relation equation between acoustic waves and heat release oscillations should be derived in the determined system. Key information for this analysis is to determine the heat release fluctuations in the combustor, which is typically obtained by using n-${\tau}$ function from flame transfer function measurements and/or predictions. Great advancement in the linear TA modeling has been made over a couple of decades, and some successful prediction results have been reported in actual gas turbine combustors. However nonlinear TA model developments which are required to analyze nonlinear system behaviors such as limit cycle saturation and transition phenomena are still limited in a very simple system. In order to fully understand combustion instabilities in a complicated real system, nonlinear flame dynamics and acoustic wave interaction with nonlinear system boundary conditions should be explained from the nonlinear TA model developments.
