Mixing and Combustion in High Speed Air Flows.
Abstract
This report describes the development of a modular model for the prediction of the performance of sudden expansion burners as a function of the controllable parameters relevant to combustors design. The model is based upon a concept in which the recirculation zone, treated as a stirred reactor, is coupled to a parabolic boundary layer formulation for the flow outside the recirculation zone. Hydrocarbon oxidation kinetics and turbulent kinetic energy models are employed in the model development. In addition to the parabolic-flow and stirred reactor elements, a module representing the fuel injection process has been developed. Results of the application of the modular model to the analysis of cold-flow and reacting-flow dump combustor experimental data are described. (Author)
