Issues Surrounding the Development of Models for Use in Predicting Gas Turbine Combustion

Abstract

A general description is provided of current model development associated with Task DST 98/091 Modelling Airbreathing Combustion. This note describes current and future work towards the completion of a fully implemented software suite for turbulent combustor applications. Particular attention is paid to the issues surrounding applying the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) family of models, which were developed in simple flows, to flow cases of practical interest. These issues include the integration of radiation heat transfer, conductive heat transfer, complex recirculating flow, and complex chemistry within the CMC model context.
