PDF Modelling of Turbulent Combustion
Abstract
Important advances are being made in our understanding of turbulent combustion through the comparison between PDF model calculations and detailed experimental data. Previous calculations for the Sandia piloted jet flames have been extended in order to study the sensitivity to the pilot flame temperature and to radiative heat loss. Research is in progress on a new methodology ISAT-DR (in situ adaptive tabulation with dimension reduction) to incorporate detailed chemistry in turbulent combustion computations in an efficient manner. Both aspects of the work performed are advancing and demonstrating the capabilities of turbulent combustion modeling that can be applied to practical combustion devices.
