Quantification of Combustion Regime Transitions to Distributed Modes
Abstract
The proposed work is aimed at providing new fundamental understanding that can lead to a generalization of the approach. While technologies based on low temperature distributed modes do provide overall low emissions, facilitate better control of turndown and improved fuel flexibility,the factors that control combustion mode transitions must be understood and quantified in order togeneralize such techniques. This is particularly the case for applications where weight and size become of paramount concern. The research outlined below addresses directly related key issues of fundamental importance to the understanding of different premixed combustion regimes in turbulent flows. The absence of a quantitative framework suitable for the evaluation of modeling approaches is also addressed along with the extension of simplified chemistry models to encompass low temperature combustion. The work is novel and exceptionally demanding.
