This paper deals with the particle-mesh probability density function (PDF) method. It shows how an existing but less precise pressure algorithm for the stand-alone method can be improved. The present algorithm is able to handle the general case of an unsteady three-dimensional turbulent reacting flow. The transport equation of the joint PDF of velocity and composition is solved with a particle method. Open boundary conditions are realized and for statistical reasons a simple but effective particle splitting procedure is applied. Based on a simple configuration, the properties of the presented improved pressure algorithm are analysed. It is shown which numerical condition must be taken care of so that the algorithm is able to correct the particle positions such that the normalization condition is fulfilled as accurately as specified. To verify the algorithm the combustion of a methane–air mixture enclosed in an open simulation volume is calculated. It is shown that the simple particle splitting algorithm works very effectively in the studied case. The behaviour of the improved pressure algorithm is examined by different calculations. To analyse the convergence of the algorithm, the particle number per cell and the grid spacing are varied. To demonstrate the accuracy, a statistically stationary inflow/outflow configuration is used and the numerical solution is compared to an analytical one. For a less symmetric test case, the previous unsteady combustion problem is simulated, including an additional mean velocity in one direction. The presented improved pressure algorithm provides the opportunity to calculate unsteady three-dimensional turbulent reacting flows with a stand-alone method, and offers an alternative to the complex hybrid finite-volume/particle PDF method. 相似文献

A block-structured mesh large-eddy simulation (LES)/probability density function (PDF) simulator is developed within the OpenFOAM framework for computational modelling of complex turbulent reacting flows. The LES/PDF solver is a hybrid solution methodology consisting of (i) a finite-volume (FV) method for solving the filtered mass and momentum equations (LES solver), and (ii) a Lagrangian particle-based Monte Carlo algorithm (PDF solver) for solving the modelled transport equation of the filtered joint PDF of compositions. Both the LES and the PDF methods are developed and combined to form a hybrid LES/PDF simulator entirely within the OpenFOAM framework. The in situ adaptive tabulation method [S.B. Pope, Computationally efficient implementation of combustion chemistry using in situ adaptive tabulation, Combust. Theory Model. 1 (1997), pp. 41–63; L. Lu, S.R. Lantz, Z. Ren, and B.S. Pope, Computationally efficient implementation of combustion chemistry in parallel PDF calculations, J. Comput. Phys. 228 (2009), pp. 5490–5525] is incorporated into the new LES/PDF solver for efficient computations of combustion chemistry with detailed reaction kinetics. The method is designed to utilise a block-structured mesh and can readily be extended to unstructured grids. The three-stage velocity interpolation method of Zhang and Haworth [A general mass consistency algorithm for hybrid particle/finite-volume PDF methods, J. Comput. Phys. 194 (2004), pp. 156–193] is adapted to interpolate the LES velocity field onto particle locations accurately and to enforce the consistency between LES and PDF fields at the numerical solution level. The hybrid algorithm is fully parallelised using the conventional domain decomposition approach. A detailed examination of the effects of each stage and the overall performance of the velocity interpolation algorithm is performed. Accurate coupling of the LES and PDF solvers is demonstrated using the one-way coupling methodology. Then the fully two-way coupled LES/PDF solver is successfully applied to simulate the Sandia Flame-D, and a turbulent non-swirling premixed flame and a turbulent swirling stratified flame from the Cambridge turbulent stratified flame series [M.S. Sweeney, S. Hochgreb, M.J. Dunn, and R.S. Barlow, The structure of turbulent stratified and premixed methane/air flames I: Non-swirling flows, Combust. Flame 159 (2012), pp. 2896–2911; M.S. Sweeney, S. Hochgreb, M.J. Dunn, and R.S. Barlow, The structure of turbulent stratified and premixed methane/air flames II: Swirling flows, Combust. Flame 159 (2012), pp. 2912–2929]. It is found that the LES/PDF method is very robust and the results are in good agreement with the experimental data for both flames. 相似文献

Transported probability density function (PDF) methods have been applied widely and effectively for modelling turbulent reacting flows. In most applications of PDF methods to date, Lagrangian particle Monte Carlo algorithms have been used to solve a modelled PDF transport equation. However, Lagrangian particle PDF methods are computationally intensive and are not readily integrated into conventional Eulerian computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. Eulerian field PDF methods have been proposed as an alternative. Here a systematic comparison is performed among three methods for solving the same underlying modelled composition PDF transport equation: a consistent hybrid Lagrangian particle/Eulerian mesh (LPEM) method, a stochastic Eulerian field (SEF) method and a deterministic Eulerian field method with a direct-quadrature-method-of-moments closure (a multi-environment PDF-MEPDF method). The comparisons have been made in simulations of a series of three non-premixed, piloted methane–air turbulent jet flames that exhibit progressively increasing levels of local extinction and turbulence-chemistry interactions: Sandia/TUD flames D, E and F. The three PDF methods have been implemented using the same underlying CFD solver, and results obtained using the three methods have been compared using (to the extent possible) equivalent physical models and numerical parameters. Reasonably converged mean and rms scalar profiles are obtained using 40 particles per cell for the LPEM method or 40 Eulerian fields for the SEF method. Results from these stochastic methods are compared with results obtained using two- and three-environment MEPDF methods. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each method in terms of accuracy and computational requirements are explored and identified. In general, the results obtained from the two stochastic methods (LPEM and SEF) are very similar, and are in closer agreement with experimental measurements than those obtained using the MEPDF method, while MEPDF is the most computationally efficient of the three methods. These and other findings are discussed in detail. 相似文献

Pressure-based flow solvers couple continuity and linearized truncated momentum equations to derive a Poisson type pressure correction equation and use the well known SIMPLE algorithm. Momentum equations and the pressure correction equation are typically solved sequentially. In many cases this method results in slow and often difficult convergence. The current paper proposes a novel computational algorithm, solving for pressure and velocity simultaneously within a pressure-correction coupled solution approach using finite volume method on structured and unstructured meshes. The method can be applied to both incompressible and subsonic compressible flows. For subsonic compressible flows, the energy equation is also coupled with flow field and the density of fluid is obtained by equation of state. The procedure eliminates the pressure correction step, the most expensive component of the SIMPLE-like algorithms. The proposed coupled continuity-momentum-energy equation method can be used to simulate steady state or transient flow problems. The method has been tested on several CFD benchmark cases with excellent results showing dramatically improved numerical convergence and significant reduction in computational time. 相似文献

The stationary probability density function (PDF) solution of the stochastic response of nonlinear oscillators is investigated in this paper. The external excitation is assumed to be a combination of Gaussian and Poisson white noises. The PDF solution is governed by the generalized Kolmogorov equation which is solved by the exponential-polynomial closure (EPC) method. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the EPC method, different nonlinear oscillators are considered in numerical analysis. Nonlinearity exists either in displacement or in velocity for these nonlinear oscillators. The impulse arrival rate, mono-modal PDF and bi-modal PDF are also considered in this study. Compared to the PDF given by Monte Carlo simulation, the EPC method presents good agreement with the simulated result, which can also be observed in the tail region of the PDF solution. 相似文献

The probabilistic solution of stochastic oscillators with even nonlinearity under poisson excitation
The probabilistic solutions of nonlinear stochastic oscillators with even nonlinearity driven by Poisson white noise are investigated
in this paper. The stationary probability density function (PDF) of the oscillator responses governed by the reduced Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov
equation is obtained with exponentialpolynomial closure (EPC) method. Different types of nonlinear oscillators are considered.
Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to examine the effectiveness and accuracy of the EPC method in this case. It is found
that the PDF solutions obtained with EPC agree well with those obtained with Monte Carlo simulation, especially in the tail
regions of the PDFs of oscillator responses. Numerical analysis shows that the mean of displacement is nonzero and the PDF
of displacement is nonsymmetric about its mean when there is even nonlinearity in displacement in the oscillator. Numerical
analysis further shows that the mean of velocity always equals zero and the PDF of velocity is symmetrically distributed about
its mean. 相似文献

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool for performing turbulent combustion simulations that require finite-rate chemistry is developed and tested by modelling a series of bluff-body stabilized flames that exhibit different levels of finite-rate chemistry effects ranging from near equilibrium to near global extinction. The new modelling tool is based on the multi-environment probability density function (MEPDF) methodology and combines the following: the direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM); the interaction-by-exchange-with-the-mean (IEM) mixing model; and realistic combustion chemistry. Using DQMOM, the MEPDF model can be derived from the transport PDF equation by depicting the joint composition PDF as a weighted summation of a finite number of multi-dimensional Dirac delta functions in the composition space. The MEPDF method with multiple reactive scalars retains the unique property of the joint PDF method of treating chemical reactions exactly. However, unlike the joint PDF methods that typically must resort to particle-based Monte-Carlo solution schemes, the MEPDF equations (i.e. the transport equations of the weighted delta-peaks) can be solved by traditional Eulerian grid-based techniques. In the current study, a pseudo time-splitting scheme is adopted to solve the MEPDF equations; the reaction source terms are computed with a highly efficient and accurate in-situ adaptive tabulation (ISAT) algorithm. A 19-species reduced mechanism based on quasi-steady state assumptions is used in the simulations of the bluff-body flames. The modelling results are compared with the experimental data, including mixing, temperature, major species and important minor species such as CO and NO. Compared with simulations using a Monte-Carlo joint PDF method, the new approach shows comparable accuracy. 相似文献

The influence of time-averaging on bias is investigated in the finite-volume/particle hybrid algorithm for the joint PDF equation for statistically-stationary turbulent reactive flows. It is found that the time-averaging of the mean fluctuating velocity (TAu) leads to the same variances of the fluctuating velocity before and after the velocity correction, whereas without TAu the estimates are different, and an additional numerical dissipation rate is introduced for the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). When 100 particles per cell are used without TAu, a large bias error is found to be involved in the unconditional statistics of the statistically-stationary solutions of two tested turbulent flames, the Cabra H2/N2 lifted flame and the Sandia piloted flame E. The use of TAu reduces this bias dramatically for the same number of particles per cell. The conditional statistics in these flames, however, are hardly affected by TAu. To a large extent, the effect of the bias error on the unconditional statistics is similar to the effect of increasing the model constant C ω 1 in the stochastic turbulence frequency model. 相似文献

The joint-scalar probability density function (PDF) approach provides a comprehensive framework for large eddy simulation (LES) based combustion modeling. However, currently available stochastic approaches for solving the high-dimensional PDF transport equation can be error prone and numerically unstable in highly compressible shock-containing flows. In this work, a novel Eulerian approach called the direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM) is developed for evolving the PDF-based supersonic combustion model. The DQMOM technique uses a set of scalar transport equations with specific source terms to recover the PDF. The new technique is coupled to a compressible LES solver through the energy equation. The DQMOM approach is then used to simulate two practical flow configurations: a supersonic reacting jet and a cavity-stabilized supersonic combustor. Comparisons with experimental data demonstrate the predictive accuracy of the method. 相似文献

湍流扩散燃烧的数值研究-PDF方法和火焰面模型的性能比较 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
采用标量概率密度函数(PDF)方法、稳态和非稳态火焰面模型三种方法对一个值班湍流CH_4/O_2/N_2射流扩散火焰(Sandia Flame D)进行数值计算,以比较不同燃烧模型的性能。PDF方法通过计算反应标量的PDF输运方程来得到标量分布,而火焰面模型只求解单标量混合物分数的PDF方程,组分和温度分布通过火焰面方程的求解或者火焰面数据库的插值得到。计算结果和实验数据对比表明PDF方法计算结果最好但计算量相当大,稳态火焰面模型则反之。综合而言,非稳态火焰面模型的预测结果相对稳态模型有了非常大的改进,而计算量仍然容易接受,非常适合工程应用。 相似文献

Monte Carlo simulations of joint probability density function (PDF) approaches have been developed in the past largely with Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) applications. Current interests are in the extension of PDF approaches to large eddy simulation (LES). As LES resolves accurately the large scales of turbulence in time, the Monte Carlo simulation and the flow field need to be tightly coupled. A tight coupling can be achieved if the consistency between the scalar field solution obtained via finite-volume (FV) methods and that from the stochastic solution of the PDF is ensured. For nonpremixed turbulent flames with two distinct streams, the local reactive mixture is described by the mixture fraction. A Eulerian Monte Carlo method is developed to achieve a second-order accuracy in the instantaneous filtered mixture fraction that is consistent with the corresponding FV. The performances of the proposed scheme are extensively evaluated using a one-dimensional model. Then, the scheme is applied to two cases with LES. The first one is a non-reacting mixing flow of two different fluids. The second case is the Sandia piloted turbulent flame D with a steady state flamelet model. Both results confirm the consistency of the proposed method to the level of filtered mixture fraction. 相似文献
