Modelling Turbulent Premixed Combustion Using the Level Set Approach for Reynolds Averaged Models

A model for premixed turbulent combustion is investigated using a RANS-approach. The evolution of the flame front is described in terms of the G-equation. The numerical instabilities of the G-field are resolved using a reinitialisation procedure. For the G-points near the flame surface an algorithm proposed by Russo and Smereka [1] and modificated by Düsing [2] is presented. For all other points the standard Sussman algorithm is employed. Fluid properties are conditioned on the flame front position using a burnt-unburnt probability function across the flame front. Computations are performed using the code FASTEST-3D [3] which is a flow solver for a non-orthogonal, block-structured grid. The computational examples include two test cases, the first containing the propagation of two circular merging flames and the second one containing the simulation of the ORACLES-burner [4].     

Effect of Fe-doping on the structural,morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by solution combustion process

The effect of Fe-doping on the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by simple solution combustion process are reported. The powder XRD pattern indicates that the Fe-doped ZnO samples exhibit primary and secondary phases. The primary phase indicates the hexagonal wurtzite structure with the average crystalline size of around 25–50 nm and the secondary phase is associated with the face centered cubic structure of magnetite iron oxide. The elemental composition of pure and Fe-doped samples are evaluvated by EDX. The results of FE-SEM and HR-TEM cleary show that particles morphology have changed with respect to the incorporation of doping agent and particles are in aggregating nature. The vibrational properties of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles are investigated by Raman scattering technique and it exhibits that the influence of Fe-doping significantly modify the lattice vibrational characteristics in ZnO sites. The optical properties of the Fe-doped ZnO nanoparticles are carried out by UV–vis absorption and PL spectra. The results of PL spectra show the near-band edge related emission as well as strong blue emissions in the Fe-doped ZnO nanoparticles.     

燃烧系统的离散Boltzmann建模与模拟研究进展

燃烧系统的诸多模拟依托于流体建模, 离散Boltzmann方法(discrete Boltzmann method, DBM) 是近年来发展起来的一种新的流体介观建模方法. 本文简要评述DBM发展的两个方向——Navier-Stokes等偏微分方程的数值逼近解法和复杂系统的微介观动理学建模. 主要介绍在燃烧系统模拟方面DBM已有的工作、新近的思路、与传统流体建模的异同以及近期的研究成果. 本文重点传递的信息为: 作为复杂系统微介观动理学建模出现的DBM在模拟过程中同时给出“流动”及其相伴随的、关系最密切的那部分“热动”非平衡效应; 它为燃烧等复杂系统中各类非平衡行为的描述、非平衡信息的提取、非平衡程度的度量提供了一种简洁、有效的方法; 它所提供的热动非平衡测量量有两类: 一类是直接比较分布函数和平衡态分布函数的动理学矩关系得到的, 一类是来自于Chapman-Enskog多尺度分析给出的热传导和黏性项. 基于第二类DBM, 可以实现(燃烧等)一大类复杂流体系统的多尺度物理建模.     

Electron Temperatures and Electron Densities in Microwave Helium Discharges with Pressures Higher than 0.1 MPa

We adopted laser Thomson scattering for measuring the electron density and the electron temperature of microwave plasmas produced in helium at the pressures higher than the atmospheric pressure. The electron density decreased while we observed the increase in the electron temperature with the pressure. These are reasonable results by considering the decrease in the reduced electric field, the dominant loss of electrons via three‐body recombination with helium as the third body, and the production of electrons with medium energy via heavy particle collisions at the high gas pressure. The temporal variation of the electron temperature had the rise and the fall time constants of approximately 10 ns. The rapid heating and cooling of the electron temperature are due to the fast energy transfer from electrons to helium because of the high collision frequency in the high‐pressure discharge.

气云爆轰的一维模型

激波作用下，悬浮液谪在高温、高压和高速气流中变形、蒸发、剥离甚至破碎。雾化燃料经过一段延迟时间后点火燃烧释放出大量的能量。这些能量由局部爆炸波所携带，通过碰撞传递给引导微波，从而使气云爆轰波自持。文中提出的气云爆轰的一维模型考虑了上述基本过程，并从理论上推导了点火面和ＣＪ面的判据。通过计算，文中讨论了气云爆轰的松弛结构和影响ＣＪ爆速的因素，爆速的计算值与实验值基本相符。

CFD SIMULATION OF FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING IN DOWNER REACTORS

A mathematical model has been developed for the simulation of gas-particle flow and fluid catalytic cracking in downer reactors. The model takes into account both cracking reaction and flow behavior through a four-lump reaction kinetics coupled with two-phase turbulent flow. The prediction results show that the relatively large change of gas velocity affects directly the axial distribution of solids velocity and void fraction, which significantly interact with the chemical reaction. Furthermore, model simulations are carried out to determine the effects of such parameters on product yields, as bed diameter, reaction temperature and the ratio of catalyst to oil, which are helpful for optimizing the yields of desired products. The model equations are coded and solved on CFX4.4.
