Subgrid-scale dynamics and model test in a turbulent stratified jet with coexistence of stable and unstable stratification

The subgrid-scale dynamics of stratified flows is studied in a horizontally introduced turbulent jet with coexistence of stable and unstable stratification of a low Richardson number case and a high Richardson number case. The positive production of subgrid-scale kinetic energy and the production of scalar variance suggest the forward energy cascade. The subgrid-scale buoyant destruction plays a role as a sink of subgrid-scale kinetic energy in the stable stratification while holds a role of turbulent generation in the unstable stratification. The role-switch of buoyant destruction in the stable stratification of high-Ri case implies the occurrence of a destabilising process triggered by the coupled instability mechanisms. The energy balance assumption related to the production of and the dissipation of subgrid-scale kinetic energy as well as the subgrid-scale buoyant destruction may fail. The a-priori test suggests the scale-invariant dynamic and standard Smagorinsky models not to work properly here, while the scale-dependent dynamic model gives a decent performance but with restrictions of the ratio between two testing filter scales.

Zur spektralen Verteilung der Turbulenzenergie und ihrer Komponenten in turbulenten Grenzschichten

On the Spectral Distribution of Turbulent Energy and Components in Turbulent Boundary Layers KOLMOGOROV 's theory of the inertial subrange of energy spectrum is presented for turbulent boundary layers. As a consequence KOVASZNAY 's formula for the transfer of kinetic energy is confirmed. It is shown that the structure of the turbulent transfer of momentum in boundary layers is analogous to the structure of the transfer of kinetic energy in the spectrum. For the spectral distribution of the turbulent shear stress in the subrange a k^?3 law (k wave number) – apparently in agreement with measurements – is derived from dimensional arguments. It follows that the exchange of energy among the components of turbulent energy in the subrange is some orders of magnitude smaller than the latter.     

DNS analysis of boundary layer flashback in turbulent flow with wall-normal pressure gradient

The presence of swirl in combustion systems produces a marked change in their boundary layer flashback behaviour. Two aspects of swirling flow are investigated in this study: the effect of the swirl-generated wall-normal pressure gradient, and the effect of misalignment between the mean flow direction and the direction of flame propagation. The analysis employs Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of fuel-lean premixed hydrogen-air flames in turbulent planar channel flow with friction Reynolds number of 180. The effect of swirl on the flashback process is investigated by imposing a wall-normal pressure gradient profile. Analysis of the DNS data shows how the resulting differences in flow field and flame topology contribute to the differences in the overall flashback speed. Misalignment of the flow and propagation directions leads to asymmetry in the flame shape statistics as streaks of high velocity fluid in the boundary layer cleave into the flame front at an angle, yielding an increase in flame surface density away from the wall. Swirl has a stabilising effect on the turbulent flame front during flashback along the centre-body of a swirling annular flow due to the density stratification across the flame front, and produces a reduction in turbulent consumption speed. However the swirl also sets up a hydrostatic pressure difference that drives the flame forward, and the net effect is that the flashback speed is increased. The dominance of hydrostatic effects motivates development of relatively simple modelling for the effect of swirl on flashback speed. A model accounting for the inviscid momentum balance and for confinement effects is presented which adequately describes the effect of swirl on flashback speed observed in previous experimental studies.     

各向同性湍流中颗粒引起湍流变动的直接模拟

本文通过直接数值模拟对均匀各向同性湍流中颗粒对湍流的变动作用进行了研究.颗粒相的体积分数很小而质量载荷足够大,以至于颗粒之间的相互作用可以忽略不计,而重点考虑颗粒与湍流间能量的交换。颗粒对湍流的反向作用使得湍动能的耗散率增强,以至于湍动能的衰减速率增大.湍动能的衰减速率随颗粒惯性的增大而增大。三维湍动能谱显示,颗粒对湍动能的影响在不同的尺度上是不均匀的。在低波数段,流体带动颗粒,而高波数段则相反.

A-priori evaluations of subgrid-scale terms for large-eddy simulation of compressible turbulent flows

The subgrid-scale terms for different formulations of the energy equation are evaluated from a-priori tests using the direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of a compressible mixing layer at a moderate Mach number of M = 0.65. To extend the generality of the results, the simulations were performed with three different initial conditions for the velocity fields. To examine the impact of strong temperature variations on the subgrid scales, a non-isothermal mixing layer with lower to upper free-stream temperature ratio of 3 is also considered. For cold simulations, with equal free-stream temperatures, the total energy equation is shown to be the best choice in view of the accuracy and the subgrid-scale modelling requirements. For hot simulations, with the free-stream temperature ratio equal to 3, the total enthalpy equation is found to be the best formulation for the energy equation. Furthermore, it is shown that the subgrid-scale pressure dilatation term, which has been largely neglected so far, is of the same order of the subgrid-scale heat flux. Based on the present results, the contribution of the subgrid-scale pressure dilatation can be up to 46% of the total sugbrid-scale activity. Moreover, the time evolutions of the volume-average mean kinetic energy, turbulent kinetic energy, production, dissipation, and pressure dilatation terms are considered. Unlike the subgrid-scale pressure dilatation term, the volume-average pressure dilatation terms are negligible, and compressibility does not affect the large-scale evolutions of the mean and turbulent kinetic energies.     

Study of vortex core precession in combustion chambers

The article presents the results of experimental investigation of swirling flow of lean propane/air flame in a model combustion chamber at atmospheric pressure. To study the unsteady turbulent flow, the particle image velocimetry technique was used. It was concluded that dynamics of high swirl flows with and without combustion was determined by a global helical mode, complying with a precessing double-spiral coherent vortex structure. The studied low swirl flame had similar size and stability characteristics, but amplitude of the coherent helical structure substantially oscillated in time. The oscillations were associated with intermittently appearing central recirculation zone that was absent in the nonreacting flow. It is expected that the low swirl flow without the permanent central recirculation zone should be more sensitive to an external active control. In particular, this result may be useful for suppression of thermoacoustic resonance in combustion chambers.     

Detailed measurements of local scalar front structures in stagnation-type turbulent premixed flames

Local scalar front structures of OH mole fraction, reaction progress variable, and its three-dimensional gradient have been measured in stagnation-type turbulent premixed flames. The reaction progress variable front is observed to change with increasing turbulence from parallel iso-scalar contours but reduced progress variable gradients, called the lamella-like front, to disrupted non-parallel iso-contours that deviate substantially from those of wrinkled laminar flamelets, called the non-flamelet front. This transition is attributed to the different scales of interaction between the flame internal structure and a spectrum of turbulence extending from the integral scale to the Kolmogorov scale. The lamella-like front pattern occurs when the length scales of interaction are smaller than the laminar flame thickness but the time scales are greater than the flame residence time. The non-flamelet front pattern occurs when the length scales of interaction are greater than the laminar flame thickness but the time scales are smaller than the flame residence time. This difference corresponds to the change of combustion regime from complex-strain flame front to turbulent flame front on a revised regime diagram. A correlation is also proposed for the turbulent flame brush thickness as a function of turbulent Reynolds number and heat release parameter. The heat release parameter is considered to arise from the non-passive effects of flame-surface wrinkling.

Subgrid modeling of intrinsic instabilities in premixed flame propagation

This work is devoted to the investigation and subgrid-scale modeling of intrinsic flame instabilities occurring in the propagation of a deflagration wave. Such instabilities, of hydrodynamic and thermodiffusive origin, are expected to be of particular relevance in recent technological trends such as in the use of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier or as a secondary fuel in hydrogen enriched combustion. A dedicated set of direct numerical simulations is presented and used, in conjunction with coherent literature results, in order to develop scaling arguments for the propagation speed of self-wrinkled flames which are also supported by the outcomes of a weakly non-linear model, namely the Sivashinsky equation. The observed scaling is based on the definition of the number of unstable wavelengths in a reference hydrodynamic lengthscale, in other words the ratio between the neutral or cutoff lengthscale of intrinsic instabilities and the lateral domain of a planar flame. The scalings are then employed to develop an algebraic model for the wrinkling factor in the context of a flame surface density closure approach. An a-priori analysis shows that the model correctly captures the flame wrinkling caused by intrinsic instability at sub grid level. A strategy to include the developed self-wrinkling model in the context of a turbulent combustion model is finally discussed on the basis of the turbulence induced cut-off concept.

Large Eddy Simulation of a turbulent lifted flame using multi-modal manifold-based models: Feasibility and interpretability

A general model for multi-modal turbulent combustion is achievable with two-dimensional manifold equations that use the mixture fraction and a generalized progress variable as coordinates. Information about the underlying mode of combustion is encoded in three scalar dissipation rates that appear as parameters in the two-dimensional equations. In this work, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of a multi-modal turbulent lifted hydrogen jet flame in a vitiated coflow is performed using this new turbulent combustion model, leveraging both convolution-on-the-fly and In-Situ Adaptive Tabulation for computational tractability. The simulation predicts a lifted flame consistent with observations from past experiments. The feasibility of such a model implemented in LES is examined, and the cost per timestep is found to be comparable to conventional one-dimensional manifold-based models describing one asymptotic mode of combustion. Additionally, the model provides clear interpretability, allowing for combustion mode analysis to be performed with ease by evaluating the scalar dissipation rates and generalized progress variable source term. This analysis is used to show that the flame is stabilized by autoignition and has a trailing nonpremixed flame. Furthermore, transport of progress variable from the most reactive mixture fraction towards richer mixtures at the centerline is found to be important.
