Comparison of Combustion Models and Assessment of Their Applicability to the Simulation of Premixed Turbulent Combustion in IC-Engines

In order to simulate the turbulent combustion process occurring in spark-ignition (IC) engines, it is necessary to provide suitable and numerically economical models, the latter being particularly important in the application to industrial problems. Moreover, these models must deliver sufficiently accurate results for the unsteady operation of spark combustion engines, concerning variable geometries, temperatures, pressures and charge development in different configurations. In this work different turbulent combustion models for premixed hydrocarbon combustion are compared with respect to their ability to accurately predict the propagation of turbulent perfectly premixed flames. As a first configuration a cylinder of constant volume was studied. Transient calculations were used to simulate the propagation of the turbulent flame and to evaluate the resulting turbulent burning velocity. These calculations were performed for a perfect mixture of air and hydrocarbons at stoichiometric mixture and different initial conditions concerning pressure, temperature and turbulence intensity. As a second configuration a stationary turbulent bunsen-type flame with methane fuel was used to validate the turbulent combustion model of [Lindstedt and Vaos, Combust. Flame 116 (1999) 461] at different pressures. Calculated results were then compared to experimental data of [Kobayashi, Tamura, Maruta and Niioka.

Near-wall model for boundary layer turbulence

The evolution of an intermittently created isolated three-dimensional turbulent eddy near a wall is followed in space and time on the assumption that its structure evolves on three separate time scales, a shear interaction one, a viscous one, and a nonlinear one. The large-time limit of the solution for the shear interaction stage shows many of the observed features of the near-wall turbulence structure such as the formation of shear layers, of streaks, and of streamwise vortices. It also provides initial conditions for the viscous and nonlinear stages showing viscous decay of convected structures and the possibility of a singularity in the nonlinear development. The eddy model is also used to construct a new model for the turbulent shear stress showing strong similarity to Prandtl's mixing-length model.     

Modelling of inhomogeneous turbulence in the absence of mean velocity gradients

In this paper we propose a new rational model for turbulent transport of Reynolds stresses and dissipation. For this purpose we first analyse some properties of diffused turbulence i.e. turbulence where dissipation is balanced by turbulent diffusion arising from inhomogeneity. Then we use some of these results to deduce some mathematical requirements that must be satisfied by any rational model and we show that they are not verified by available models. Consequently we derive a more general model taking into account the various properties of diffused turbulence.     

Chemical markers’ fishing and knockout for holistic activity and interaction evaluation of the components in herbal medicines

A strategy based on chemical markers’ fishing and knockout has been proposed for holistic activity and interaction evaluation of the bioactive components in herbal medicines (HMs). It was devised to screen bioactive-compound group that represents the efficacy of HM, estimate the bioactivity contribution of each component and elucidate the interactions of multi-components. This strategy was accomplished through the following steps: (1) screen out the chemical markers (target peaks) in a HM fingerprint using online two-dimensional turbulent flow chromatography/liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry technique, (2) fish target peaks and knockout any interested peak, and (3) evaluate the bioactivities of fishing and knockout portions. After comparison of the bioactivities of samples containing different target peaks, the efficacy of target-peak group, bioactivity contribution of each compound, and the interactions of multi-components are elucidated. Using Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Bulbs of Lycoris radiata (L. Herit.) Herb. (BLR) as the experimental materials, four target peaks were screened out as the AChE binders. By target peaks’ fishing and knockout, combined with activity evaluation, we observed that the bioactivity of the four-peak mixture is similar with the global bioactivity of BLR extract, and there are significant suppressive actions among these four target peaks. These results indicate that this proposed strategy is a useful approach for holistic screening of bioactive-compound group and elucidation of the multi-component interactions in HM.
