Abstract: | For general reacting flows the numerical simulation faces two main challenges. One is the high dimensionality and stiffness of the governing conservation equations due to detailed chemistry, which can be solved by using simplified chemical kinetics. The other one is the difficulty of modeling the coupling of turbulence with thermo-chemical source term. The probability density function (PDF) method allows to calculate turbulent reacting flows by solving the thermal-chemical source term in closed form. Usually, the PDF method for turbulent processes such as mixing processes and the reduction method for chemical kinetics are developed separately. However, coupling of both processes plays an important role for the numerical accuracy. To investigate the importance of coupling between turbulence and simplified chemistry, two different coupling strategies for mixing and reduced chemistry are discussed and tested for the well-known Sandia Flames E and F, in which there is a strong interaction between turbulence and chemical kinetics. The EMST mixing model is chosen for turbulent mixing, while the Reaction-Diffusion Manifolds (REDIMs) is used as simplified chemistry. However, the proposed strategies are also valid for other mixing models and manifold based simplified chemistry. |
