On Lean Turbulent Combustion Modeling
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper investigates a lean methane-air flame with different chemical reaction mechanisms, for laminar and turbulent combustion, approached as one and bi-dimensional problem. The numerical results obtained with Cantera and Ansys Fluent software are compared with experimental data obtained at CORIA Institute, France. First, for laminar combustion, the burn temperature is very well approximated for all chemical mechanisms, however major differences appear in the evaluation of the flame front thickness. Next, the analysis of turbulence-combustion interaction shows that the numerical predictions are suficiently accurate for small and moderate turbulence intensity.

Drag coefficient modelling in the context of small launcher optimisation
The purpose of this paper is to present a fast mathematical model that can be used to quickly asses the drag coefficient for generic launcher configurations. The tool developed based on this mathematical model can be use...
The oxidation behavior of classical thermal barrier coatings exposed to extreme temperature
Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are designed to protect metal surfaces from extreme temperatures and improve their resistance to oxidation during service. Currently, the most commonly used systems are those that have the...
Space Technology for Reduction of Desert Areas on Earth and Weather Control
In precedent papers the authors presented the idea of a space system composed of two opposite parabolic mirrors (large and small) having the same focal point. This system is able to concentrate solar power in a strong li...
Longitudinal Absolute Stability of a BWB Aircraft-Pilot System with Saturated Actuator Model
This paper deals with the analysis of the P(ilot) I(n-the-Loop) O(scillations) of the second category (with rate and position liming in the closed loop pilot-vehicle system), caused by the dynamic coupling between the hu...
Brinkman–Forchheimer-Darcy flow past an impermeable cylinder embedded in a porous medium
For the flow past an impervious cylinder embedded in a fluid saturated porous medium only the linear (Darcy and Darcy - Brinkman) models were used. In this work, the flow past an impermeable cylinder embedded in a fluid...
