Abstract

A new tabulated chemistry approach for representing turbulent combustion in industrial furnaces is presented. This model is based on the tabulation of two dimensional diffusion flamelets to account for ternary mixtures between fuel, oxidant and burned gases which are integrated over probability density functions. To avoid excessive CPU time for the table generation, the calculation of the two dimensional flamelets is performed using the method proposed in the ADF-PCM (Approximated Diffusion Flame - Presumed Conditional Moment) approach: only the equation for the progress variable is solved, instead of the equations for all species. The progress variable reaction rate is given by a table of homogeneous reactors using the DHR model (Diluted Homogeneous Reactor) proposed by Locci et al. These approximated diffusion flames are first compared to exact diffusion flames computed using the flamelet equations and the chemistry for all species. The resulting model, called A2DF (Approximate 2 Dimensional Flamelet) is then applied to the RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) simulations of Sandia Flames D and F, showing a good agreement with experimental measurements. Finally, this model is applied to the flameless and conventional combustion cases of the burner of Verissimo et al., showing a correct agreement for temperature and species predictions.
