Abstract
This study is related to the development of a model for the computation of pool fires of liquefied natural gas -sponsered by GAZ de FRANCE and SOCIETE NATIONALE d'EXPLORATION d'AQUITAINE-PRODUCTION. -As a first step, low Froude number flames which are similar to pool fires, are simulated.
A two-dimensional numerical model, HADES, using finite difference techniques, is presented: the combustion process involves a single chemical reaction, with a probability density function fitted using mean and RMS computed mixing rate values ; a modified discrete transfer method allows to determine radiative fluxes. The k-epsilon model is used for turbulence. Several tests about the soot production model show it remains the most sensitive point.
The model is compared to laboratory experiments on propane flames and a kerozene pool fire, performed in Poitiers (C.N.R.S.).
