Reynolds Averaged and Large Eddy Simulation Modeling for Turbulent Combustion

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Centre de Physique des Houches ((LHWINTER,volume 5))

Abstract

Combustion is a widely used technique in energy transformation and is encountered in many practical systems such as heaters, domestic or industrial furnaces, thermal power plants, automotive and aeronautic engines, rocket engines,... In most applications, combustion occurs in turbulent gaseous flows. Accordingly, the interaction between turbulence and combustion has to be described. Combustion phenomena may be characterized by:

  • a strong and irreversible heat release. Heat release occurs in very thin zones (typical flame thicknesses δ L are about 0.1 to 1 mm) and induces strong temperature gradients (temperature ratio between burnt and unburnt gases, T b /T u , are about 5 to 7) leading to strong heat transfers and large density variations.

  • a stiff highly non linear reaction rate (Arrhenius law).
