Abstract

Turbulent spray combustion occurs in many technical applications such as internal engine combustion, gas turbine combustion, liquid-fueled rockets, and industrial burners. Major challenges are the modeling of detailed processes including the atomization process, the turbulent flow field, particle motion and interaction, chemical reactions as well as the strong coupling between these processes. The method of choice to achieve an integral model for the modeling and simulation of turbulent spray combustion is the detailed modeling of fundamental processes and simplification of these models before they enter a more complex tool. Thus, it is guaranteed that models are based on physical grounds and the degree of detailedness is sufficient to capture the essential features of the underlying process. The final tool then is based on physical grounds and it is not burdened with details not contributing to the main features of the flame structure.

The present work aims to present an overview on the state of the art with respect to underlying physical models and challenges that need to be addressed in the near future. They include the modeling and simulation of turbulence, turbulent mixing as well as the interaction of evaporation with the turbulent flow field and the chemical reactions. Principal approaches to modeling sprays in a turbulent flow field such as RANS (Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations), DNS (direct numerical simulation) and LES (large eddy simulation) are addressed. Moreover, Reynolds stress models (RSM), PDF (probability density function), and CMC (conditional moment closure) models will be presented and discussed. These approaches can act both as general spray models and as subgrid models for LES.

In order to address environmental concerns, detailed chemical kinetics need to be considered to account for the prediction of pollutant emission and its reduction. Appropriate methods such as direct closure methods and (spray) flamelet models for turbulent spray flames are addressed. Also, reduced chemical mechanisms are discussed.

It is shown that most often gas flame models are not appropriate for spray flame modeling because of the high impact that both spray dynamics and evaporation have on spray combustion.

Moreover, numerical results using different models and experimental data mainly of research burners are discussed. The scope is the evaluation of present models, and future research areas of interest are identified.
