Calculations of Burning Velocity of Turbulent Premixed Flames Using a Flame Surface Density Model

抄録

The objective of the present paper is to develop and validate a newly formulated Flame Surface Density (FSD) model able to predict realistic turbulent burning velocities of premixed turbulent propagating flames over a wide range of flow conditions. Non-iterative transient numerical calculations of turbulent flame propagation in one-dimensional space are carried out over a range of turbulence Reynolds number using stoichiometric methane-air mixture. It is found that the new model closely predicts experimental data of turbulent burning velocity by Abdel-Gayed et al. (1987) as well as results from KPP (Kolmogorov, Petrovski, Piskonov) analytical method. The model formulation, and subsequent results of turbulent burning velocity and combustion regimes are presented and discussed in terms of the various physical processes that control flame/flow interactions in premixed combustion.
