Assessment of turbulence-chemistry interaction models in the computation of turbulent non-premixed flames

Abstract

The present work reports on the assessment of different turbulence-chemistry interaction closures for the modelling of turbulent non-premixed combustion. Two-dimensional axisymmetric simulations have been carried out based on three different laboratory flames. The methane fueled, piloted jet flame Sandia D, the simple jet syngas flame and the so-called Delft Jet-in-Hot Coflow flame are studied. All the flames can be characterised as non-premixed but differ by some features which are taken into account through appropriate modelling approach.
