On Sunday, March, 2015, the Clean
Combustion Research Center organized a seminar on “Large Eddy Simulation of
“Multi-Physics” Turbulent Nonpremixed Combustion” by Dr. Micheal E. Mueller, Princeton
University.
In
this talk, Dr. Mueller explored two “multi-physics” complexities: soot and
boundary in-homogeneities. He talked about the modeling of soot in turbulent
non-premixed combustion, spanning from laboratory-scale flames to full-scale
gas turbine combustors. He also presented the modeling of turbulent non-premixed
combustion with in-homogeneous fuel streams. He explained how in practical
systems, non-premixed combustion happens between air and fuel-air pre-mixtures
often with variable composition and not between air and fuel. He presented
recent LES results with conventional non-premixed combustion model for a
laboratory-scale burner operating under such conditions.
