Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has become an attractive simulation method even for technical processes and it usually provides space and time resolved fluctuations of a significant portion of the spectrum. However, in contrast to a RANS simulation an accurate LES requires the definition of suitable initial and boundary conditions, which includes turbulent structures with physically sound spatial and temporal correlations. Such turbulent structures are usually generated artificially at the boundary. Three different algorithms for generating turbulent fluctuations are evaluated in the present work. The investigated methods are Filtered noise [1], Diffused noise [2] and an Inverse Fourier approach [3,4]. These techniques were developed for generating inflow data for LES and have already been used in published research 15151, e.g. for investigating turbulent combustion processes. In the present work the turbulent statistics i.e. energy spectra and velocity correlations as well as derived quantities such as turbulent kinetic energy and subgrid scale viscosity are investigated in more detail in a comparative fashion for the generated turbulent velocity fields. As a simple test case, the decay of turbulence in a cubical box, is considered here to provide information on the initially generated turbulence as well as its temporal evolution. The results are analyzed in detail and are compared to experimental data. Turbulence fluctuations generated by Filtered noise and Diffused noise lead to similar results. The resulting energy spectra and velocity correlations agree generally well with experimental data despite some discrepancies at very early times after initialization. The Inverse Fourier approach yielded good agreement at all times, but at increased computational cost. In addition, the implementation of Filtered noise and Diffused noise might be easier for most cases of practical interest. In particular, the Diffused noise approach can be used for the generation of inhomogeneous turbulence on arbitrary grids. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Numerical investigation of boundary layer flashback of CH 4 /H 2 /air swirl flames under different thermal boundary conditions in a bluff -body swirl burner

Hao Xia, Wang Han, Xutao Wei, Meng Zhang, Jinhua Wang, Zuohua Huang, Christian Hasse

Summary: This study investigates the flashback phenomenon of hydrogen-enriched flames under different thermal boundary conditions. The results show that the characteristics of flashback are closely related to the boundary condition. Flashback can be led by either a large-scale swirling flame tongue (Mode I) or multiple small-scale flame bulges (Mode II), and the presence of these structures affects the speed of flashback. These findings have important implications for extending the flashback limit of hydrogen-enriched fuels.

Forced Ignition of a Rich Hydrogen/Air Mixture in a Laminar Counterflow: A Computational Study

Shumeng Xie, Xinyi Chen, Hannes Boettler, Arne Scholtissek, Christian Hasse, Zheng Chen

Summary: Forced ignition is widely used in engines, but it is difficult to ignite mixtures with large Le. This study investigates the forced ignition of a fuel-rich H-2/air mixture with Le approximately 2.3 in a laminar counterflow. The counterflow greatly affects the ignition kernel development and minimum ignition energy (MIE) for Le approximately 2.3. Increasing the strain rate extinguishes the radial flame and increases the MIE. Surprisingly, moving the ignition position away from the stagnation point reduces the MIE and promotes ignition.

Summary: In this study, a flamelet model is used to describe lean CH4-H2-air laminar Bunsen flames with inert gas as a coflow, considering multiple complex physical phenomena. Transport equations for several species and enthalpy are solved, and species diffusivities are evaluated with a mixture-averaged diffusion model. The accuracy of the model is verified through comparison with detailed chemistry results and experimental measurements, showing good agreement and superiority of the four-dimensional manifold in the mixing layer.

A Hybrid, Runtime Coupled Incompressible CFD-CAA Method for Analysis of Thermoacoustic Instabilities

Hanna Reinhardt, Cetin Alanyalioglu, Andre Fischer, Claus Lahiri, Christian Hasse

Summary: This work presents an analysis of self-excited thermoacoustic instabilities using a hybrid method that combines incompressible computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational aeroacoustics (CAA) simulations. The hybrid method couples the acoustic and convective physical phenomena by using mean flow field quantities and the thermoacoustic energy source term as inputs. The suitability of this implementation is demonstrated through the analysis of a well-known self-excited instability in a Rijke tube, and the results are compared with a fully compressible reference solution.

On polyhedral structures of lean methane/hydrogen Bunsen flames: Combined experimental and numerical analysis

Haris Lulic, Adrian Breicher, Arne Scholtissek, Pasquale Eduardo Lapenna, Andreas Dreizler, Francesco Creta, Christian Hasse, Dirk Geyer, Federica Ferraro

Summary: The objective of this study is to systematically characterize the polyhedral structures of premixed methane/hydrogen Bunsen flames through experimental and numerical investigations. It is observed that the cell sizes at the base of the polyhedral Bunsen flames decrease almost linearly with hydrogen addition and have a weak dependence on the equivalence ratio. The numerical results match the experimental findings, and the wavelength predicted by the linear stability analysis is comparable to the cell size obtained from the experiment.

Flame-vortex interaction during turbulent side-wall quenching and its implications for flamelet manifolds

Matthias Steinhausen, Thorsten Zirwes, Federica Ferraro, Arne Scholtissek, Henning Bockhorn, Christian Hasse

Summary: This study investigates the thermochemical state of a stoichiometric methane-air flame during turbulent flame-wall interaction using detailed chemistry simulation. The simulation reveals both head-on quenching and side-wall quenching-like behavior, which greatly affects CO formation near the wall. The findings are used to evaluate a recently proposed flame vortex interaction mechanism, which shows similar flame behavior and thermochemical states observed in experiments. A novel chemistry manifold is presented that incorporates exhaust gas recirculation effects and improves prediction accuracy in flame-vortex interaction near-wall regions.

Effect of flame retardants on side-wall quenching of partially premixed laminar flames

Matthias Steinhausen, Federica Ferraro, Max Schneider, Florian Zentgraf, Max Greifenstein, Andreas Dreizler, Christian Hasse, Arne Scholtissek

Summary: This study investigates partially premixed laminar methane-air flames undergoing side-wall quenching using experimental and numerical methods. The results show that at high injection rates, a boundary layer of enriched mixture is formed at the wall, resulting in a reaction zone parallel to the wall. Numerical simulations reveal that injecting the wall inflow with a phosphor-based flame retardant (DMMP) can reduce the thermal load on the quenching wall and improve the stability of the flame. This study provides important insights into the combined effects of flame retardants and heat losses in near-wall flames.

The potential of retrofitting existing coal power plants: A case study for operation with green iron

J. Janicka, P. Debiagi, A. Scholtissek, A. Dreizler, B. Epple, R. Pawellek, A. Maltsev, C. Hasse

Summary: This study assesses the possibility of converting an existing modern coal-fired power plant to operation with iron and its oxides, and finds that the main components can be reused with moderate modifications, but major modifications are needed for dealing with the larger amounts of solids produced during iron combustion. The net efficiencies of iron operation can be one to two percentage points better than coal operation, depending on operating conditions, which can significantly accelerate the introduction of this innovative technology.

An adjoint-based solver with adaptive mesh refinement for efficient design of coupled thermal-fluid systems

Emanuele Gallorini, Jerome Helie, Federico Piscaglia

Summary: A multi-objective continuous adjoint strategy has been implemented for topology optimization problems involving enhanced heat transfer and controlled mechanical power dissipation. The strategy is based on the superposition of boundary functions and is implemented in a finite volume, incompressible, steady flow solver with dynamic adaptive mesh refinement. The solver uses a porosity field to model the transition from fluid to solid and optimizes material distribution using the method of moving asymptotes. The implemented methodology is validated through numerical experiments on two- and three-dimensional test cases.

Second-Order Time-Accurate ALE Schemes for Flow Computations with Moving and Topologically Changing Grids

Daniel Costero, Federico Piscaglia

Summary: This article discusses the insufficiency of introducing grid velocity in the transport terms of governing equations in achieving conservativeness in the computation of unsteady flow problems using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method, when there are changes in the dynamic mesh topology and mesh cell numbers. To achieve second-order time accuracy of the solution, an extension to second-order time differencing schemes (Implicit Euler and Crank-Nicolson) in the finite volume framework is proposed. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

A comparison of mechanistic models for the combustion of iron microparticles and their application to polydisperse iron-air suspensions

Johannes Mich, Daniel Braig, Tobias Gustmann, Hristian Hasse, Arne Scholtissek

Summary: This study aims to explore the influence of polydispersity of iron particles on the reaction front speed. Three different models for iron particle oxidation were integrated into a laminar flame solver to simulate the reaction fronts. The results show that the different particle models lead to very different reaction front speeds due to the different ignition behavior predicted by the models. The study illustrates the complex relationship between characteristics of single particle ignition and combustion, polydispersity, and properties of reaction fronts.

Well-balanced kinetic schemes for two-phase flows

Jin Bao, Zhaoli Guo

Summary: At the equilibrium state of a two-phase fluid system, the chemical potential is constant and the velocity is zero. However, it is challenging to capture this equilibrium state accurately in numerical simulations, resulting in inconsistent thermodynamic interfacial properties and spurious velocities. Therefore, numerical schemes with well-balanced properties are preferred for simulating two-phase flows.

Shock capturing for a high-order ALE discontinuous Galerkin method with applications to fluid flows in time-dependent domains

Min Gao, Pascal Mossier, Claus-Dieter Munz

Summary: In recent decades, the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach has gained popularity in dealing with fluid flows with moving boundaries. This paper presents a novel algorithm that combines the ALE finite volume (FV) and ALE discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods into a stable and efficient hybrid approach. The main challenge of this mixed ALE FV and ALE DG method is reducing the inconsistency between the two discretizations. The proposed algorithm is implemented into a loosely-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework and is demonstrated through various benchmark test cases and complex scenarios.

Analysis of improved digital filter inflow generation methods for compressible turbulent boundary layers

Luis Laguarda, Stefan Hickel

Summary: We propose several enhancements to improve the accuracy and performance of the digital filter turbulent inflow generation technique, such as introducing a more realistic correlation function and varying target length scales. Additionally, we suggest generating inflow data in parallel at a prescribed time interval to improve computational performance. Based on the results of large-eddy simulations, these enhancements have shown to be beneficial. Suppressing streamwise velocity fluctuations at the inflow leads to the fastest relaxation of pressure fluctuations. However, this approach increases the adaptation length, which can be shortened by artificially increasing the wall-normal Reynolds stresses.
