Numerical study on flame propagation in n-heptane/air mixture with the use of a gradient LES combustion model

Jaworski P., Teodorczyk A.

This paper presents the results of numerical simulations with a combustion model using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The objective is to check whether the proposed combustion model is capable of representing the laminar reacting flow. The numerical results are compared with flame front propagation data gained from experiments. The combustion model is based on the gradient method, which determines flame propagation. The gradient is calculated from the mass fraction of fuel or products. Laminar burning velocity is described by empirical correlation. Flame generated turbulence is used in this study to represent the nonlinear flame propagation effects in the laminar reacting flow. From the results it is concluded that flame generated turbulence can be used for laminar reacting flows and is important for representation of the combustion process in numerical simulations. The gradient combustion model for turbulence reacting flow is capable of proper representation of the flame front in laminar reacting flows. The gradient combustion model for LES did not increase the time needed for calculation, making it an attractive method in full engine cycle simulations.
