Combustor model for 2D simulation Hexahedral mesh elements were used because the flow direction is parallel to the combustor wall. For the initial simulations, a total of 1891 nodes were used for the 2D grid while the 3D computational domain has 39266 nodes. The main reason for the non-uniformity of the grids is to capture the salient features of the combustion process.

NOx Emission prediction from a turbulent diffusion flame
Article
Full-text available
  • Mar 2014
This work studies the finite volume technique of numerical discretisation by considering a transport process of diffusion. The case investigated is the prediction of NOx emissions from a turbulent diffusion flame arising from the combustion of methane in a cylindrical furnace. A finite volume-based method in a commercial CFD code (Ansys Fluent) was...

Burning Velocity and Markstein Length Blending Laws for Methane/Air and Hydrogen/Air Blends
Article
Full-text available
  • Aug 2016
Because of the contrasting chemical kinetics of methane and hydrogen combustion, the development of blending laws for laminar burning velocity, ul, and Markstein length for constituent mixtures of CH4/air and H2/air presents a formidable challenge. Guidance is sought through a study of analytical expressions for laminar burning velocity. For the pr...
