Modeling Natural Gas Combustion in Laminar and Turbulent Chemically Reactive Flows
Abstract
The combustion of CH4 in air is examined through the use of computational fluid dynamics modeling. The standard laminar and turbulent case conservation equations are revised or in some instances replaced with non-differential algebraic equations. A conserved scalar approach utilizing an assumed probability function, in the turbulent case, based on the mixture fraction is used to determine the enthalpy, species mass fraction, and temperature fields as a function of the mixture fraction and initial boundary conditions. These alterations have been successfully implemented into the FORTRAN code of Phoenics 1.6, a computational fluid dynamics program, for the laminar case of a jet issuing into co-flowing air.
