Supersonic Combustion Modeling and Simulation on General Platforms

Toward Large-eddy/reynolds-averaged Simulation of Supersonic Combustion

While flamelet-based progress variable models have matured to production-level in recent years for incompressible flows, little development toward compressible formulations of the flamelet model has ensued. For supersonic and hypersonic flows exhibiting combustion, an applicable flamelet-based combustion model must reflect the compressible nature of the flow, the tight coupling of the flow and ...

Supersonic Combustion Ramjet Research

Modeling and simulation of luminescence detection platforms.

Motivated by the design of an integrated CMOS-based detection platform, a simulation model for CCD and CMOS imager-based luminescence detection systems is developed. The model comprises four parts. The first portion models the process of photon flux generation from luminescence probes using ATP-based and luciferase label-based assay kinetics. An optics simulator is then used to compute the inci...

On the Dependence of Soot Formation and Combustion on Swirling Combustion Furnaces: Measurement and Simulation

Soot concentration distribution is investigated both numerically and experimentally in methane-air diffusion flame. The experimental work is conducted with a cylindrical swirl stabilized combustor. Filter paper technique is used to measure soot volume fraction inside the combustor. The numerical simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for swirling turbule...
