Natural gas flow contains undesirable solid particles, liquid condensation, and/or oil droplets and requires reliable removing equipment to perform filtration. Recent natural gas processing applications are demanded compactness and reliability of process equipment. Since conventional means are sophisticated in design, poor in efficiency, and continue lacking robust, a supersonic nozzle has been...

The self-adaptive turbulence eddy simulation (SATES) is employed to investigate the lean premixed methane/air turbulent flame in a single-nozzle model gas turbine combustor, which high axial momentum jet issuing from an off-center nozzle facilitates development of large-scale, dominant lateral recirculation zone that stabilizes flame. For modeling, SATES method can dynamically adjust proportion...

This work aims to study the characteristics of multi-nozzle spray cooling using CFD method based on the fundamentals of air flow and liquid droplet collision dynamics. A mathematical model for the two-phase flow was presented. The simulations were performed using a EulerianeLagrangian approach. Focus was placed on revealing the flow behavior with multiple nozzles, the droplet trajectory, and th...

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements for six separate flow bypass ratio five nozzle configurations have recently been obtained in the NASA Langley Jet Noise Laboratory. The six configurations include a baseline configuration with round core and fan nozzles, an eight-chevron core nozzle at two different clocking positions, and repeats of these configurations with a pylon included. One r...

The vortical and turbulent structure changes in the near field (X/D<3.0) of the jet mixing flow caused by a lobed nozzle had been investigated experimentally in the present study. The techniques of planar Laser Induced Fluoresce (LIF) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) were used to accomplish the flow visualization and velocity field measurements. The experimental results showed that, compare...

A computational investigation of high-pressure hydrogen–air partially premixed flames (PPFs) is reported to characterize the effect of pressure on the flame structure, and the relevance of reaction limits for these flames. The flames are computed using the Mueller mechanism consisting of 19 elementary reactions and 9 species. Although the mechanism has been validated during previous investigati...

In this paper, the interaction of a transonic, turbulent axisymmetric jet with the workpiece is studied. Numerical simulations are carried out using an explicit, coupled solution algorithm with solution-based mesh adaptation. Effect of gas pressure and nozzle standoff distance on structure of the supersonic shock pattern is studied. Experiments are carried out to study the effect of processing ...

The stabilization mechanism of nozzle-attached flames in laminar non-premixed jets was studied experimentally and numerically. local gas flow velocity the flame propagation speed within mixing layer at base were obtained before blowout limit reached. experimental results show that, for burner-attached flames, is much less than burning speed, suggesting that partially premixed stopped. thickness...

In this paper a numerical approach for the prediction of the unsteady atomization process of liquid fuel in Diesel engine is presented. The dependences between the transient nozzle flow and spray formation are analysed. For that purpose models to simulate unsteady nozzle flows including the transient behaviour of cavitation and two-phase atomization process are employed. Results of transient fl...
