The main objective of the work presented in this paper will be to present and discuss the development and implementation of a numerical model to simulate soot formation and depletion in turbulent diffusion flames. The relevance of such model lays on the importance of tying the formation of soot to the ongoing reaction mechanism so that it is fully integrated into the combustion process. The mod...

DESIREH stands for “Design, Simulation and Flight Reynolds Number testing for advanced High Lift Solutions”. This EC-funded project is aimed to improve the aerodynamic design and simulation methodology of high-lift systems. The investigations made include the acceleration of CFD simulations, the improvement of enhanced optical measurement methods in cryogenic environment, and the assessment of ...

act— A CFD-based numerical model has been ed for the determination of the volume concentration ber density of soot in a laminar diffusion flame of in air, under transient condition following ignition of e. The transience is studied from the point of ignition final steady state is reached. The burner is an axiric co-flowing one with the fuel issuing through a port and air through an annular port...

Since diesel exhaust gas has more ambient air pollutants such as NOx and particulate matters (PM) including soot, the special treatment for exhaust emission standards is needed. Recently, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed to reduce PM in the after-treatment of exhaust gas. However, since the structure of the filter is small and complex, it is impossible to examine the phenome...

The measurements of a turbulent swirl flow in the subchannels of a 5 x 5 rod array having typical mixing devices at the MATIS-H (Measurements and Analysis of Turbulence In SubchannelsHorizontal) facility have been analysed using a commercial CFD code of STAR-CCM+ 4.02 with a unit grid model having no unmatched grid interface. The main objectives of this analysis is to establish a proper CFD ana...

There is considerable interest in developing fuel-flexible, low emissions turbines for power generation. One approach is based on burning a variety of lean premixed fuels with relatively low flame temperatures. Such flames can be stabilized in a low swirl burner configuration, for example, using a variety of fuels such as pure hydrogen and hydrogen-seeded hydrocarbon mixtures. However, many hyd...

In this paper, validated simulations using Ricardo WAVE have been performed to investigate the effect of Miller cycle and low-carbon fuels on performance (power, torque, BTE BSFC) emissions a diesel engine. The results show that increased (larger deviation advanced or retarded intake valve closing from standard time) will decrease NOx, CO HC emissions, slightly improve brake thermal efficiency ...

A computational study of a directinjection (DI) engine intake system using KIVA-3V was conducted. The engine considered had two intake ports designed to generate a swirling motion of the intake charge in the cylinder. To investigate the effect of adding shrouds to the intake valves on swirl, two sets of intake valves were considered; the first set consisted of conventional valves, and the secon...
