| Abstract: | An algebraic concentration moment (ACM)-PDF turbulent combustion model is proposed. It is formulated by jointly utilizing the explicit algebraic expressions for the second-order-moment of concentration fluctuation and the presumed probability density function (PDF) of gas instantaneous temperature. A set of analytical expressions for the time-averaged temperature relevant quantity is obtained for the closure of the time-averaged reaction rate. The model is applied to the simulation of turbulent flow and combustion in a swirl combustor. The calculated gas velocity, temperature, species concentrations, and turbulent fluctuating velocity are in agreement with the measured data. They are much improved over those obtained by the EBU-Arrhenius model. |
