AVBc - AVBP Combustion Computation
-
Author : Bénédicte Cuenot, CERFACS - cuenot@cerfacs.fr
Objectives :
The objective of this project is to compute reacting flows and to observe
propagating flames. The unstructured flower solver AVBP
of CERFACS is used. The final goal is the simulation of a flame attached
to a bluff body. Combustion introduces delicate numerical complexities,
and the following steps will be followed:
-
Simulation of a one-dimensional premixed flame: conservation equations,
initialization, boundary conditions, stability, influence of the chemistry,
etc. In particular the laminar flame speed will be computed and compared
to the theoretical value.
-
Simulation of the inert flow around a bluff body: After defining the geometry,
a mesh will be generated and the cold flow calculated. Particular attention
will be put on the influence of the boundary conditions and the pressure
control.
-
Simulation of a flame developing behind a bluff body: An initialisation
procedure will have to be defined. Again particular attention will be put
on boundary conditions. The influence of the chemical parameters will be
studied and used to define different regimes.
Working plan :
-
AVBc.1 : Introduction to the AVBP flow solver, execution of a simple test
case.
-
AVBc.2 : One-dimensional flame calculation.
-
AVBc.3 : Two-dimensional cold flow calculation.
-
AVBc.4 : Simulation of a flame developing behind a bluff body.
