Modelling of the Flame Surface Density Transport During Flame-Wall Interaction of Premixed Flames within Turbulent Boundary Layers
COMBUSTION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY(2024)
Abstract
A priori Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) analysis of the modelling of the generalised flame surface density (FSD) transport equation in the framework of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations has been conducted with a focus on flame-wall interaction (FWI) within turbulent boundary layers. The analysis was performed using two different scenarios: one involving the unsteady head-on interaction of a statistically planar premixed flame as it propagates through a turbulent boundary layer, and the other addressing statistically stationary oblique-wall interaction of a V-shaped premixed flame within a turbulent channel flow. Flame-wall interaction has been observed to exert a significant influence on the statistical behavior of the terms in the FSD transport equation. Throughout all phases of flame-wall interaction in both configurations, the primary source and sink terms in the FSD transport equation are consistently associated with the tangential strain rate and curvature terms. The relative importance of the contributions of the propagation and turbulent transport terms in the FSD transport equation have been found to be influenced by the flame-wall interaction configuration. Existing models for the tangential strain rate term in the FSD transport equation have been identified as inadequate based on a priori DNS assessment. Hence, adjustments to these models have been proposed to address the impact of flame orientation and near-wall effects specifically in the context of flame-wall interaction within turbulent boundary layers. The alignment between the flame normal vector and the wall normal vector has been identified as a crucial factor in modelling the contributions of unresolved dilatation rate and unresolved normal strain rate to the FSD transport equation. New models for these terms have been demonstrated to exhibit satisfactory agreement with the corresponding terms extracted from DNS data.
