The configuration consists of a 1D fixed volume domain with a prescribed velocity spectrum and temperature fluctuations superimposed on an initial uniformly elevated scalar field. The sensitivity of the heat release rate and pressure evolution to the initial temperature distribution is studied by imposing different initial temperature fields while holding the mean, RMS and integral length scale of the field constant. Three detailed chemical mechanisms are employed for the prediction of autoignition and heat release rate. To mitigate the high computational cost associated with the calculation of the chemical source terms in the stiff complex mechanisms, an approach based on the Strang-Splitting method is presented.

ODT has been applied to a wide range of complex multi-scale flows, such as turbulent combustion. Previous ODT comparisons to experimental data have focused mainly on planar flows. Applications to cylindrical flows, such as round jets, have been based on rough analogies, e.g., by exploiting the fortuitous consistency of the similarity scalings of temporally developing planar jets and spatially developing round jets. To obtain a more systematic treatment, a new formulation of the ODT model in cylindrical and spherical coordinates is presented here. The model is written in terms of a geometric factor so that planar, cylindrical, and spherical configurations are represented in the same way. Temporal and spatial versions of the model are presented. A Lagrangian finite-volume implementation is used with a dynamically adaptive mesh. The adaptive mesh facilitates the implementation of cylindrical and spherical versions of the triplet map, which is used to model turbulent advection (eddy events) in the one-dimensional flow coordinate. In cylindrical and spherical coordinates, geometric stretching of the three triplet map images occurs due to the radial dependence of volume, with the stretching being strongest near the centerline. Two triplet map variants, TMA and TMB, are presented. In TMA, the three map images have the same volume, but different radial segment lengths. In TMB, the three map images have the same radial segment lengths, but different segment volumes. Cylindrical results are presented for temporal pipe flow, a spatial nonreacting jet, and a spatial nonreacting jet flame. These results compare very well to direct numerical simulation for the pipe flow, and to experimental data for the jets. The nonreacting jet treatment overpredicts velocity fluctuations near the centerline, due to the geometric stretching of the triplet maps and its effect on the eddy event rate distribution. TMB performs better than TMA. A hybrid planar-TMB (PTMB) approach is also presented, which further improves the results. TMA, TMB, and PTMB are nearly identical in the pipe flow where the key dynamics occur near the wall away from the centerline. The jet flame illustrates effects of variable density and viscosity, including dilatational effects.}, language = {en} } @misc{StarickMedinaMendezSchmidt, author = {Starick, Tommy and Medina M{\´e}ndez, Juan Ali and Schmidt, Heiko}, title = {One-Dimensional Turbulence simulations for reactive flows in open and closed systems}, series = {Technische Mechanik}, volume = {39}, journal = {Technische Mechanik}, number = {1}, doi = {10.24352/UB.OVGU-2019-015}, pages = {162 -- 174}, language = {en} } @misc{MedinaMendezSchmidt, author = {Medina M{\´e}ndez, Juan Ali and Schmidt, Heiko}, title = {One-dimensional turbulence investigation of incompressible and low Mach number variable density pipe-flow}, series = {Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics : PAMM}, volume = {18}, journal = {Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics : PAMM}, number = {1}, issn = {1617-7061}, doi = {10.1002/pamm.201800090}, pages = {2}, language = {en} } @misc{RakhiKleinMedinaMendezetal., author = {Rakhi, Rakhi and Klein, Marten and Medina M{\´e}ndez, Juan Ali and Schmidt, Heiko}, title = {One-dimensional turbulence modelling of incompressible temporally developing turbulent boundary layers with comparison to DNS}, series = {Journal of Turbulence}, volume = {20}, journal = {Journal of Turbulence}, number = {8}, issn = {1468-5248}, doi = {10.1080/14685248.2019.1674859}, pages = {506 -- 543}, abstract = {The incompressible temporally developing turbulent boundary layer (TBL) is analysed using the map-based stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. The TBL is a canonical flow problem, which is, in the present study, formed by a planar moving wall and a free stream at rest. An understanding of this idealised flow is of fundamental relevance for the numerical analysis of turbulent boundary-layer-type flows. In the present ODT simulations, the flow variables are resolved on all scales along a wall-normal, one-dimensional domain. These variables are evolved by a deterministic and a stochastic process. The latter models the effect of turbulent advection and pressure fluctuations, whereas the former represents molecular diffusion. The model is appropriate for high Reynolds numbers for which the turbulence field exhibits a broad range of scales and is notionally featureless. We show that ODT is able to capture salient features of the TBL by comparing the various statistics with available reference direct numerical simulation (DNS) results for different bulk Reynolds numbers in the range 250 ≤ Reb ≤ 2000 using fixed model parameters. The influence of the model parameters is analysed for Reb = 1000 and optimal parameter values are provided.

The multidimensional turbulent interactions in the flow are modeled by the separate implementation of turbulent advection and the diffusion-reaction processes, neglecting the mean advection of the system. On one hand, turbulent advection is modeled by means of the eddy events defined within the framework of ODT; on the other hand, the diffusion-reaction system is solved by means of the Zero-Mach limit conservation equations discretized with a 1D Finite Volume Method (FVM). The treatment is specialized in this work to constant volume systems. Due to the inherent stiffness of the diffusion-reaction system, an operator splitting approach is also included in the formulation. Results for n-Heptane chemistry comprising the temporal evolution of the heat release rate, pressure and normalized density-weighted displacement speed are shown and compared to DNS results from Yoo et al. [Combust. Flame 158 (2011) 1727-1741], in terms of individual ensemble members and mean ensemble behavior. The results show that it is possible to obtain reasonably good results in comparison to the DNS if an appropriate set of initial conditions is used. Furthermore, it is shown that the model uncertainty is negligible in comparison to the ensemble standard deviation introduced by randomized initial conditions.

This study focuses on the homogeneous modeling of structured catalysts utilizing volume-averaging theory (VAT) as a more efficient method for representing the behaviour of such systems.
