Results are presented for the influence of initial temperature inhomogeneities on the heat release rate and the relative importance of diffusion and chemical reactions. The predicted heat release rates are compared with heat release rates of Chen et al. and Hawkes et al. obtained by two-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). Using the definition of Chen et al. for the displacement speed of the H2 mass fraction tracked at the location of maximum heat release, and a comparison of budget terms, different combustion modes including ignition front propagation and deflagration waves are identified and the results are compared to the DNS data. The LEM approach shows qualitatively and quantitatively reasonable agreement with the DNS data over the whole range of investigated temperature fluctuations. The results presented in this work suggest that LEM is a potential candidate as a sub-model for CFD calculations of HCCI engines.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchmidtOevermannBastiaansetal., author = {Schmidt, Heiko and Oevermann, Michael and Bastiaans, Rob J.M. and Kerstein, Alan R.}, title = {A Priori Tabulation of Turbulent Flame Speeds via a Combination of a Stochastic Mixing Model and Flamelet Generated Manifolds, Extended to Incorporate Strain Effects}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-11214}, number = {09-09}, abstract = {In this paper we revisit the a priori turbulent flame speed tabulation (TFST) technique for a given parameter space within the region of flamelet combustion-regimes. It can be used as a subgrid-scale (SGS) model in Large Eddy Simulation (LES). In a first step, stationary laminar flamelets are computed and stored over the progress variable following the ideas of flamelet generated manifolds (FGM). In a second step, the incompressible one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations supplemented by the equation for the progress variable are solved on a grid that resolves all turbulent scales. Additionally, turbulent transport is implemented via the linear eddy model (LEM). The turbulent flame structures are solved until a statistically stationary mean value of the turbulent flame speed has been reached. The results are stored in a table that could be used by large scale premixed combustion models, e.g. front tracking schemes. First results are compared quantitatively with direct numerical simulations (DNS) taken from literature. Then it is illustrated in one example how the new method could help to fix constants in algebraic models for turbulent flame speeds. Further it is shown how the technique can be extended to incorporate turbulent strain effects. Finally we investigate the effect of the use of detailed and tabulated chemistry under unsteady conditions.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchmidtOevermannBastiaansetal., author = {Schmidt, Heiko and Oevermann, Michael and Bastiaans, Rob J.M. and Kerstein, Alan R.}, title = {A priori Tabulation of Turbulent Flame Speeds via a Combination of a Stochastic Mixing Model and Flamelet Generated Manifolds}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-10532}, number = {08-02}, abstract = {In this paper we propose a technique for a priori turbulent flame speed tabulation (TFST) for a given parameter space in standard combustion-regime diagrams.
