Description
Combustion is an essential process as it represents more than 80% of the total energy production in the world. For power, efficiency and compacity reasons, combustion takes place in a turbulent flow. Mastering such phenomena are important to improve the combustion-based systems and limit their damaging consequences. This course discusses the fundamentals of turbulent combustion and acoustics and their modelling. The topics include turbulent combustion fundamentals; chemistry description and modelling; premixed and diffusion flames modelling.
Objectifs
As specific objectives, by the end of the course students should be able to:
- Master local balance equations in laminar regime, chemistry and turbulence. Distinguish canonical flames
- Analyse turbulent and combustion scales
- Identify turbulent flame interaction effects
- Derive and explain filtered Navier-Stokes equations for reactive flows
- List turbulent combustion models and apply some in real applications
- Describe combustion instabilities and spray combustion phenomena
