Abstract
- A new Lagrangian conditional moment closure (CMC) model is developed for multiple Lagrangian groups of sequentially evaporating fuel in turbulent spray combustion. Flame group interaction is taken into account as premixed combustion by the eddy breakup (EBU) model in terms of the probability of finding flame groups in the burned and the unburned state. Evaporation source terms are included in the two phase conditional transport equations, although they turn out to have negligible influence on the mean temperature field during combustion. The Lagrangian CMC model is implemented in OpenFOAM [1] and validated for test cases in the Engine Combustion Network (ECN) [2,3]. Similar ignition delays and lift-off lengths are predicted by the incompletely stirred reactor (ISR) and the Eulerian CMC models due to relatively uniform conditional flame structure in the domain. The improved Lagrangian CMC model shows no abrupt reaction or oscillatory behaviour with an appropriate model constantKand gives results in better agreement with measurements lying between the predictions by ISR and Lagrangian CMC without flame group interaction.
