Predictive accuracy of discrete ordinates method (DOM) was assessed by applying it to the prediction of incident radiative fluxes on the walls of a gas turbine combustor simulator (GTCS) and comparing its predictions with measurements. Input data utilized for the DOM were measured gas concentration and temperature profiles and inner wall temperatures of the GTCS which is a cylindrical enclosure containing a turbulent diffusion flame of propane and air. Effects of order of approximation (S-4 and S-6) and using uniform and non-uniform gas absorption coefficients for the non-homogeneous medium on the accuracy of the predicted heat fluxes were also investigated. Comparisons show that S-4 approximation is adequate for the prediction of incident wall heat fluxes and that the use of an absorption coefficient profile based on measured gas concentrations and temperatures improves the accuracy significantly.

The method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in cylindrical enclosures Harmandar, S; Selçuk, Nevin (2004-04-01) A radiation code based on method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in axisymmetric cylindrical enclosures containing absorbing-emitting medium was developed and tested for predictive accuracy by applying it to (i) test problems with black and grey walls (ii) a gas turbine combustor simulator enclosing a non-homogeneous absorbing-emitting medium and benchmarking its steady-state predictions against exact solutions and measurements. Comparisons show that it provides ac...
Performance of DOM and IDA with different angular discretization methods in 3-D absorbing-emitting-scattering media Ozen, Guzide; Selçuk, Nevin (2013-03-01) Predicted accuracy and computationally efficiency of Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM) and Improved Differential Approximation (IDA) were evaluated by applying both methods to cubical enclosure problems containing purely isotropically/linearly anisotropically scattering/absorbing-emitting-isotropically scattering medium and comparing their predictions with benchmark solutions available in the literature. Performances of DOM and IDA with S-8, S-10 and T-4 quadratures were assessed by comparing their prediction...
Assessment of SLW-1 model in the presence of gray and non-gray particles Özen, Guzide; ATEŞ, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2019-02-01) In this study, predictive accuracy of Gray Gas and SLW-1 approximations is benchmarked against Spectral Line-Based Weighted Sum of Grey Gases Model (SLW) in multidimensional enclosures involving gray/non-gray absorbing, emitting and scattering particles. Input data required for the radiation code and its validation are provided from two combustion tests previously carried out in a 300 kWt Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) test rig burning low calorific value Turkish lignite with high vola...
SENSITIVITY OF RADIATION MODELING TO PROPERTY ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES IN THE FREEBOARD OF LIGNITE- FIRED BUBBLING FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTORS ( BFBCs) Ozen, G.; Selçuk, Nevin (2014-05-04) Predictive accuracy and computationally efficiency of method of lines (MOL) solution of the discrete ordinate method (DOM) coupled with different radiative property estimation techniques (GG, SLW, SNBCK) are assessed by applying them to the prediction of incident radiative fluxes along the freeboard walls of a 0.3 MWt atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustor (ABFBC) and comparing their predictions with measurements generated previously from two runs one without and the other with recycle. Freeboard is t...
Evaluation of discrete ordinates method for radiative transfer in rectangular furnaces Selçuk, Nevin (1997-01-01) The discrete ordinates method (DOM) and discrete transfer method (DTM) were evaluated from the viewpoints of both predictive accuracy and computational economy by comparing their predictions with exact solutions available from a box-shaped enclosure problem with steep temperature gradients. Comparative testing shows that the S-4 approximation produces better accuracy in radiative energy source term than in flux density in three orders of magnitude less CPU time than that required by the DTM. The S-4 approxi...
