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 treated as a three-dimensional rectangular enclosure containing a gray/non-gray, absorbing-emitting-isotropically scattering medium. Radiative properties of particles are evaluated by using geometric optics approximation. A comparative study is also provided between the source term distributions predicted by MOL solution of DOM with gray gas (GG), spectral line-based weighted sum of gray gases (SLW), and statistical narrow-band correlated-k (SNBCK) along the centerline of the freeboard for both runs. Comparisons reveal that the MOL solution of DOM with SLW model and geometric optics approximation provides accurate and computationally efficient solutions for wall fluxes and source term distributions in the freeboard of fluidized bed combustors containing particle laden combustion gases.

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...
Comparison of method of lines and finite difference solutions of 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for transient laminar pipe flow Selçuk, Nevin; Tanrikulu, S (2002-03-10) Performances of method of lines (MOL) and finite difference method (FDM) were tested from the viewpoints of solution accuracy and central processing unit (CPU) time by applying them to the solution of time-dependent 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for transient laminar flow without/with sudden expansion and comparing their results with steady-state numerical predictions and measurements previously reported in the literature. Predictions of both methods were obtained on the same computer by using the same order ...
Performance of discrete ordinates method in a gas turbine combustor simulator Kayakol, N; Selçuk, Nevin; Campbell, I; Gulder, OL (2000-03-01) 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 usi...
Radiative Heat Transfer in the Dilute Zone of an Air-Fired Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor and Its Oxy-Fired Retrofit Ozen, G.; Aydin, F.; Selçuk, Nevin (2016-01-01) A 2D radiation model based on method of lines (MOL) solution of discrete ordinates method (DOM) coupled with spectral line-based weighted sum of gray gases model (SLW) is developed to predict radiative heat fluxes along the dilute zone of the lignite-fired 150 kWt Middle East Technical University (METU) circulating fluidized bed combustor (CFBC) under both air-fired and oxy-fired conditions. The dilute zone is treated as an axisymmetric cylindrical enclosure containing a non-gray, absorbing-emitting-isotrop...
An application of Spectral line-based weighted sum of grey gases (SLW) model with geometric optics approximation for radiative heat transfer in 3-D participating media DÖNER, NİMETİ; Selçuk, Nevin (2013-01-10) A three-dimensional radiation code based on method of lines (MOL) solution of discrete ordinates method (DOM) coupled with spectral line-based weighted sum of grey gases (SLW) model and geometric optics approximation for particles is developed and its predictive ability is tested by applying it to the freeboard of a 0.3 MWt Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) containing a non-grey, absorbing, emitting and isotropically scattering particle laden flue gas and comparing its predictions with me...
