A novel parallel computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code based on method of lines (MOL) approach was developed for the numerical simulation of multi-component reacting flows using detailed transport and thermodynamic models. The code was applied to the prediction of a confined axi-symmetric laminar co-flowing methane-air diffusion flame for which experimental data were available in the literature. 1-, 5- and 10-step reduced finite-rate reaction mechanisms were employed for methane-air combustion sub-model. Steady-state velocity, temperature and species profiles obtained by all the mechanisms were validated against experimental data and were found to be in reasonably good agreement with measurements. The code was found to be a useful tool for the prediction and understanding of transient combustion systems.

Transient simulation of reacting radiating flows Uygur, A. Bilge; Tarhan, Tanil; Selçuk, Nevin (2006-10-01) Laminar methane-air diffusion flame was simulated by coupling a method of lines based parallel direct numerical simulation code with a radiation code based on method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method. The predictions of the code are validated against experimental data as well as numerical results of the same code without radiation model. Comparisons show that incorporation of radiation code to the computational fluid dynamics code results in a significant improvement in the predicted temperatur...
A 3-D radiation model for non-grey gases Selçuk, Nevin (2009-02-01) 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 for radiative heat transfer in non-grey absorbing-emitting media for use in conjunction with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on the same approach was developed. The code was applied to three test problems: two containing isothermal homogenous/non-homogenous water vapor and one non-isothermal water vapor/carbon di...
Method of lines for transient flow fields Tarhan, T; Selçuk, Nevin (2001-01-01) A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on the method of lines (MOL) approach was developed for the solution of transient, two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible separated internal flows in complex rectangular geometries. The predictive accuracy of the code was tested by applying it to the prediction of flow fields in both laminar and turbulent channel flows with and without sudden expansion, and comparing its predictions with either measured data or numerical results available i...
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 ...
A non-iterative pressure based scheme for the computation of reacting radiating flows Uygur, A. Bilge; Selçuk, Nevin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2008-03-01) A non-iterative pressure based algorithm which consists of splitting the solution of momentum energy and species equations into a sequence of predictor-corrector stages was developed for the simulation of transient reacting radiating flows. A semi-discrete approach called the Method of Lines (MOL) which enables implicit time-integration at all splitting stages was used for the solution of conservation equations. The solution of elliptic pressure equation for the determination of the pressure field was perfo...
