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 temperatures. Transient results exhibit the physically expected trends. The coupled code is a promising tool for the simulation of transient reacting radiating flows. (c) 2006 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

Time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved in conjunction with the radiative transfer equation by coupling a previously developed direct numerical simulation-based computational fluid dynamics code to an existing radiation code, both based on the method of lines approach. The temperature profiles predicted by the coupled code are validated against steady-state solutions available in the literature for laminar, axisymmetric, hydrodynamically developed flow of a gray, absorbing, emitting fluid in a hea...
A novel cfd code based on method of lines for reacting flows: Verification on methane/air diffusion flame
Tarhan, Tanil; Selçuk, Nevin (2007-01-01)
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.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on direct numerical simulation (DNS) and the method of lines MOL approach developed previously for the solution of transient two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent, incompressible, internal, non-isothermal flows with constant wall temperature was applied to prediction of turbulent flow and temperature fields in flows dominated by forced convection in circular tubes with strong heating. Predictive ability of the code was tested by comparing its r...

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, based on direct numerical simulation (DNS) and method of lines (MOL) approach previously developed for the prediction of transient turbulent, incompressible, confined non-isothermal flows with constant wall temperature was applied to the prediction of turbulent flow and temperature fields in flows dominated by forced convection in circular tubes with strong heating.

Novel sequential and parallel computational fluid dynamic (CFD) codes based on method of lines (MOL) approach were developed for the numerical simulation of multi-component reacting flows using detailed transport and thermodynamic models. Both codes were applied to the prediction of a confined axisymmetric laminar co-flowing methane-air diffusion flame for which experimental data were available in the literature. Flame-sheet model for infinite-rate chemistry and one-, two-, and five- and ten-step reduced fi...
