Abstract: An OpenFOAM-based solver for spray combustion simulation with the large eddy simulation (LES) and the flamelet generated manifold (FGM) method, was developed. A simple reduction of the temperature was employed to account for the evaporative heat loss. The solver was firstly validated against the Syd...
Abstract: The LES of partially premixed turbulent flame MRB in TU Darmstadt was conducted based on the flamelet-tabulated combustion model FGM, and effects of premixed and partially premixed tabulations on the modelling results were studied. The results show that, different methods of tabulation exhibit limit...
Abstract: Aimed at the phenomenon of flame flashback and low-frequency combustion oscillation in the scramjet combustor with equal straight cross sections, 3D simulations were conducted, with the hybrid RANS/LES method (delayed detached-eddy simulation, DDES) for turbulence modeling and the partially stirred ...
Abstract: The liquid jet breakup and atomization interacting with a strong swirling crossflow is of significance in designing advanced aeroengines. The Eulerian-Lagrangian method was utilized to simulate the jet breakup and atomization processes. The volume of fluid (VOF) method was employed to track the gas-...
Abstract: The mixture fraction is a conserved scalar characterizing the fuel-air mixing. As a key reference scalar for turbulent combustion modelling, its spatial distribution is usually obtained through 3D numerical simulation, which are, however, time-consuming and costly for combustors with complex geometr...
Abstract: Fuel spray wall impingement is a common phenomenon in small high-pressure direct injection diesel engines. Fuel spray wall impingement influences the in-cylinder combustion process, and significantly impacts the engine's dynamics, fuel economy, and emissions. To better understand the combustion char...
Abstract: In the research field of projectile penetration into reinforced concrete, the penetration depth discreteness generally exists in experiments and empirical formulas, and the difference of impact positions is one of the main reasons for this discreteness. To explore the penetration depth discreteness ...
Abstract: Analytical solutions, with unique research value, can serve as benchmarks for empirical formulas and numerical methods, a tool for rapid parameter analysis and optimization, and a theoretical basis for experimental designs. Conventional analytical methods, e.g., the Lévy solution method, are only ap...
Abstract: Based on the Hamiltonian variational principle, the 2D field equations and boundary conditions for flexoelectricity were derived, and the corresponding governing equations were obtained through substitution of the constitutive relation and geometric equations into the field equation. The in-plane te...
Abstract: The method of designing cell structures with variable-density cells based on erode-dilate operators was applied to the optimization of thermal structures. A series of variable-density microstructures with the same topology definition but different volume fractions were obtained with erode-dilate ope...
Abstract: The elastic analysis of anisotropic rotating sandwich ring with a functionally graded transition region was carried out. Like the shell sandwich structure in nature, the ring is composed of 3 well-bonded regions, of which the inner and outer regions are made of homogeneous anisotropic materials, and...
