Development of a partially premixed combustion model

Abstract

In this work, a possible extensions of the TFC model to imperfectly premixed cases has been introduced and validated, even if in a purely qualitative way. The proposed IPM model has given results physically consistent and it seems able to describe in more correct terms actual combustor, in which it is far from real any assumption of having perfectly premixed mixtures feeding the combustion chamber. Nevertheless, a proper validation of the proposed IPM model and of the TFC model over a realistic industrial case is still to come and it will be an essential part of the future work. Finally, the quite general lines of how to get a partially premixed model (premixed plus diffusion) have been drawn, showing that, in principle, no new modeling is needed and that it would be probably enough to assembly already existent premixed and diffusion models. The actual implementation of the idea above into ARES could be also a future development of this work
