Conditional source-term estimation evaluations for partially-premixed flames

Thesis

Partially-premixed flames, characterised by both premixed and non-premixed flame structures, have been identified to be of particular importance within most practical combustion-powered devices. However, as most existing combustion models assume a single flame structure, the present understanding of partially-premixed flames under lean mixture conditions and high turbulence intensity is still limited, and further research is needed to better represent these processes numerically. A detailed ...
