The progress variable describes the progress of reactions in a system and parameterizes a lookup table of thermochemical variables. This approach reduces the cost of simulations, transporting only one scalar (progress variable) instead of the many species mass fractions required for detailed chemistry. Originally developed for low Mach number flame simulations, recent works have focused on extensions of this approach to compressible flames, supersonic combustion, and detonations, with applications such as scramjet combustors and rotating detonation engines. Unlike low Mach simulations, compressible flow simulations require solving the energy transport equation, which is coupled to the equation of state. This leads to additional modeling challenges regarding the thermodynamics and its impact on the chemistry. The validity of modeling assumptions, for example the relationship between energy and temperature, also varies with the combustion regime. The present work provides a detailed assessment of the existing strategies for chemistry tabulation for compressible/supersonic combustion, including detonations. A priori analysis indicates that approximations which are reasonable for weakly compressible flames may break down for shock-induced combustion. The analysis identifies specific assumptions and approximations that do not hold for detonations, emphasizing that care must be taken when applying tabulated chemistry models outside their intended combustion regimes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":408,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Combustion Institute","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 105798"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These measurements revealed empirical relations of molecular structure to the yields of these intermediates. The relationships provided important insights into fuel reactivity under high-temperature, combustor-relevant conditions. The IR-HyChem methodology establishes quantitative correlations between spectral features and the yields of these pyrolysis intermediates. Using this framework, IR-HyChem models were demonstrated for two jet fuels (JP-8 and F-24) and a rocket fuel (RP-1), by constraining a subset of stoichiometric parameters in the HyChem lumped reactions, resulting in partially constrained IR-HyChem models. These models were evaluated against ignition delay times (IDTs) measured behind reflected shock waves at elevated pressures, demonstrating strong agreement with experimental data. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis revealed that imposing FTIR-based constraints reduced variance in IDT predictions compared to unconstrained models. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis indicated that additional IR spectra-based correlations could improve the accuracy of the IR-HyChem models.

The morphological characteristics of soot are traditionally explored experimentally via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), usually by investigating the images via manual segmentation, which is highly labor intensive. To improve this process, a novel model for the automatic segmentation of primary particles in TEM images of soot is presented in this work. The goal of the model is to identify and isolate each primary particle from a TEM image of a soot aggregate. The model, titled Soot Aggregate Geometry Extraction (SAGE) employs a two-stage training process using a convolutional neural network: an initial training on synthetically-generated TEM images followed by a refinement training by using manually segmented real TEM images. The model was tested against a dataset of real TEM images that included images from sources different from the training data (i.e., different instruments and different researchers). When tested against this real TEM image dataset of soot, SAGE shows good performance with an F<span><math><msub><mrow></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow></msub></math></span> score of 67.7%, indicating its ability to correctly identify primary particles while achieving a balanced trade off between missing true particles and detecting false ones. SAGE is able to detect more primary particles with better shape and size alignments with the ground truth data than traditional methods such as circular Hough transform or Euclidean distance mapping methods, leading to a much higher mean Intersection over Union score of 62.2%. Unlike most existing approaches that produce circular segmentations and require image-by-image tuning, SAGE effectively captures irregular particle boundaries without additional adjustments.

The results indicate that the predicted TG curves of PE/PVC mixtures align closely with the experimental data, confirming the absence of coupling effects between PE and PVC decomposition. However, the model for PE/PP mixtures fails to accurately predict the thermal decomposition process with a noticeable underprediction of the initial decomposition temperature. A careful analysis highlights the strong coupling effect between PE and PP decomposition upon heating, and a simple combination of kinetic models for single components cannot fully reveal the thermal decomposition mechanisms of the PE/PP mixtures.

Their suppression is essential for fire safety and often relies on the use of flame retardants. This study investigates the inhibition effectiveness of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a phosphorous-based flame retardant, by analyzing its impact on non-premixed flames in a counterflow configuration. The counterflow flame is a suitable reference configuration since it offers a controlled environment for resolving the relevant transport and chemical effects, while also allowing a direct comparison with experimental data from the literature. Using methane as a reference fuel, the numerical framework is validated for undoped and DMMP-doped flames, and then used to examine how strain rate, oxidizer temperature, and injection location (fuel or oxidizer side) influence flame inhibition. To connect with near-wall conditions, boundary conditions from a non-premixed BLF generated in a side wall quenching (SWQ) setup, are also applied in the counterflow simulations. The results show that DMMP promotes combustion at low strain rates and high flame temperatures, but acts as an inhibitor at higher strain rates and lower flame temperatures. The injection location strongly influences inhibition efficiency: due to transport limitations, in a methane non-premixed flame at atmospheric conditions nearly 100 times more DMMP must be issued from the fuel-side compared to oxidizer-side injection to reach a comparable flame inhibition. Furthermore, lower oxidizer temperatures enhance inhibition by increasing DMMP penetration into the reaction zone. Since flame retardants are typically released with the fuel in real fires, these findings hint towards challenges and opportunities for achieving effective suppression.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":408,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Combustion Institute","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 105898"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145262470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative analysis shows that cooled boundaries reduce the detonation wave height compared to adiabatic cases and promote irregular cell sizes due to suppressed boundary layer reactions. These findings present the first systematic evidence of 3D thermal confinement effects on RDW dynamics, revealing a critical trade-off in combustor design: while lower wall temperatures enhance material durability, they compromise combustion efficiency through increased flow unsteadiness and incomplete fuel consumption.
