In doing so, the adiabatic flame temperature is maintained by increasing the equivalence ratio, or alternatively increasing the unburned gas temperature, for increasing levels of water loading. Thus, it is possible to elucidate the changes in <span>({text {NO}_text {x}})</span> production at constant-temperature conditions when the mixture is diluted with water. A consistent reduction of <span>({text {NO}_text {x}})</span> emissions for increasing water dilution can be observed from 1-D premixed freely propagating flame simulations. Regarding the chemical kinetics effect of water vapour, the relative importance of different third-body reactions is examined by modifying the corresponding water collision efficiencies individually. For the chemical mechanism adopted, three reactions directly affect the nitrogen chemistry and the remaining relevant reactions are important for the flame structure and radicals concentration. The analysis stresses the importance of indirect effects like the formation and consumption of <span>(text {O})</span> and <span>(text {H})</span> radicals in the pre-heat zone, which enhance the subsequent formation of <span>({text {NO}_text {x}})</span> within the flame. The presence of steam can lead to a reduction of approximately <span>(50%)</span> in <span>({text {NO}_text {x}})</span> emissions under conditions close to stoichiometry and high water loading (<span>(10%)</span> by mass), compared to scenarios without water addition. Furthermore, the efficiency of water in third-body reactions significantly contributes to an emission reduction, and half of <span>(text {NO})</span> emissions under the same water loading conditions at high equivalence ratio are observed when the third-body reaction efficiency is activated with respect to the case with zero efficiency. This reduction is primarily attributed to effects on radical concentrations. Finally, the chemical effect via the third-body efficiency of water is examined with respect to flame speed. It turns out that the adiabatic flame temperature plays a key role for the relative influence of the chemical kinetics effect of water dilution. A cross-over temperature is found, below which the chemical effect of water reduces the flame speed, whereas the flame speed is increased above it.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"113 2","pages":"519 - 534"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10494-024-00551-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140965265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals three recirculation zones in the streamwise direction, indicating intricate separation phenomena caused by the interaction between the ribbed wall and the flow.

The study demonstrates that the influence of the Reynolds number on these vortices is not well-scalable with respect to outer units, in contrast with respect to smooth ducts. Investigating side-wall effects, increased turbulent production rate, and non-equilibrium turbulence along the side walls highlight the sensitivity of turbulent stresses to Reynolds number and side-wall proximity.

Such flames are characterized by length-scale ratio (ratio of integral length scale and laminar thermal flame thickness) and velocity-scale ratio (ratio of turbulence intensity and laminar flame speed). A canonical test configuration corresponding to an initially laminar methane/air lean premixed flame interacting with decaying isotropic turbulence is considered. We consider five cases with the initial Karlovitz number of 18, 37, 126, and 260 to examine the effects of an increase in pressure from 1 to 10 atm with fixed turbulence characteristics and at a fixed Karlovitz number, and the changes to characteristic scale ratios at the pressure of 10 atm. The increase in pressure for fixed turbulence characteristics leads to enhanced flame broadening and wrinkling due to an increase in the range of energetic scales of motion. This further manifests into affecting the spatial and state-space variation of thermo-chemical quantities, single point statistics, and the relationship of heat-release rate to the flame curvature and tangential strain rate. Although these results can be inferred in terms of an increase in Karlovitz number, the effect of an increase in pressure at a fixed Karlovitz number shows differences in the spatial and state-space variations of thermo-chemical quantities and the relationship of the heat release rate with the curvature and tangential strain rate. This is due to a higher turbulent kinetic energy associated with the wide range of scales of motion at atmospheric pressure. In particular, the magnitude of the correlation of the heat release rate with the curvature and the tangential strain rate tend to decrease and increase, respectively, with an increase in pressure. Furthermore, the statistics of the flame-turbulence interactions at high pressure also show sensitivity to the changes in the characteristic length- and velocity-scale ratios. The results from this study highlight the need to accurately account for the effects of pressure and characteristic scales for improved modeling of such flames.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"113 2","pages":"481 - 517"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10494-024-00550-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140888683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the rotor–stator interaction contributes up to 50% of the total sound energy, the flow fluctuations are influenced by the rotor–stator interaction even in the very upstream region of the stator passage due to the massive pressure wave reflections between the stator vane row and the rotor blade row. Therefore, the tonal noise at the blade passing frequency and its second harmonic frequency are the dominant noise of the turbine stage. An aerodynamic-acoustic feedback loop is observed in the stator passage and it is mainly due to the emission, reflection and interference of the pressure waves generated by the trailing edge vortex shedding. The surface pressure levels of the rotor blade surface are lower than those of the stator vane surface, thus the rotor blades have a smaller contribution to the overall noise level of the turbine stage than the stator vanes, since there is no aerodynamic-acoustic feedback loop in the rotor passage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"113 2","pages":"249 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subgrid-scale approximations considered herein address the classic Smagorinsky-Lilly, the Wall-Adapting Local Eddy-Viscosity (WALE), and the Kinetic Energy Subgrid-Scale (KESS) model, whereby only static implementations, i.e., those without dynamically adjusted model parameters, are considered. The associated continuous adjoint systems and resulting shape sensitivity expressions are derived. Information on the consistent discrete implementation is provided that benefits from the self-adjoint primal discretization of convective and diffusive fluxes via unbiased, symmetric approximations, frequently performed in explicit LES studies to minimize numerical diffusion. Algebraic primal subgrid-scale models yield algebraic adjoint LES relationships that resemble additional adjoint momentum sources. The KESS one equation model introduces an additional adjoint equation, which enlarges the resulting continuous adjoint KESS system with potentially increased numerical stiffness. The different adjoint LES methods are tested and compared against each other on a flow around a circular cylinder at <span>(text{Re}_text{D} = {140000,})</span> for a boundary (drag) and volume (deviation from target velocity distribution) based cost functional. Since all primal implementations predict similar flow fields, it is possible to swap the associated adjoint systems –i.e., applying an adjoint WALE method to a primal KESS result– and still obtain plausible adjoint results. Due to the LES’s inherent unsteady character, the adjoint solver requires the entire primal flow field over the cost-functional relevant time horizon. Even for the academic cases studied herein, the storage capacities are in the order of terabytes and refer to a practical bottleneck. However, in the case of suitable, time-averaged cost functional, the time-averaged primal flow field can be used directly in a steady adjoint solver, which results in a drastic effort reduction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":559,"journal":{"name":"Flow, Turbulence and Combustion","volume":"113 2","pages":"293 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140587559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
