Numerical study of a turbulent co-axial non-premixed flame for methanol hydrothermal combustion: Comparison of the EDC and FGM models

Eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model and flamelet generated manifolds (FGM) model are developed separately to study the temperature profiles and extinction limits of non-premixed hydrothermal flames. Predictions by the two models are evaluated comparatively by experimental data in literatures. FGM model shows relatively better prediction of...

Numerical study of the counterflow diffusion flames of methanol hydrothermal combustion: The real-fluid effects and flamelet analysis

Counterflow diffusion flames of methanol hydrothermal combustion are investigated to improve the understanding of hydrothermal flames. It is indicated that the thermodynamic properties by the Peng-Robinson equation of state and the modified transport properties can reduce the flame temperature by about 500 K. The Takahashi correlation for...
