On Lean Turbulent Combustion Modeling
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper investigates a lean methane-air flame with different chemical reaction mechanisms, for laminar and turbulent combustion, approached as one and bi-dimensional problem. The numerical results obtained with Cantera and Ansys Fluent software are compared with experimental data obtained at CORIA Institute, France. First, for laminar combustion, the burn temperature is very well approximated for all chemical mechanisms, however major differences appear in the evaluation of the flame front thickness. Next, the analysis of turbulence-combustion interaction shows that the numerical predictions are suficiently accurate for small and moderate turbulence intensity.

Tribological aspects of dynamic seals with O-rings used in aircraft hydraulic equipment
Depending on the operating parameters, a dynamic sealing system with O-rings can be in different friction modes: dry, limit, mixed or fluid. Modification of the friction mode occurs throughout the operating life, but als...
