In this work, we develop a 2D numerical model of a Y-shaped bifurcating combustor with a
Helmholtz resonator attached. Propane (C 3 H 8) is fueled and burnt with air by applying …

Large-scale engineering systems, such as propulsive engines, ship structures, and wind
farms, feature complex, multi-scale interactions between multiple physical phenomena …

Computationally efficient modeling of gas turbine combustion is challenging due to the
chaotic multi-scale physics and the complex non-linear interactions between acoustic …

New observations are reported of the processes leading up to lean blowoff (LBO) in a two-
dimensional confined bluff body flame by visualizing LBO from a spanwise perspective …

The accuracy of large eddy simulations of bluff-body premixed flames is assessed through
detailed comparison to experimental measurements acquired using a variety of modern …

Conclusions This study shows that the recirculation zone behind a two-dimensional
confined bluff body flame is three-dimensional, and contains significant spanwise …

For large-eddy simulation of turbulent premixed reacting flows, major challenges stem from
the inability to resolve the flame in a computationally affordable manner. These challenges …

High-fidelity scale-resolving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations may provide a
path towards predictive capabilities for many engineering-relevant applications, in particular …

The vortical structures of recirculation zones in turbulent nonreacting and premixed reacting
flows around confined equilateral-triangle bluff bodies are investigated using large-eddy …

A turbulent syngas combustor is experimentally characterized for its transitionary stability
characteristics by continuously varying Reynolds number (Re). The combustor transits from …
